PGR

This annoys the hell out of me. MSR was one of my favourite games on Dreamcast, I'm not a big racing fan but it managed to be realistic but still remain fun.

This is why PGR annoys the crap out of me. MSR was always challenging but it never felt like an uphill struggle and never got to the point where you didn't want to play anymore because it was just too damn frustrating. There was always steady progression and it always rewarded you for doing well.

This is were PGR goes horribly wrong, it's to be blunt just damn annoying. Where some of the new additions are nice, the graphics are nice, the new tracks are nice etc etc. What they've done with the game play down right sucks. The new Kudos system is rubbish, the fact that you can only use 1 joker in every cup seems like a small niggle but it's actually really frustrating, the level of difficulty on some of the challenges had increased 10 fold to stupid levels. Oh and don't get me started on the stupid cone challenges.

Don't get me wrong, PGR IMO is still an above average racing game and I will stick with it. But it's no longer the fun game that MSR was, it's frustrating to the point that I want to smash the TV with my fist.

Anyone who interprets that as me saying that the franchise is bad is an idiot. Don't cry, Ali..

Oh for crying out loud Mav get some of your own opinions. When has Tilta ever said the game way bad? Its challenging and by the best street racing game I have ever played. Project Gotham 2 is going to be even better and with LIVE play it could end up being one of the best games of this year/next year.

Rogue Leader is at first incredibly difficult to even contemplate Gold.

Then you find you can do it. Not sure if its the same for PGR.

Teehee.

I find PGR god damn frustrating aswell, But it offers a challenge, and you'll soon be getting mad driving "$k1llz" if you keep practicing.

And the cone challenges are easy :P

And you should be anticipating getting that gorgeous TVR Tuscan.
