Metropolis Street Racer was released for the Dreamcast back in the day, it instantly attracted a group of gamers with its unique style of racing that put as much weight on style as it did speed. Project Gotham Racing did the same, initiating even more

Perhaps the only major thing that really holds back PGR 2 from challenging the likes of "Gran Turismo" is its lack of real progression. Considering the time I put into the game, I never really felt as if I was working toward a goal.

Some of the best graphics of any game to date, especially when compared to other racing games, but this time around the eye candy comes coupled with compelling, entertaining gameplay that is simply a blast to play.

The A.I., yet again, is guaranteed to cause a few controllers to be flung. While taking part in a group race or any kind, the CPU racers are entirely too dumb. They are wholly dedicated to driving their line no matter what it takes, and will take out a

The races are pretty simple. Just like most recent racing games, you have several modes of play in which to choose from. There's street racing, sprints, timed runs, hot lap, ect. In the main racing section for PGR2, you proceed through the levels of

It is quite easily the greatest title in its genre on the Xbox and you won’t find a better substitution on the console.

The "Kudos" point system remains at the core of PGR2. While completing a race or set of races is all that is necessary to open further challenges, scoring kudos advances your single-player and online rank, rewarding you with tokens to open new cars.

Like it or not, a huge (and sometimes worrying) percentage of teenage boys have a keen interest in cars. Like me, you may not buy Auto Trader every other week and have big posters on the wall of a Porsche 911 GTI, but my head turned in the high street

I’ve never had this urge to unlock all the cars in a racing game since the old San Francisco Rush series. In fact, it probably gets my vote for best game of 2003.

Every car is a lovingly detailed simalcra of the real thing. I am lucky enough to know some guys with VERY expensive tastes in cars - mostly Italian metal and British luxury. Looking at them on the screen is amazing. Even better, the similarity is more

For those who have been living under a rock for since 2001, here’s the rundown on Counter-Strike. You choose (or let the CPU choose for you) to be either a terrorist or a counter-terrorist. Depending on the team you choose and the map you play on, your

Realizing that you shouldn't tinker too much with a solid formula, Bizarre Creations have left the core gameplay from the first Project Gotham Racing very much alone when putting together the sequel, and the game is that much stronger for it. What they

The actual racing itself in PGR2 isn’t all that different from other games in the genre. The cars all handle fairly well and it is pretty easy to drive however you want. What PGR2 does differently is that it asks you to drive with style in order to

It was pretty ironic that Microsoft was publishing Project Gotham Racing on Xbox as a launch title. The main differences in MSR and PGR was the addition of New York City (hence the name), revamped graphics for cities and cars, and an overhauled Kudos
