PGR2 and I am sure PGR3 are about online play.

Afterall, you can't drift your F50GT and talk smack with your buddies while opposite lock hand-over-hand steering a force-feedback steering wheel..

PGR2 was fun with oline players who weren't jerks and jackasses.

Maybe I'll keep my pre-owned copy of PGR2 for now then, if you boys still play it online from time to time.

Im with you both on this. I found the graphics disappointing, and more importantly the gameplay itself 'dumbed down'. The cars seem to glide on the road and aren't very sensitive to inputs. I didn't like the way they behaved at all. Very, very disappointed.

I have PGR 1 and PGR2 on the old Xbox and find that the physics are best on the original version. PGR 2 is too arcadey compared to the first. I also bought Forza and returned it the next day because i thought the physics were appalling.
