Here is my review of PGR.
I may get bashed for it BUT it is the way I feel.
Project gotham racing
What is so special about this game.It's graphics?It's addictiveness?It's playablility?
Sadly Project Gotham Racing falls short in almost all the categories.The graphics
are Undoubtibly some of the best i have ever seen.The detail of this game
is enough to leave even the avid racing fans in awe.It's in the graphics that the true power of the xbox can be seen.
It is undoubtly the most 'detailed' racing game I have ever seen.The audio tracks in this game
also deserve favorable mention.The game gives you a variety of choices in this
department.You can listen to one of the 8 music stations or 'rip' your own
music to the xbox harddrive and play this instead.
But alas,graphics and music are the only areas which appealled to me.
The game itself is not FUN.If you ask me the graphics in a game could be ps1 level
but the game itself should have been more 'fun'.
When i first sat down to play This game,i felt a shiver of anxiety run down my spine.
But my anxiety soon turned to anger when i started to play.One of the main problems
is the actuall controll of the vehicles.By now we all know the XBOX has
pressure sensitive right and left triggers.These cause a variety of
problems when playing this particular game.For one,pressing the accelerate trigger(right)
too much causes the car so spin out of controll.Pressing the brake trigger(left),coincidently
does the same thing.Finding just the right pressure is time consuming.And now when u finally get it
right u put in halo,and pull the trigger like crazy and all your hard work has gone down the drain.
The game itself is not worth the $50,considerring you will get bored REALLY fast.The game like all others
follow a linear pattern.You can't drive off the road and run into a train.ARGGGGG
This is a good game to borrow from a friend,and play for a while.But the game loses most of it's
essence because by entering a code all the tracks and cars are unlocked.Bummer.
