I'm addicted to PGR2! I've put on about 38 hours since I got it Friday night. I have work, and a girlfriend, yet I some how put almost 40 hours into a game in only 5 days, with maybe only 10 or so online. I'm not even done with the game, I have half the cars unlocked, and I still on American Muscle, which is about the 5th or 6th series from the top, and I havn't even started with the Car challenges or anything yet, just the Kudos World Series. My finger is sore from racing so much, its red. I logged in more hours today than I'm comfortable sharing with you all.
Single player is alright, I was having a great time just trying to do the tracks, I was playing and practicing to get ready for online.... But I didn't think the Online mode would be so fun!
Online is total gaming bliss, rarely lags, awesome competition, lots of games to choose from, (mostly) friendly people, and such a high degree of skill needed to win. One big mistake can cost you the race, as well as a mistake by the opponent can give you the win. Its great pushing the cars to the limit without wiping out. The game is so fun!
Tracks are definatly awesome, I love the Nurburgring, 13 miles of twisting and turning bliss. So many different tracks to choose from as well, Capital Thrill, KGB Circle, and St Basil's Circle are some more of my favorites. But nothing compares with Nurburgring. Tons of cars as well, 100+, in 13 different catagories. I like the Super Car, Track Specials, and Grand Touring the best. I'm not a big fan of the super duper amazing wondercars. While the Enzo and gang are awesome cars, I perfer something like a Ferrari 360, a Corvette Z06, Ferrari 575, etc. Fast, but not too fast.
Graphics are amazing, definatly the best looking racer, probally about the same as SegaGT2002 (both look amazing), no slowdowns, and the track and cars are graphically amazing.
Sounds is pretty good, I really didn't pay too much attention to it, but the soundtrack is awesome. Great bands like Simple Plan, Trapt, TrustCompany, Glassjaw, The Used, and more. Much better than GT3's horrible soundtrack.
Overall, I havn't been this hyped up about an Xbox game since KOTOR, and I already put more time in PGR2 within 5 days than I have with KOTOR since I got it when it came out. I'm totally addicted, I think it is my favorite Xbox game, and it definatly my favorite Live game. I never had so much fun playing online, IMO, this is the best racer to date. While GT3 is a better simulation, this is just a better (and more fun) racer! I just can't stop recommending this game to anyone who owns an Xbox.
