I tend to think either RalliSport Challenge 2 or SC:PT.

But I'll probably be crap at both. Anything else out now or soon really worth getting? Preferably a Live game as well.

Conan's very very good so far, played about an hour and a half into it. The Combo's are simple but effective and you get to buy the ones you want with your experience points, there's also a decent story which is perfectly balanced to be interesting but not to be so long it gets in the way of the action.

Happy is I.

Yea I agree with you, PGR2's problem, and probably it's only problem, is track design. It's not that they're badly designed, it's just that they are built for street racing. That's the reason why I prefer Toca2, it has brilliant track designs as they are based on real tracks that are actually designed to be raced on.

But you have to remember the Kudos system, if you had plenty of run off space, like gravel traps ans stuff, then the game would be far too easy. When you're street racing it's much more risky, so in some way, PGR2's tracks reflect that.

I don't mean to seem like a moaning git here, but if you get THUG you'll have it finished within hours.

I just got Grabbed by the ghoulies and Tony Hawks Underground, and I am very into them. I recommend them if you don't already own them.

that reminds me, i haven't completed rallisport challenge 1. The game that came with halo and my xbox. But that game is so difficult.

Yes, but the point I was trying to make is that whatever track you're on, it still feels the same. When you're racing, honestly, how much do you look at the scenery?

I find the cone challenges to be the weakest point of the game.

The tracks are perfect and accurate to real life, well of the cities I've been in. I had an aunt stay with me a couple of weeks ago, I'm nessing about in Chicago and she recognised it straight away. That's how good they are.

I've not played either of the 'competitors', but the cone challenges have had me hooked enough to believe that the others won't get a look in

For me the track design in Gotham is really lacking, the fact that you can't damage your cars is poor as well. On top of that there's no real reason to race the slower cars and the fact that the developers decided not to include any kind of season mode when racing online realy sucks the life out of it.

It's good, really good. But for me TOCA Race Driver 2 and Rallisport Challenge 2 both crush it online and off.

PGR2, for me, has that element of class that other games don't seem to have. Everything seems so strong, so well done, so solid. It's amazing.
