Advantages: Cars, lengthy series

Disadvantages: Graphics, variation of tracks

Project Gotham Racing 2 is a game which, looking back upon, has quite poor graphics. This could perhaps be overlooked as it is a relatively old game for an even older console, the XBOX.
There is quite a large format to this game, with a lot of different championships to compete in, each unlocked after the previous has been completed. I think this makes for better gaming as you have to work through each of the championships and fully complete before you can attempt the next.
There arent masses of different tracks in this game, and the ones present are small street tracks, which arent the most exciting, but you are able to choose relatively good spec cars, at least cars capable of winning races, without the need to buy them outright. This could be seen as a good idea, but I dont like this concept, preferring the method found in other games when you have to save money and buy carws to suit your driving wants/ needs.
As with the other games in the PGR series, I feel it is a good arcade style game made of challenges, but it still isnt a great racing game, as there just isnt enough wheel to wheel action.
I can see how this came could be enjoyed, but it just isnt my style of racing.

Summary: Something to pass the time... but not challenge your skills all that much.
