Did anyone else have a ridiculous amount of trouble with the Classic Hot Rod race? I think it too me about 28 tried to get the damn thing. grrr!

I picked up the XBox version and wasn't really all that impressed, it was sure fun, but only for a little while and then I got incredibly bored.

The game is probably good it's just that PGR2 for me makes every other racing game look like steaming shizzer.

Mind you, I felt the same way about the last super-hyped console game, Spiderman 2.

I think I'm slowly turning into a Gaming Arsehole.

I played Burnout 2 and thought it was heaps of fun...just sitting there with my cousin, some things in the game are juts like "whoa thats really coool....wait no! THAT's really cool!..."

burnout 3 rules! I had lost interest in most racing games, because they try to be so "realistic" and you end up having to be a perfectionist to get anywhere. finally a game rewards your recklessness, but pushes the difficulty in an entertaining fashion.

I've been playing a shitlode alongside Lasereth and BlueMax, and I gotta say this game is incredibly fun. Probably one of the easiest to pick up and play games since SSX Tricky.

I dont like how it's like driving a slot car.... You just accelerate and as long as you're not like perpendicular to the wall, you'll be fine O_o

It's still fun though.

I wouldn't say that, I always have trouble while crashing into the wall at the slightest things.

Burnout 3 is cool, though some of the races have me trying over and over again (for a gold medal) for almost two-hours! This has happened about four or five times for me, and I'm just about half-way through the game. It's extreme!

*sigh* this game isn't available for PC right?

darn.. gotta get a ps2 or xbox :P

I noticed yesterday when i was playing it that I was in Road Rage and me and 2 other drivers(comp) where all up against the wall and then boom we all exploded....I was WTF was that...it said I crashed but I hit nothing...that was wierd!

Yeah, that happens sometimes.

I find the time trials to be the most difficult, primarily because when you are racing other cars, crashes don't result in a loss. In time trial, if you crash, you pretty much have no shot at gold.

So you have to drive both fast and safely, and that can be difficult, but also fun.. Until it gets frustrating. :)

Ya, those damned burning lap or preview lap or whatever they're called.
Any mistakes, and you miss the time for gold and have to start over.

Only really frustrating thing besides those races is on Eliminator races when you're in first place the first four laps, but then magically you get in one crash and the other guy takes off and you can never catch him again!
Grrr

My roommate beat it with a gold medal in all 175 races in 3 days. He didn't do much else for those three days. :) I'm at probably 60% gold medals...I'll be fully complete soon.

Ya It's kinda like racing that Classic Hot Rod, what a piece of crap.


Now I can't get past the Indy Car GP :hmm:
