60 Second Review of…
Project Gotham Racing (Xbox)
Tom's review: I only have this because I had to get
a third game with my Xbox bundle and Fusion Frenzy looked too much
like something you wouldn't play unless you bought a third and fourth
controller, and even then your friends would only play it to humor
you. Imagine my relief at finding out Project Gotham Racing has
nothing to do with Batman. Imagine my ennui at finding out it seems,
at first, like a poor man's Gran Turismo. Imagine my surprise at
finding out its got a coy charm all its own: you have to unlock
most of the game by accomplishing various challenges. It looks great
and, best of all, the cars feel weighty. If it ultimately feels
a bit lifeless, at least there's a great variety of cars, challenges,
and tracks.
