    Using a trick based system that rewards slides, two-wheeled skids and perfect runs, the player must earn points for the above while still riding the line and achieving exceptional lap times. At first this technique seems fresh, but after a few incredibly disappointing runs down the later tracks you'll find it more frustrating than satisfying.

    Speaking of the A.I., this is where my biggest gripe with the game lies...The control is overall a bit slippery at times, even when using a 4WD car with a high Handling rating. That is a bad combo usually, and drove me crazy on several opportunities.

One of the first projects I met as an Xbox Original. Yes, after 20 years, the game is hardly anything, it can attract a player. Project Gotham Racing is outdated both technically and gameplay. The level of complexity is of course difficult to call average by the standards of modern games of the genre. There is no full-fledged campaign here, which is disappointing. All gameplay in the game is reduced to the accumulation of Kudos points. For 2001, the game has excellent graphics, despite the fact that the game was originally designed for Dreamcast.… Full Review »
