You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Interesting how the loading screen shows the Controller S instead of the Duke, since the S model was only available in Japan at launch. I'm guessing they must have changed the image for the greatest hits re-release because the S was the standard Xbox controller by that point.
PGR3 was gaming bliss. I put so many hours into that. I used to use the 360's play your own music feature, put on a few albums and just race online for hours on end.
You gotta admire the small details in video games like this. If you choose American license plates, almost all the cars are LHD, but if you pick London or Japan license plate, almost all the cars have RHD.
Man it's criminal Xbox One/Series X backward compatibility never got a single Project Gotham Racing game. This game in particular is what I wanted because I played it back in the day and I have such fond memories of it
I remember this game. I had lots of fun powersliding around through cones. I especially love the soundtrack, with a lot of techno Electronica and rock. I think I remember hearing Saliva's Click Click Boom, which was also in Test Drive 2002.
Hanamaru Kunikida I keep waiting for him to review that Test Drive game. Given the number of racing reviews on this channel, I hope it happens eventually.
Oh God I just completed Test Drive 2002 for the first time recently. Such a jank game, but I love how much it oozes 2000s music and the later stages got pretty intense. I had fun with it
One cool thing that not a lot of people know about in this game, if you use the cinematic camera and angle the car to where you can see behind the wheels, you can see the brake calipers engage to the rotor...wicked cool detail.
Can't wait for you to play PGR2, i remember the showroom part the most where you could walk around this showroom building and test drive all of the cars.
Loved MSR back in the day. Cars had minor customisation, like tinted windows and paint jobs, and it was quite possibly one of the first games ever to give you customisable registration plates!
So I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and I have to say, I really enjoy these retro game reviews. It really brings back nostalgia and also gives me an idea on games that I missed. That being said, I REALLY hope to see you review Racedriver Grid. Probably my favorite racing game. Keep up the good work!
I bought an Xbox recently mainly to play this. (well among other things as well) but man, this game is such a step up from MSR. It's very fun and easy to play. It starts you right out as well. It's so refreshing compared to modern racing titles now.
I remember playing PGR 4, it's such a great game and probably little too forgotten after all these years. I can't wait to see your review of this title
Man what a weird coincidence! Since around Christmas, you've happened to cover three games I picked up during that time, Forza Motorsport, NFS Carbon and now Project Gotham Racing! I guess it's because I bought myself an original Xbox as my Christmas present so there you go. You really go into a lot of depth with your reviews and it's cool to see someone analysing these classic racing games, as not really any other channels do. As another racing game fan from Australia, I salute you.
Two things a really loved about this game. You can just drive around open world without restriction and you could load your own MP3's through the radio. Have good memories of blasting round Tokyo playing Voodoo People.
To me, the way kudos were handled in the original PGR is what should be the standard in not just racing games, but video games as a whole. Without being a blatant " fuck you " to the player, the difficulty curve should make you go take advantage of all the mechanics and reward you for doing it. There is nothing more entertaining in a video game than when experienced players are pitted against eachother and makes the game very intense.
I'm a massive fan of the PGR series (+MSR). The gameplay format turns what would have been a good (but forgettable) driving game into one of the most fun, replayable racers I can remember. There's something so rewarding about showing off your driving skills as well as speed, and the handling model matches the intentions of the game perfectly. I've also got to give a shout out to the graphics - all the games looked amazing for the time and still don't look too bad, they've definitely aged a lot better than other 6th Gen games (looking at you, NFS:MW). If I was to pick my favourite from the series it would have to be either PGR2 or 3, but they're all brilliant. PGR4 added bikes and a load more classic cars but it took away some cool features from 3 and (to me) it kinda felt like it took itself a little more seriously than the rest. I'd also really encourage you to give Blur (2010) a go. It was Bizarre Creations' first and last game for Activision, after which they closed and a lot of the team now work on the Forza Horizon games. It was kind of a commercial flop (because Activion _bizarrely_ released it in May) but it was the perfect crossover between PGR and Mario Kart. As weird as that sounds it's definitely worth a go.
