The Enzo is alright. Its the best car i have raced in it anyways, but its very tail happy and like an over powered go kart [makes sense i guess] but theres no TC on it so you will whellspin like mad.

The best car is certainly the Speed 12 but since you need all platinum to unlock it or a mate with a memory card who has done that already then you dont have much chance in getting it. Platinum cone challenges....no thanks.

Most people who have played the game for a while seem to race wither the GT1 or the CLK and seem to have developed a snobbery about the Enzo being bollox but i am able to give them a good race and can even win against some racers who literally have no life. I mean, rank 33 in Xbox live and i was winning on the the ring against them....well until i fucked up about 25 corners from home

haha 25 is more than most tracks altogether.

I was almost put totally of live on my first night. I joined a PGR2 game which was full of americans. A guy who sounded like 14 goes to me: "your not from america" so i respond "no shit sherlock" and this is just priceless...he then says "so what part of canada are you from?"
Luckily i have a little buddy list now, mostly scottish boys who seem to have a little more education or intelligence than that

The brits/scots whatever are a good laugh, although i think some take the racing way way to serious but thats how you get better i suppose.

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the Nurburgring. It's the only reason I wanted to get the game, and I played for three days to unlock it (no Live yet).

The physics are the best I've seen in any game so far -- not perfect, but much more simulation than arcade -- and the car selection is great. If you've got a big screen and 5.1 sound, certain cars sound very realistic.

But the Nurburgring is the big draw. I've done about a dozen laps of it so far in different cars to try and get a feel for it, and I got an 8:16 in an NSX-R (trying to beat that Best Motoring guy who did it in 7:56...no dice yet.)

I don't do video games, but I love this one.

It was extremely boring im just about to finish Supercar series, im using a Z06 Corvette black, it is raping everything but the viper, i was out infron of the viper for about 1/4 of a long straight, and the damn thing flew past me and cut me off, damn V-10s.

I could not stand it. I raced the Stang GT in it, and that thing just would not turn....It was the worst of the bunch.

gis · 01-02-2004, 11:20 PM

i used the older mustang and it just pissed me off,then i bought the new mustang and just sort of.......juddered around all the tracks,just wishing it would end soon

I didnt like the pacific muscle at all either though it sucked ass. But i really enjoyed supercar, im on the next level, I have a 575 Maranello in black.

gis · 01-02-2004, 11:41 PM

pacific muscle was ok,i liked it,it was a lot more fun if u used a better car.i used 2 cars in the whole thing,the skyline and the WRX STI,those 2 cars got me gold in every race.

blah · 01-03-2004, 12:06 AM

I used the skyline through out the hole thing, Right now im on Grand Toruning the hotlap of red sqaure god damn this series never ends. BTW the only grievance i have about the game is the sound of the Ferraris V-12s, especially the Maranello, if youve seen bad boys 2 then you know what sound im talking about. Its more of a faint noise in the game, but in real life its a beast of a sound.

Wait till GT4 comes out.

Me personaly, since I cant legaly drive, I prefer pure sims.
Gives me a bit of insight on skidding cars and playing with the physics of nature.

And yes I do agree, it is like shooting yourself in the foot by not having the most exotic Italian marques.

gis · 01-03-2004, 08:50 AM

LEO_M3 - GT4 is completely different game to PGR2,but u cant deny that PGR2 is fun,coz it is,and once u get the nurburgring,its a shit load more fun.

blah - i know what u mean about the ferrari V12,dont really sound ferrari do they,but got to admit,the 355 and 360 CS sound nice.i dont really know which series i found the best to do,maybe the track cars one,due to the 360 and the GT3,which has been everyone elses favourite series?
