My mate has purchased this and he brought it round last night. The multi player seems a bit pants but the single players is great fun.

We got through the first two sets of challenges and I really enjoyed playing it.

However, looking in the back of the current issue of OXM, they only gave it 7/10.

Has anyone else got this game, and does it get hard/boring/repetitive after a while or something?

Project Gotham Racing 2 is way better than Metropolis Street Racer. It took everything that was good about MSR, refined it, made it look better, gave it faster cars and more cities.

And then it gave it the most comprehensive Live mode of any game, along with downloadable content. Above all that they made it more accessible for people who were really poor at the game and made it more challenging for those who were really good.

In my opinion, after 75 hours worth of playing it, Project Gotham Racing 2 is the closest thing to a perfect racing game that there is.

I didn't particularly like Underground from the start. I found the racing shallow and dull compared to the likes of Burnout 2. Nicely presented, but average.

I claimed PGR 2 as a GAD and have only played it about an hour since I've had it.

It's a complete let down to MSR.

To be honest, I've found I don't really like PGR 2. In fact, I haven't touched it in about 6 months.

I don't what it is, but I just don't enjoy it anywhere near as much as the first one.

I used to have it on PS2. Single player was indeed enjoyable, but I personally found it to get a little repetitive and boring after some time.

The PS2 version has online play, which I could never connect to for some reason, so I took it back.

Not a bad game, but there is better out there. I think it deserves 7/10.

It's average street in da hoodz racing with added sheen and drag effects.

In comparison to PGR2 et al, it sucks.
