An outstanding game, probably the best arcade style-racing game ever (?)

The Good
Well the goons down at Microsoft have done it again. PGR was the second game I got for my box, I wanted to get a Gran Turismo like game and I think PGR will do. Although you can't buy cars like you can in GT its still a great game. I'm liking the idea of Kudos points; it puts a more arcade-like spin on the whole game. Another great thing about PGR is you can listen to your own tracks whilst you race. If you've recorded songs onto your X-Box you can put then into the game under "User Radio" its very different racing around London with Frank Sinatra blazing out of the radio.

The Bad
It does get quite hard, I've completed Halo numerous times now, but PGR is still a work in progress, I'll admit it to you, I’m stuck. Well and truly. It takes time to perfect driving techniques, finding the perfect balance between style and speed, knowing when one is more important than the other, and well, I'm still on a learning curve, a very old, but progressive learning curve. Apart from that it’s a sound game.

The Bottom Line
Project Gotham Racing is another great game for the X-Box, amazing graphics, music to your own tastes, cars to die for, and plenty of tracks.
