Project Gotham 2

Project Gotham Racing 2 comes roaring into view with its eyes on the Gran Turismo series. But Bizarre Creations has developed a stunning racing franchise that deserves to be praised on its own merit. Get ready to put the pedal to the very expensive metal.

Those gamers hoping for an automotive adventure on par with Gran Turismo will be disappointed. This game isn't about simulation, but it's by far the best arcade racing game to appear on a console. While the single player is fun to truly appreciate the game requires Xbox Live. The integration of the online elements into the game is perfection itself.

Boys and their cars, oh deary me. But, dammit, I do admit to loving this game. I was thrilled the first time I drove the Koenigsegg CC around the 13 miles of the Nurburgring circuit. One thing that impressed me was how easy it was to get the really fast cars. You can earn enough Kudos Tokens to get hold of the Ferrari Enzo in an hour. But for offline racers at least, it makes more sense buy cars for the class you're currently racing. Anyway, enough waffle from me, go buy the game.

I can drive my car in this game, which is all I ever ask for in my video gaming pleasure. If only they'd included Manchester as one of the locations, I could re-enact my driving shenanigans. Great graphics and gameplay combined with killer online gameplay. It's a triple A release from Microsoft and one no self-respecting Xbox owner can be without.
