One of the best racing games I have ever played. The graphics are near real. I have played several other racing games including Rallisport Challenge and Nascar Thunder 2003, but this beats them all (to pulp).

One of the best racing games to date but...

if only xbox had a decent racing controller to match. Hey InterAct! Make an UltraRacer for Xbox.

By now you know PGR is a beautiful and awesome racer, somewhere between the GranTurismo and Ridge Racer series' I think, not quite a true sim since you can't tweak the cars but not really an arcade racer either. Fortunately, it takes the best gameplay elements from both and adds something unique to the mix (the kudos system) and you are left with a game that is actually worth what you paid for it (if not just a little bit more).

Obviously this game (and racing games in particular) are not for everyone. But certainly any fan of the racing genre will love this game. It has that "just one more try" aspect to it that makes it impossible to put down. Another reviewer put it best, you will wear out (from lack of sleep and sore thumbs) before this game does. The unique aspect to this game, the kudos system, is not unlike the scoring systems in games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, where linking tricks together are the key to the highest possible score, but a crash will give you a big honkin zero. You find your self thinking about driving strategies like "how do I extend my slide so I can make it through the next gate AND not scrape the wall."

As a side note, after playing PGR and then going to race BIG American Muscle cars in Motor City Online, you can REALLY appreciate the control and balance of a finely tuned European auto. Now if PGR included a '64 Corvette or a '70 Plymouth Hemi Cuda it would be a perfect racing game.

oh my wow

Top three reasons why people hate this game... 1) all they say is it's boring 2) its too hard 3) takes too long to unlock hidden cars and the like.
Now i think all three reasons people have listed as to why this game "sucks" are just petty. "Oh the game is unfair i always spin out" well learn to not spin out, avoid the other cars and don't let it aggreviate you. Those who claim the game is too slow obviously must not have gotten their car past the first turn. Sure you car feels like it's going 5 mph until you try and make a turn, whereas you're going to slam into a wall unless you can appreciate how realistic the game is. As for the third most common complaint, find a cheat code guys, as for the rest of us who have an attention span longer than 3.21 seconds we like having to race lap after lap for 1 one to get a new helmet, and however long it takes to perfect the course to get a new car.

First Game on my X-Box

Being this the first game I have gotten for X-Box I find the graphics awesome. I barely got this game a couple of days ago and so far so good! The music choice and the difficulty make this an awesome adventure. Some people are saying this game is too hard...well what do you expect? a little easy baby game? That'll be to boring. Thats the point, it's MEANT to be hard! And thats one of the reasons I like it so much, although the only annoying thing is you can't turn corners as fast as the computer, it's gets me annoyed. If you have an X-Box and your a big racing fan, this game is for you!

Good racing game

When I first got this game (I bought the X-Box system as a package and had to get three games) I thought it would be a Grand Trismo rip off. I was wrong. Time matters very little in this game, rather it isn't how fast you do the course, but how well you do it. With a point system that calls apon you do to various tricks that can increase you score and medals being based on that, its a refreshing change from the "I have a need for speed games". Not that there's anything wrong with them, but a change is nice every once and a while.
Then there are the sound tracks, you can make your own. With the X-Box being able to be used as a juke box, the game can pull the riped tracks off the systems hard drive and you can play what ever you like. The DJ in the radio function does get anoying after a while but he/she has a lot of different saying and only rarely repeats him/herself. I'm just suprised that they didn't put ads in the radio function for Microsoft products, new games..etc.

This is one addictive game

I got this for christmas, and a buddy of mine and I can't stop playing. We have had a couple of 3-4 hours racing until 2-3 AM sessions now, and I can't wait to get back into this game.

There are 29 or so cars, they are tough to get out, but there are like 250 different tracks to race on in San Francisco, New York, London and Tokyo. It is trully addictive, though the racing goals can become tough, its a lot of fun to play.

a great game ... anyone want the code to unlock it all?

this is one great racing game. It has incredible graphics, sound and the gameplay is very realisic. It is not an easy game for those used to games like sonys GT games. it does however give a real racing feel. if u go to fast u spin to slow and u wont get around the turn with any speed at all. I encourage everyone to take the challege and unlock all the cars and tracks. However, if you do't have time to spend hours doing such things THE CODE to unlock the entire game, all cars tracks and paint jobs is this: in the begining of the game when you pick a name for your player type in the name Nosliw. Enjoy

Amazing Graphics

This is a great game. I'm not a car fanatic but it is thoroughly enjoyable.

The graphics are stunning. See very realistic views of the cars including damage if you happen to bump (or be bumped) anything in the game.

That said true racing fans might be a bit disappointed. No wrecks, no fuel management no pits etc.

Best racing game I have played on a console

This game is great. While some may say that it doesn't have enough cars, I think it has plenty, and they are all models of real cars, which is a bonus. Sure,you can always say, "Man, they don't have a (fill in the blank with the car you want to drive regardless of all the others you can drive)," but that's the brakes. Well rendered backdrops, great stunts, and easy control layout makes this game great fun to play.

Move Over and Drive!!

Great game. Great graphics. Great cars. Great skids. This game makes the Xbox worth the money. I'm not the best gamer, but I've logged 11 hours, 25 minutes, and 917.6 miles driven and I've only scratched the surface. Buy this game.
