pgr2 is tight, I have it It's hard but you get it down Im still a begginer but I will only say this once everything about gt3 (and cant wait for gt4) is the BEST!! Graphics everything GT4 , but pgr2 is the next best game out there!

I've played PGR2 briefly. I love it. Graphics, car selection, physics, etc, etc, etc.
The only thing I'm not too sure about (I need to play it a bit more) is that there is no real sensation of speed. Example: I was driving the Zonda in a city, I exit one corner at 30mph, hit the brakes at the end of the straight at 150mph, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two speeds.

I still think it's a great game though.

SFD, as far as I know, nothing has been released as far as I know for the downloadable stuff. There are supposed lists, but none of it is confirmed. The first batch is supposed to come out Jan 1, we will have to wait and see if it actually happens though.

as the cars start to get faster u will have to contend with differences in the handling....it will change u just have to go faster..the breaks with lock and the car will slide into a wall if u don't either corner just right or pulse the brakes

the car will also be easier to upset when u are going faster..as in a quick left with a counter right onto heavy braking will send the car around or into a nasty slide

this one is definitely much harder to drive and control then PGR1 u have to be more subtle with the brakes and feather the gas to keep perfect momentum where as in the first one u could just nail the brakes and slam the gas to a point

Nice review.

I agree about the Ferrari's. When I first started walking around the showroom, and I saw that the Ferrari showroom was down the hall, I "sprinted" down the hall. Good Lord, what a selection. I had to drive each available one.

Gripe 1 about the game, since I did drive one after the other, I wish the test track was a little more varied. There's only one left hand turn, and most of the turns are large radius sweepers.

Gripe 2 about the game, I wish you could set up solo races on any track with any series of cars.

I'm not going to debate GT3 vs. PGR2. But how about we just combine the games. Choose the arcade mode in and get PGR2, or choose the sim mode and get GT3.

No way is PGR2 a GT3 beater.

For enjoying a computerized drive there is still no console experience that comes close to the PS2/GT3/Momo Force feedback steering wheel event.

PGR2 is a close arcade 2nd - but the level of tweaking and tuning and replayability of GT3 beats PGR2 hands down.

I completed PGR2 - and it is still on the shelf were I left it a month ago.

GT4 cannot happen quick enough.
