  • Summary: Project Gotham Racing 2 is a true test of racing skill, style, and daring that rewards you not only for how fast you drive, but also for how you drive fast. Earn Kudos and gain recognition for cornering on two wheels around the Sears Tower in Chicago; power-sliding through the ancient streets of Florence, Italy; or maneuvering along the racing line through the slick streets of Edinburgh, Scotland--all while racing some of the most exotic high-performance vehicles available. You can even challenge other gamers online, using Xbox Live, or take on your friends in a multiplayer race via System Link. Expand

  1. A brilliant game for Xbox and Xbox Live!, quite possible the finest racing title ever created.
  2. Certainly the best racing game out there for the Xbox, what it lacks in high level racing realism it more than makes up for in sheer fun.
  3. One of the most refined and most unique racers of the last few years. It's getting harder and harder for racing games to stand out, but Bizarre Creations succeeded in making Project Gotham Racing 2 a racing game unlike any other.
  4. There's no denying that Project Gotham Racing 2 is one of the most aesthetically accomplished titles ever produced. Yet this doesn't stop PGR2 from feeling a little heartless. In terms of excitement PGR2 is found wanting. [Christmas 2003, p.113]

    Its a great game but not the best racing game ever. I just didn't get much of a sense of speed from the game.

    As great as it is, Its not exciting!! The handling is the best i've seen but I struggle to feel excited by it, its deep and full of rewards and cars GT fans would dream of owning! I do admire the technical brilliance of the game but its a chore to play I feel. Expand

    S-l-o-w Feels like I'm going 35 km/h, when the tachometer says 250.