Boy are you in for a damn treat when you get around to playing Project Gotham Racing 2. That game is a straight up masterpiece of arcade racing. The soundtrack is amazing, there's more locations and they're highly detailed, and the variety of events, tracks and cars is truly impressive. I've completed it and re-completed it several times over the years and it's something I just keep coming back to. I never have been able to fully complete the Kudos World Series on Platinum difficulty, but one day I'll get there. Unfortunately it's difficult to play the multiplayer these days, but back in the day on Xbox Live it was incredibly enjoyable, and there were DLC packs available for it too that added new cars and tracks. I believe PGR2 also suffers from slow-down on the Xbox 360. I personally have a soft-modded original Xbox that I use and while the game tends to look a bit soft in the 480i widescreen mode, having access to 480p cleans it up a little bit (my console is a PAL console that I've flashed to the NTSC EEPROM to get higher resolution options and 60 Hz). The music tracks probably mean these games won't come to backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, but I'd love it if they did. Playing these at 1080p/60 would be exceptional, along with games like RalliSport Challenge 2, OutRun 2006 and Need For Speed Underground 2.
I live inside your house I remember being in my junior year of HS sitting in class, a friend in front of me sneaked out a game magazine as the teacher bored us, and as i peeked around over his shoulder i see an article or i think an ad for Mercenaries. I said to him "woaah hold on let me see that" and after reading about it i fell in love on the spot. After picking it on day one, that love cemented itself more. A completely underrated game, more so that its' sequel wasn't up to par. It was easily one of my personal favorites on the PS2.
@@pedrochevez2090 Mercenaries PoD is probably one of my top 10 favorite games of all time! Too many modern open world/3rd person shooter games rely on boring cover systems, Mercenaries encouraged a great run-n-gun style with it's extra slow projectiles, made you feel like Neo in the Matrix dodging fire.
when he made the statement about how it's like NFS but without the flashy effects NFS itself has, I realize this game to me looks and seems like a game that looks very similar to the Gran Turismo series, but plays like NFS itself. A very interesting combo I must say
What does MSR stand for?? I hate when people do this all the time now a days you can’t expect everyone to know what your talking about so now I have to ask..
I prefer this PGR over it's successor, it was such a chore to play that I went back to the first game, still an awesome game, but Rallisport 2 was and still is the pinnacle of Xbox racing games.
This game was great. I had like 2 racing games, RallySport Challenge, and this game. The controls were tight, driving is smooth, and the graphics were amazing, it makes you feel like you are driving these exotic cars in a city that is very real.
I started gaming around 5 which consisted mostly watching my badass aunts shred nes games. Zelda, Tetris, Mike Tyson punchout, star tropics, and Mario was some of my fav gaming moments ever. Watching my aunt crush Wizards and Dragons was a treat, So I guess I was trying to point out how strange it is to watch a review by someone who was a young kid on release date. I feel like an old 35 yr old now!
That idea earning kudos later was used in World Racing 2 game You earn extra credits if you -Power slides(Drift) -Overtake CPU opponets(Overtake) -Jump high and land on 4 wheels(Jump) -Drive on 2 wheels(2 wheels) If you make tricks two or more in row they go multiply. But you can lose them if you -Damage your car(Driving error) -Blew a tyres(Blown tyre) -Crash into CPU Opponets(No fair) -Make Shortcuts(Shortcut)
One thing these games always had was the ability to shift even in automatic mode. Basically I always used this to win as shifting for yourself was better than letting the game do it.
Wow. I haven't played this or its sequel since high school. I have a very vague memory of this game, as I didn't play it a whole lot and it was one of the first Xbox games I had ever bought.
I loved PGR. It was something different from e rest of the pack, and just what Xbox needed to be different to announce Xbox's arrival. absolutely loved the theme tune too! That pulsing bassline!
@@revolverocelot3741 he hasn't? He's reviewed 2 out of the 7 motorsports games and none of the horizon games. I'd love to see the same attention he's given to the gran turismo series to forza. Mostly cause I like his opinions on them.
Wow the game has aged much better than I thought it would have! I remember sleep overs at my buddies house, him passed out and me sitting there retrying over and over until 7am for those gold medals on the hardest settings, "I .. CAN.. DO.. THIS.." =D
I remember I played project gothem as a demo at was use to be a sears. Man it was something so smooth and fresh at the time. I wanted an Xbox so bad but was to broke. I was 7 or 8 at the time
Great review & i loved this series. 2 & 4 were the best. MSR, 1 & 3 felt like the same game updated but still good. Don't think i've heard metropolis pronounced like that before lol
PGR4 was my favourite game as a kid. i just had the demo on my xbox 360 and it’s one of my earliest memories, one birthday my grandma got me the full game and it was the first game i beat. Nowadays i prefer gran turismo but ill always live PGR.
