"News just in- PGR 2 looks amazing"

Oh baby. Polish my balls and serve me a milkshake- can this game look any better?

Go to xbox.ign.com then the PGR 2 screens and then the latest images.

Christmas will be good this year.

Thats the only critisism with PGR. The environments were created using bitmap and with minimum detail. PGR 2 uses full 3D rendered backgrounds with real locations and shops. It will be the mutts nuts.

By wrong reasons I mean you carry on playing some of the challenges not because you're enjoying playing them but more because if you don't get past it then you can't progress. But this is a problem with most racing games. It's addictive, but not necessarily an enjoyable addictiveness.

Does that make sense? That's how I found PGR anyway. But I'm not a big racing game fan.

It makes sense but that problem happens with many games. Its fun until you get stuck or have to complete an area but then it becomes annoying. This is where your love for a genre will step in as if you enjoy that genre enough you will usually continue until you have gotten past the hurdle.

I must say that I DID nearly complete PGR, apart from the last season, and the last car I think. Class game, just not quite my thing, I prefer adventures - Splinter Cell,Morrowind and the like, and most SEGA games.

Thats the thing. If you were keen on driving games you would have gone the extra yard. Not a critisism but you just aren't a fan of driving games. I have my favourite genres but I will play any game from any genre thats decent enough.

I love PGR. Not quite as much as MSR, it was the daddy, but I love it still.

Found this on the Bizarre Creations Forum

"Hi, welcome to the forum.

It's now been confirmed that there are 103 cars, and 10 cities - all new, the cities from PGR1 will not be in PGR2 (which is pretty normal when you think about it, and the way it should be - you don't normally include the level from the first game in it's sequel).

The cities are (with what county they're from) -

Barcelona (Spain)
Chicago (US)
Edinburgh (UK)
Florence (Italy)
Hong Kong (China)
Moscow (Russia)
Stockholm (Sweden)
Sydney (Australia)
Washington (US, again )
Yokohama (Japan)

So there you go, a nice selection I think."

So no Birdcage in St James Park in the middle of the night...

And the Nurburgring will be in it too.

Also found on the forum is a list of the cars that have been seen and identified.

"PGR2's car list so far: what we know
For a moment, let's not talk about frame rates, but about cars!
After all those screens, movies and previews, we all have seen loads of cars, but as of yet not all of them. In this topic, I hope to list all of PGR2's cars, when the names are released by Bizarre Creations.

That's 93, so we've almost uncovered PGR2's full car complement. Please reply if I've forgotten any, and keep your eyes peeled for new screen releases, so I can update the list!"

That was as of 16:00 yesterday.

Quiet a selection. But needs Aston Martins. It should be the law.

Wow, what a load of meaningless tripe.

Thats only because you aren't into cars.
