^ Survivor is awesome
I'm very undecided about Blur. See PGR2 was a fantastic game because the selection of the cities was amazing, there was just a ton of work and as someone who travels a lot, I really enjoyed driving around the tracks. The career mode was just a collection of varied race events, but the real star was the online racing, the awesome cities and the radio stations. All the cities felt like they fitted together and there were no repeats from PGR1.
PGR3 on the other hand was back to PGR1 cities mostly, it was centred on the populous cities around the world obviously to sell the game to more people... it was a bit disappointing because I had raced those tracks before. It would have been amazing to race around brand new cities but it would have been far too much development work. So all in all PGR3 was a bit of a disappointment.
PGR4 is a title i enjoy but also really annoyed with at the same time... what i do like about it were the brand new cities, but the old cities felt extremely tacked on... fair enough its better they were there to give more variety, but the bikes felt tacked on too, and the whole game really lost FOCUS. it was just a whole bunch of stuff cobbled together into a game. The career mode wouldn't let you restart but during any race you could pause and restart it. Bizarre?
In PGR 1 you could 'bet' the number of kudos, for example the faster your time, the higher the number of kudos you received... which really felt like you were pushing yourself the whole time and gave great replay value... you could set the difficulty in a way until you were ready to move on... and a lot less frustrating than repeatedly being 0.01 sec off a platinum.
But to blur - again the FOCUS seems a bit lost... i haven't played the game, so ill cut it some slack, but Bizarre obviously wants to stick to what its good at - cities, real cars etc. but again the weapon systems feels a bit tacked on... is this something their core PGR fans want to see?
