Anyone up for some Live races (later today or another time) or a offline time trial contest ?
No-one on here seems to have mentioned PGR2 for ages, there must be some racers among you, I've only had it a couple of days and apart from the lack of adjustable settings it's definitely a GT3 beater.
Post your gamertag and suggest a day/time and we'all try to arrange something. Prehaps we can make it a weekly thing ?
PS. where are you all ranked on the overall Live leaderboard, think I'm about 79,000th.

I love that tom and jerry game (heh), in one game i kept knocking the last person further and further back just to annoy him :^)
myself, hedfix and some other decent guys were playing some strange games the other night.
there's the cat and mouse game, which you may already have played, where you team up with another person, one has a mini, and the other has an ultimate car. the idea is to trash the lead mini, and defend your own, the team with the winning mini wins.
then a slight variation, where everyone chose a mini, apart from one who chose an ultimate, the idea being for the ultimate to constantly try and ram the lead mini off. winning mini gets to be the ultimate next round.
it sounds silly but it is really quite entertaining.
Of course, there was plenty of normal racing aswell. I really must say it is by far my favourite game for the old box, and even though I've finished the Kudos World Series on gold, I still have tonnes to complete on one player.
And we've not even had any downloadable content yet.

I so badly rock at this game.....
...Until I get to the first corner, then i'm pretty sheet at it :^)

Mini is so slow you can't help but rack up quite a few K's, no excuses for hitting barriers etc, mind you, try a lap of Nurburgring in the Mini next time your bored (if you have over 10 mins to spare)

Thats where the true fun lies.
Ultimate's just dont match the mightly Mini Cooper in terms of the fun you can have.

I spent nearly an hour playing Mini Cooper S only challenges last night, won about K15,000 and moved upto about 57,000th in the rankings. Must spend more time on this great game.
time for more gotham I think.
Sports utilities suck. there's only the porsche that is any cop, so everyone just ends up picking that.
I should host games more often myself, but I never do, for some strange reason.
we should organise an SR PGR2 extravaganza soon, I look forward to wasting you all.

Changed my mind today after hosting a 3-4 hour game, it's better when I can change the cars and map every couple of races. Had a good race today with sports utility porsches round the nuremberg ring!
Oh and my rank (not my multiplayer Kudos) is 6 and I'm just in the best 40,000 players. ;D

yeah, it's still better than the other cheap joypad analogue stick I have, plus the triggers are better on the official pad. I always used to use it on the PS2, for Gran Turismo, so am pretty used to it.
I'll soon be ordering some new pads once snuggly sorts out the finance payment options on here, along with some great new games, including red faction 2, which is a mere 14 quid!!
