this game is terrible, if you like racing games you'll still think this is bad. The driving physics are terrible, i stopped after 5 minutes because i couldn't take another moment of this. This is why you see 5 people selling this for 1 cent. they want to get rid of it.

Great game, not as good as the second though. (Obviousely)

No doubt that Project Gotham Racing is an extremely fun game, but it is just not as good as the second one. I will make this review in PRO/CON format. It is basically your average racing game with the addition of Kudos, which are basically points that you get for cutting sharp turns.

PRO:
1.Graphics are over average
2.Audio (If you like rap)
3.The idea of Kudos is pretty neat.

CON:
1.Not as many cars as PGR 2
2.Not as many maps as PGR 2
3.Not very realistic
4.Not online
5.Can get frustrating at times

This game definetely gets a 5/5 in terms of how fun it is, but there is just way less features in this one then there is in the second PGR 2 which is the reason why i gave it a 3/5.

I've played some very lame games but this game is realy bad.
All the cars suck in the beginning and it takes FOREVER to unlock other cars. If I could I wouldn't give this game any stars. THIS GAME SUCKS!

GREAT GAME TO PURCHASE!

Pros
?
Cons
BAD graphics!
BAD speed!
BAD scenery!
There is absolutley no way to beat your opponets(this game is not hard it is umbeatable)
The sky looks like a blue cloth!
DO NOT GET THE 64 VERSION!!!!!!!!
P.S. I gave it a 1 star because they wouldn't let me go any lower!

Summary: a fantastic game if you're into SERIOUS (well relatively so) simulation racing. This is NOT the type of game that you can just jump into and be successful. You have to practice and train. The graphics and game play are seriously good for a console game. Personally, having a background with games like Grand Prix Legends on the PC, this game can be difficult to master. However, like other racing simulators, when you finally have a good handle on driving, the realism if awesome... you really feel a sense of accomplishment.

Pros: great game play, realistic physics model (the cars feel and drive differently), on-line playing is very rewarding, and challenging (provided you not racing against a bunch of kids that can't control their car well enough to avoid crashing into everybody all the time).

Cons: This game, like any simulator that tries to present a realistic physics model, has a steep learning curve, and some people may find it impossible or at the very least frustrating. To be successful at the game you'll need to understand some basic / advanced racing principles (drifting, hitting corner apex, proper use of throttle, and brakes, drafting, etc.)

great game

This is a great racing game. The graphics are outstanding, and the realisticness of this game is unbelievable. For the people who say it is too hard, they are probably unemployed middle aged jerks. If you want to beat this game, the key to it is to practice, and work at it. I mean, I own 14 cars in the game, and the best one I own is the Vette ZO6, and I dont play it that often. Plus, Im only 13. So , just play the game and stop complaining.

"Project Gotham" fun!

Project Gotham Racing is really fun and exciting. My favorite part is the Kudos Challenge. I love the street races and I get better and better at them each day. The arcade races are cool too. You need a pretty dang good car to get threw the green cones. I bought Gotham from Best Buy. It was only $20! So I said to my self hmm........ I gonna buy this. The first thing the cashier said was "this is a cool game. I was happy :).
When I brought it home, it was like 9:00. I played it right away for like an hour. I went to bed. The next day I played it again. And I have never stopped since.

this is probably the worst and most boring game i have played. you hold accelarate, and turn a bunch. no nitro or nos. no custimizing cars. no fun. i played this game and fell asleep on the accelerate button. i even finished the race. oh by the way, who cares about any kudos. if u slide on a turn u get some, thrilling. if i were u i would get midnight club 2 or gta3 vice city.

ps= ZzZzZzZzZzZ :( boring game

Real Driving. Really Cool. Really Cheap.

This game is very easy to get into. It's a totally different racing game. This may be the racing game for people who don't necessarily like racing games. There may not be too many cars to customize or too many locations, but if you are just interested in the simulation, then this game is everything you need. You don't just race to beat the clock or to win first. It's more of a just-how-well-can-you-drive-really-fast game. But you know what? That is what's so cool about it! It feels like really driving at high speeds. Even the controls are set up that way: left top button to brake, right top button for gas. In this game, you get points for driving well. If you pass drivers up, you get points. You make a hard turn perfectly, you get points. You go through cones at blazing speeds, you get points. Imagine driving over 100 mph and trying not to crash! This is what the game feels like! For some it may be frustrating. It is easy to make points, but it is also very easy to miss out on them. If you crash into something, you lose those points. You can get point rich combos too. But if you accidently hit something like a wall or a cone, you lose them on that turn... yeah it sucks, but it makes the game pretty exciting. You'll find yourself shouting out loud and you will want to restart the race just to get those points. The graphics are cool, the music is cool, and the game play is cool. Much like other racing games, the more you race, the more you unlock. If you don't give up easily, you'll find yourself playing this one for a very long time. The game is well worth its current cost, but you may want to consider just buying the sequel. It looks about the same, but has more goodies like online play, way more cars and way more tracks. But for less than twenty bucks, this game is great!
