It's looking good, and with an early 2005 release I will almost certainly snap this one up. The screenshots look gorgeous, but will it beat the mighty GT?
Only time will tell...

Can I end someone's race by driving them through a barrier?
Okay, there's something I should know here.
I slide around every corner.

You don't.
Careful braking and balancing on the gas usually does the trick, unless you need to take a real tight turn.
Imagine you are driving a real car, just without the clutch, thats how you do it :-)

It is actually IMPOSSIBLE to get platinums if you powerslide round every corner.
If you're such a big racing game fan, you should get Sega GT and RalliSport Challenge 2.
EDIT - Having completed the game and gotten around 40 platinums and the rest gold, along with having an over 50% win rate on Xbox Live, I do know what I'm talking about. I've spent over 100 hours on PGR2 according to my profile. It's my specialist game.

I've got 10 Platinums, 40 Golds and the rest silver.
When I started out I thought 'Christ, this game smells. I can't do this'.
And then a few days later I did.
Mwah.

This shows that you haven't played much of PGR2. You see, powersliding slows you down a lot. Far better to brake normally early, before a corner, then accelerate out of it. Power slides should only be used in really tight corners.

Exactly. When you first start you get killed by the opposition and you destroy your car.
Then, gradually you realise you have to power slide around every corner, and then you get good.
Burnout 3 I just picked up and felt instanlty home with the controls.

Well, we all have our opinions.
I generally find Burnout 3 more fun then PGR2.
I want Juiced. Played a demo and it's very good :)

PGR2 is a very difficult game if you fail to understand how to control the car effectivly.
