Hi all,

Need for Speed:Underground comes out this Friday and Project Gotham Racing 2 next Friday.

Decisions decisions

I've read that NFS is a bit of a graphics fest but not much else, but I've got PGR 1 and had MSR on Dreamcast before that - so I fancy a change.

Anyone read any in depth reviews on either ?

Cheers

PGR2 absolutely no contest!

editted to say, sorry not an in depth review, but I've got PGR1 and PGR2 and given the quality of the previous need for speed games it won't come close to PGR2.
The only draw back I can see to PGR2 is that it might be "more of the same" if you've already played PGR1 to death. There are new features in it though (speed camera challenge etc )

I've got them both and played both.

Trust me when I say there is only one driving game for the X-Box and its Project Gotham 2.

Not sure what other people think but I think it beats GT3 on the PS2.

Yeah, the 'more of the same' is what I'm worried about.

Erm, do I ask how you have PGR 2 already ?!?

Cheers

LOL Yeah and China

Another vote for PGR2 here too. Different games really, PGR2 seems to have more substance.

Do you have to mod your xbox to play these, er, foreign versions ?

And where might someone not 'in the know' (me )acquire such foreign games ?

Go on, you know you wanna tell a fellow 'scoobynetter'