Your reviews have become my favourite part of a long workday! Btw you really should review the Burnout and Flatout series, would love to hear your opinion about those classics
I grew up playing Pgr2 and I love it, I never owned the first one and this is the first time I've actually seen it. Pgr1 looks ok but not really interesting outside of the box art w one of my favorite cars 😁
I only played 3 and 4, since I never owned an original Xbox, nor did I know at the time they were backwards compatible with the 360. Still, it would be nice if they were backwards compatible with the Xbox One or even the next Xbox console whenever it comes out. The closest we have to a PGR type game these days is DriveClub on the PS4, which is a pretty good game despite a disappointing launch, but it isn't really street racing. Still better than nothing though!
love your reviews I am always willing to support a small ambitious you tuber. On another note I think you should look at the burnout series specifically burnout 3 take down
I always preferred this to it's sequels,felt like it had more variety with the track surfaces like on some of the London tracks it had gravel and normal road surfaces,or san fran Cisco you would have really tight corners after drving up or down a verticle hill.Also lots of handbrake turning around tight corners.Lots of fun to play if you stick with it.
PGR 1 is my favorite game in the series because of nostalgia and the sense of progression. The later games are good but helped start the trend of getting a hypercar in the first couple hours, which I really dislike. Unfortunately my original Xbox broke and this game runs at half speed on the 360
I suppose they chose Gotham because Batman and Superman reside in the same universe, Batman/Bruce Wayne lives in Gotham, Superman/Clark Kent lives in Metropolis.
I played the heck out of this game. I think I earned somewhere around 280k-290k kudos in total, I believe... Also, if you can pass the entire career mode without a single bronze medal, you unlock a hidden 13th round, where all you do is street races against F50's and Carrera GT's. Ever wondered why those two cars never appeared as the opponents anywhere in the game? Well, there's why.
Metropolis street racer: Metropolis is the city in Superman Project Gotham Racing: Gotham is the city in Batman Quite an easy tell that they were made by the same studio ;)
I love how Forza Horizon 4 payed homage to PGR and you have a mission where you need to get as many Kudos as possible in Edinburgh.
On a track based off of the one from pgr2
They need to get playground to make a PGR5.
The Edinburgh tracks were my fave

Even a standard Xbox would show 50,000+ blocks free, if you hadn't filled the HDD up with too much.
I like the Kudos system, it's a nice chance of pace from just hitting first place.
Which has been copied by almost every single racing game later (NFS UG1&2, Street Racing Syndicate, even Bizarre's own Blur)

Wow, this is one of the few games that looks as good as I remember. Usually these old games look like shit when you go back and check them out.
Test Drive on PS2 was great. This however it more likey advanced at its own time. Still looks perfect wise into today's gaming graphics.

My uncle jose always told me when we were racing, “slower is faster”.
I suppose they chose Gotham because Batman and Superman reside in the same universe, Batman/Bruce Wayne lives in Gotham, Superman/Clark Kent lives in Metropolis.
I played the heck out of this game. I think I earned somewhere around 280k-290k kudos in total, I believe... Also, if you can pass the entire career mode without a single bronze medal, you unlock a hidden 13th round, where all you do is street races against F50's and Carrera GT's. Ever wondered why those two cars never appeared as the opponents anywhere in the game? Well, there's why.
This game was a refreshing change from the need for speed suckiness that dominated consoles at the time.
My mate had this the day it came out and the graphics blew me away!
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS OMFG
Hey ColorShed, you could consider doing a review of the classic Saints Row games....specifically Saints Row 1 and Saints Row 2
PGR 2 is the best in the series in my opinion, the right difficulty balance and amazing tracks and cars.
PGR 2 next! The best in the series.
I’ve only played PGR3 and 4, haven’t played PGR1 and 2 before
Your missing out, they're way better than those in my opinion (:
PGR2 was my favorite as a kid
@@Adam-zi5se definitely, same!
PGR1 is nothing special. PGR2 though is amazing
PGR2 is amazing you need to try it
man I absolutely loved this series so sad there was no pgr5
It was a rerelease of the Dreamcast game Metropolis Street Racer.
Metropolis street racer: Metropolis is the city in Superman
Project Gotham Racing: Gotham is the city in Batman
Quite an easy tell that they were made by the same studio ;)
You should review Driver San Francisco, the most underestimated racing game in my opinion.
It also says 50000+ blocks available on original Xbox both in the game and in the Xbox dashboard
