The XBOX PGR 2 thread

Hah, no reason to be embarassed..its a great game!! I have played for probably 35-40 hrs and I have unlocked the Enzo..if you really want to drive it, you can test drive it in the mueseum/showroom area. Good luck!!!

 

No i didnt fall for that article, but i knew that an xbox had to be mine just for PGR2.......and the 'ring.
Basically the only tip that i can give you is to familiarise yourself with the tracks. This takes a little time but its easy after you do that. ALOT of the races in the latter stages of the game feature on tracks that are mixtures of previous tracks you have played. So basically, you will know little sections here and there and should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.
Just go for Bronze on the races. And the most annoying ones ive found are the ones with the cones. They were the hardest for me.....
Just keep your cool and try to keep the car drifting from cone to cone.

 

I'm 26... getting a littl old for spending hours playing video games. But I do have it, I've played it well over 100 hours thus far. I've gotten pretty good, but still haven't gotten the 250 GTO yet .... It's a great game, I play it quite a bit - I play it the most of any of my xbox games (I've got over 30)

 

Yes, many many hours to get the cars you want. But it's fun getting there.
The key to winning the stages with the cones is to drive as fast as possible without ever wrecking. Sounds obvious but it took me forever to realize it. Drifting is great but if it takes time or gets you into a wreck, it ain't worth it.
When you get through the cones and keep building combo points they start to really materialize. All you have to do is go fast enough for the previous cones to get "comboed" onto the next set of cones. Do two laps like that and you get thousands of points.

I have beat the game on silver mode, but Gold is still out of my reach.
BTW the 360 CS sounds so good!

I'll post some lap times if I remember to look.

 

Had some spare time today !

Since we are Ferrari fans here, all of mine are in Ferraris.

Washington D.C. (Square Dancin') -550 Barchetta- "1:20.915"

Moscow (KGB Corner) -F355- "1:23.028"

comapared to:

Moscow (KGB Corner) -Enzo- "1:11.032" (much harder to do a clean run!)

Nurburgring -F50- "8:04.433"



How about we compete? Someone post a time and see if it stands (like mine for example). Gentlemen's rule applies (no other choice unless you want to take a picture of you TV screen).

good idea, I'll check mine and post when i get off work...

 

it took me 12 hours to win

 

I'm 35 and I don't own an X-Box...I have a PS2 and I love it!!! I've spent many hours playing Gran Turismo 3 and I never get tired of it.

Now, I'm patiently waiting for GT4 to arrive, they keep changing the release date.

Unfortunately, GT3 or GT4 do not have Ferraris in the game.

 

is that because of Ferrari being so strict on their liscensing agreements?

 

No. Because of Ferrari being so Expensive on their licensing agreements....

 

Its a great game, I play it all the time. I have the game beat on all golds and almost all platinum. My record around the Nurburgring is 6:29.

 

6:29 nice. What car did you do it in?


Have you or anyone else ever tried the game with a steering wheel. I found that it made the racing a lot more fun, but also more difficult.

 

I did it in the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 a long time ago.

 

I have also spent over 90 hours playing this game. I currently have access to any and all ferraris, plus anything above the "SUV" section of the game. I saved from buying the cheaper.... crappyer cars in order to maximize the ammount of 'cool' cars i could get. So basically, i just bought the best possible car in each segment in the Kudos World Series in order to advance, and once i unlocked the 'ultimate' section, i went on a Kudos Spending hayday.

My record for the Nurburgring is also 6:29, if you round up. 6:28.94 to be exact, in a Porsche 911 GT1.

I have also posted a 6:30.16 in a Mercedez-Benz CLK-GTR, and 6:41.56 in an Enzo.

 

I'm 43 and have about 60 hrs on it since my wife got it for xmas last year. All the cars are unlocked. I get crazy sick on it like a binge drinker and I'm due now that I think about it. Big screen w/surround sound, madcatz pedal/ steering wheel w/paddle shift, nothing better if your trapped in a cold climate part of the country. Don't know what me times are on the Ring but I will find out.

 

IMO i dont think the 'ring is 100% accurate. Actually pretty far off.
Waiting for GT4's effort. Ive heard through the grapevine that the reason for the delay was due to touch ups on the 'ring....Or they could be holding out till Xmas. I think the latter....

 

My copy of PGR2 is in the mail....

 

vroom what the hell is it doing there? but i finished the game a few times but the part which ALWAYS bores me to death is the american muscle stage, i just can't be bothered to complete it. and muira joto just try to finish each race with silver i think it is and you till get the 288 gto.

 

As far as I know, the 288 GTO is only available through Xbox Live as an expansion.

 

no, when you finish the whole game in silver (i think) you get the 288 gto.

 

LOL!

I think it's the 250 GTO, from '62. The 288 is the 85 GTO.

 

wait let me check
