Project Gotham Racing

First off, I have played every racing game out there and this is a unique one that might be worth a play but it requires skill and not speed, which might make it far too hard for younger players. The gameplay is original, as for the accelerator you pull the right trigger and for the brake you pull the left trigger! You start with three cars and earn nine cars in the game. The cars are based on speed, acceleration, handling and traction. So you pick your car and pick a color then pick one of four cities, San Francisco, New York, Tokyo and London to race 1 of 200 circuits. What makes the game so unique is rather than racing against other cars, you race along a street course, with cones set up and you must go between the cones to get Kudos points. You can get extra Kudos points by doing stunts by really tight turns, or fast turns, or doing donuts in the middle of the street. That's why the game is unique, that doesn't mean everyone will love it, because it can be frustrating going through the cones! If that's not for you then there are "free races" where you select a city, select a circuit and race against five other cars in a winner take all race! With all of that being said, the big feature is the music, you can record your music with the X-Box and play your tunes on the car's radio, so you never get tired of the music!

I bought this game less than a week after getting back from London, so even though my wife wouldn't let us rent a car to get around in the UK, I really feel as though I've driven through London (REALLY FAST).That said, the graphics are superb, the levels laid out true to life, and the physics engine was very realistic. I also loved the fact that the cars took damage.Oh, I loved the fact that if you choose radio, instead of CD music, the radio reception peters out when you go under bridges and through tunnels.Pros:Cars take damage.Textured roads make the controller shake.Graphics are beautifully rendered.Loads of playability.Wonderful true-to-life environments.Nice controller setup.Although there weren't 5,000 cars available to choose from, I liked the ones that they chose (like the Mini Cooper!).Customizable music.Cons:Didn't have 5,000 cars.The single player became too difficult too quickly.

As stated in the title I bought it to complete the series of the games. For its age its not a bad game at all. It shows damage on the cars just like the modern ones (just a bit more pixelated) but overall its a pretty cool game to play.

Works like new!

I should have bought Rallisport Challenge. I bought this because I played it back in the day...I forgot how difficult this game was...being frustrated isn't fun...even with the Nosliw code that unlocks everything, I struggled to beat the harder tracks.

This is a challenging game. Not only do you have to meet your set target in the events, but meet the required Kudo points to earn the medal.

This is a good game had a lot of fun playing it when it first came out.

The game is okay. It kinda limited though. The sequels are better in my opinion.
