Let the videogame disappointment continue... I got my hands on PGR2 for the first time today, and BOY do I suck at it!! I got to be pretty darn good at the original Project Gotham Racing, but something's changed since then. Although it's been a while since I've played the 1st PGR, I think it's mainly the tweaked physics (and my inability to adjust accordingly) that sends me into wall after wall (after wall).
I'm still planning on picking it up (only $20 at the MS store, so C'MON!) and hopefully I'll get better at it with some practice! Plus, the seamless integration with Xbox Live is slick and it really hints at the possible coolness of future of online console games.
