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

The original Project Gotham Racing (PGR) was one of the successful launch titles for Microsoft's Xbox and was also unofficially a sequel to Metropolis Street Racer (MSR) on the now defunct Sega Dreamcast. MSR added something new to the mix with actual

From the start PGR2 looks great, a title sequence that crawls like a horny lover over the bodywork of the Ferrari Enzo. Then there's the wonderful showroom and garage facility, which may at first seem little more than a gimmick but allows you to view and

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

One of the things that sets the game apart from the many other racing titles on the market is its unique Kudos system that rewards style as well as skill. These are an important part of the game and the main indicator of your progression. Players can

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

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

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.

Now while PGR1 was a fun game, most people found it too hard and ended up giving up on it or using the widely known cheat code that unlocked everything for you straight away. PGR2 sets the benchmark for how games should be from now on. Instead of forcing

Hands down the best racing game of the year. And I would even go a little farther and say with the exception of the original Project Gotham Racing at the time, PGR2 is one of the best racing games I've put my hands on. The sheer depth of the game alone

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

The game looked gorgeous, it supported four players, and its Kudos system of rewarding stylish driving as much as winning the race was definitely intriguing. But the learning curve and stingy distribution of Kudos points were serious strikes against it

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.

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.
