Project Gotham Racing 2

« A brilliant game for Xbox and Xbox Live!, quite possible the finest racing title ever created. »

« Certainly the best racing game out there for the Xbox, what it lacks in high level racing realism it more than makes up for in sheer fun. »

« The perfect sequel: a successful gameplay formula with some minor tweaks, together with a great big pile of new content and features. The multiplayer and other online additions are a big step forward. »

« Offers the complete racing experience, with phenomenal graphics, the world's finest cars, exciting gameplay, and the best Live implementation on Xbox. This is without a doubt my favorite racing game ever. »

« Hands-down the best racing game yet to hit Xbox. [Jan 2004, p.62] »

« To put it bluntly, if you are looking for a racing game for the Xbox, one that is stunning graphically with superb racing mechanics, look no further than this title...Amazing, awesome, superb - the superlatives could never end. »

« The best racing game ever, period. The gameplay with the kudos system along with the ability to race eight at a time on Live AND receive rank updates via the scoreboard makes it unique and somewhat revolutionary as of right now. »

« Not only does PGR2 have what it takes in the graphic department like the original, but to be able to challenge your friends and the best in the world using the XboxLive service is something that no game has done so far. »

« This probably would have been a really good racing game if the campaign was like 1/3 of the length. There were just so many races, it has taken me multiple days to get through them. This is hurt by making the progression so painfully linear, moving you up each class slowly and tediously one by one. It would have benefitted a lot from maybe jumping back and forth between the unlocked classes to give a sense of variety. There is a lot of unique content to be had, it is just very stretched out. It also didn't help that the first time I drove a car that I felt was fast and sporty was like 10 hours in. The graphic however are great for the period and although small the soundtrack had a few great songs, some of which have escaped to my own playlist. The handling and physics were meh, nothing really standout about them just basic, grippy and all around uninspired - the game could have potentially benefitted by leaning a bit further into either a sim model or a more arcade - akin to Racedriver Grid for instance - model. It makes me happy that another PGR game has Geometry Wars hidden in the garage like PGR3 which I was so fond of growing up. »

« Incredible. Controls are really nice, cars look and sound great, among some of the best graphics on the original Xbox. Love the simple menus, what happened to those.. really cool to listen to music and local radio stations based on where you are racing, LOVED THAT! »

« The golden mean between a car simulator and an arcade race. Excellent car physics. It was not easy to complete the game and get all the platinum medals. Time Attack and Cone Challenge are the most difficult stages in the game. All cities are worked out to the smallest detail. Incredible graphics for 2003. »

« Still the best arcade handling model to this day. You've probably played Horizon if you're reading this, and the entire PGR series honestly embarrasses that franchise in terms of handling, and PGR2 is the best of the bunch in that regard. Very snappy and smooth, you need to be gentle and progressive with your brake and throttle application but aggressive with the steering. It's easy to learn but very hard to master. Higher difficulty levels are truly brutal. Main campaign is long with excellent progression, you start with hot hatches (and some super hot hatches like the Clio V6 and Integrale) and build up to the fastest road cars of the time (CGT, Enzo, S7). Pretty much all of the cars on the list are legends at this point. All of the tracks are actual road layouts from the real world, spanning several cities, and it even has the full Nordschliefe. Couldn't recommend more, you can feel the amount of care and dedication that went into this game. Even the radio stations in the game that play are local to the city you're in. It reminds you of what we've lost in the racing game market. They really just don't make racers like this anymore. Of all the racing games I've played, which are many, both arcade and sim, casually and competitively, this is my favorite. It deserves to be considered alongside GT4, FM4, FH2, NASCAR Thunder 2004, Rallisport Challenge 2, PGR 4, NFS MW, and all the other legendary racing games. Also it has Geometry Dash. »

« Miglior racing mai creato, grafica mostruosa anche nel 2023, colonna sonora migliore di sempre, modello di guida di gran lunga il più appagante di sempre, in poche parole CAPOLAVORO ASSOLUTO!!! »

« Pioneer in its genre with circuit in real streets. He gave a kick in graphics, speed and gameplay to PS2 Gran Turismo »

« The best racing game for the original Xbox. From visuals to perfect driving mechanics - everything works fine in this fun game. Overall rating: 9.2. »
