Piece of crap

This game is a piece of s**t. The other cars drive perfectly, except in curves, and recover instantly if they spin. If they hit YOU, you spin into a wall or turn backwards as they wizz by. It takes forever to turn back around. Your only hope is to pass as many cars as quickly as you can and hope that no one hits you from the back (and instantly spins you). This game is for hyperactive 12 year olds and is crap to anyone older.

re: Piece of crap

It's called realism.

This game is the best racing game and it's not Bizarre's fault your a lousy driver.

Real nice and mature . . . perhaps you need to spend a bit more time in practice mode and then come back when you've gotten good . . .you have to learn the games tricks before you dis it

Not sure where you have driven in real life, But physics usually takes affect in a collision and both cars get affected. As in not just you spinning out, but also the other car you hit.

I wouldn't say the game is a piece of crap, but this same problem bugged me from PG1 and now remains the same in PG2.

re: Piece of crap

Piece of Crap? NO. Best Racer yet? Yes
In the action of a Car running into the back of an other car. the one getting hit will not be effected as much as the back car. they did this so people online would have to drive around me not just run into the back of me.

re: Piece of crap

Bean bandit is right, both cars get affected Paynie. But calling this game a peice of crap...thats wrong. Calling it the best racing game on xbox, an understatement.

The game is realistic, but they make the A.i hard so you can get better, and so the game lasts longer. You have to have excellent timing to get High Kudos points, and to pay no attention to the other drivers.

If you want a game where you dont spin out, try mario kart. You can avoid them!

Id just like to say Ive never span out as much as Mario Kart DD!

It makes a change to see A.I. not driving in one identical line, it really adds to the experience battling on the corners.
As for hitting cars and spinning out (try a different car with better handling!) surely the idea is NOT to hit the other cars - you cant drive like GT3 on this one !

re: Piece of crap

I disagree, I've hit other cars and seen em spin out - hell, I used that as my tactic for one of the One on One races!

PGR2 is a great game, you just gotta practise at it - I'm no good at driving games, but I keep trying... I'll get there eventually!

re: Piece of crap

True,
I have noticed that I am becoming more of a dirty driver using similar tactics devilchild (to get those cheeky platinum medals) - the old cop tricks work a charm !

'Dirty driving' Its going to be the start of some arguments online I bet

re: Piece of crap

PGR 2 is great and personally i think the AI oppenents are alot better than other racing games, but nothing beats taking on people online, that alone makes this game one of the best racing games.

re: Piece of crap

PGR2 is no where near a piece of crap, your ignorance and lack of true gaming skill disgusts me, as a gamer, this is by far the best Racing game that I have ever played and is the #1 Racing game on the Big Black Box, it takes prcatice, skill, and patience but it all pays off when you rack up them Kudos to buy you a some new cars, it is amazing, the graphics, are stunning, this game is a game that anyone should have...

I think the point was clearly made,
This guy is just some newb, who doesn't know what he's doing. He simply stated this game sucked, but really he did. It's very Childish if you ask me. ...

This game takes a lot of getting used to, unlike other racing games where driving as fast as possible whilst scraping the wall will generally win you the race, this one requires you to drive extremely well. The physics of it are different to most racing games, as a lot more effort has been put into the realism. I've been playing it since its first release as Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast, so I've been able to get straight into PGR2 & advance quite far.

As for the other cars spinning out & regaining control very quickly, its because they know how to regain control. Its a skill that is very handy to learn, I can be rammed/lose control on a corner & regain control with minimum loss of speed now, vital for when I mess it up

Just keep at it, and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

Who can resist giving them a shunt from the side on the backend of their car as they take a wide corner But here again, it is vital to be able to control your car well. After you've shunted them you'll be flying off to the left/right at great speed...

re: Piece of crap

Im new to this game, I prefer sim type games(except toca 3-uugghhh), more to arcade type, but I saw this at Best Buy for 12 buck and figured w.t.h.. the graphics are great, the whole showroom thing is cool, and i really like how you can slide the cars. The only thing i dont like is the ai, on some levels it feels like im playing burnout,the way they try to smash you into the wall, and I REALLY find it intersting how I can be driving the best car in the class, and the lowest car in the class can accelerate/corner/flat out go better than me on expert level, but its still a fun game that i think ill play for a bit.
To say it sucks without trying to learn it first is really immature and shhhhtupid, if you dont like the game, return it, or next time rent it first to see if its your thing.
Its NOWHERE near games like Forza/GT4, but its not meant to be--this is a fun, silly game to be enjoyed, dont take it so seriously.

re: Piece of crap

ok, ive been playing this game for a bit now, couple of weeks, and im starting to get into the harder levels, and i havent thrown a controller in a while, but this game made me throw.
wtf is up with this ai? its more rubberbanding than the ai in forza--at least in that game its somewhat realisitc--when the hell can a camaro (craparo) catch, and pass, and pull away from, a skyline or viper or cobra 427? this game is supposed to be realistic? what a pos. i guess when it came out and it had no competition, it was ok, but wow what a stinker.
what really pisses me off is that i paid 25 bucks a week before it went to 12 all over town.
even need for speed series is better than this dregg.
