Project Gotham Racing - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

Project Gotham Racing (PGR), was the first racing game for me on my XBOX. The graphics were superb of course and it got me quite addicted for a while. The Kudos scoring system was somewhat interesting while based on moves such as powerslides/drifting, two wheelers, and air, which live the phrase "Speed alone will not win". And the soundtrack for PGR kept my driving mood positive the entire time. Overall, I think this game is great, however it no perfect one this time.I've dropped this score to 4 stars for a couple reasons. First off the lack of courses/tracks, actually I expected more variety rather just from 4 places; San Francisco, New York, London, and Tokyo. So it felt that I was replaying the places over and over. And then what ticked me off the most, was the way you obtained the newer cars. I expected maybe a quick race mode would let me choose any car, but it seems that if you don't complete certian levels, you wont get that many cars. And as always, some levels are hard, which then you get stuck for the rest of the time.Overall, its a nice game, if only they would have all availible cars in a free race mode, and a few more track, then that 5 star would speed to it.

I bought this game about four days ago and have played it for about 10 hours. Just the fact that I can play it that much tells me it's a great game, however, in that 10 hours I have only unlocked 8 tracks and 2 cars (and a couple helmets). The game gets ridiculously hard after you get all the silver medals. The graphics are amazing and the courses are a lot of fun, I just wish unlocking new stuff was easier. All in all fun to play for one or multiplayer, very pretty, and...challenging.
