I loved PGR3, and it's still the only racing game I have for the 360, I'm now looking at Forza 2 or PGR4, both are the same price (25€), but I don't know if PGR4 has any big changes that justify its purchase or it's only the same game as PGR3 but with bikes.

Also, is Forza 2 enjoyable with only pad? I don't want to buy a steering wheel for it, also I have Gran Turismo 4 and, despite finding it enjoyable I became bored fast, I didn't even get all the licenses and my game completion must be <20% in it, is Forza similar to GT in that way? (licenses->new circuits->more creds->buy fast car...)

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

YES already

buy pgr2 first, if you can

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

PGR4 is worth a purchase. I play with the wheel though.

PGR4 is so more then "PGR3 with bikes", while you should notice that PGR4 makes a move from PGR3 and does not reach it's standards in some levels. However, it's definately purchase-worth.

But, you sould also buy Forza 2, because it's the best racing game on X360. And you shuld also reconsider Test Drive Unlimited as a must, because it's a racer like no other.

If you can realistically afford those cars it becomes more interesting.

I pretty much preffered 3 over 4. 4 was slightly dissapointing to me. But I'm not a big fan of racing games. I do love driving games, though.

 

[dchavez]

Considered getting GRiD?

Considered getting GRiD?

Nah, tried the demo but didn't like it at all, it's fun, but the driving is "strange", I liked DiRT more.

And I already played TDU on the PC, great game

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Yes!!!!

 

[faberpach]

yes, you loved pgr 3 you will love pgr 4.

 

[See]

I love it. You will love it. Everybody should love it.

 

[Sean]

Yes you should, I enjoyed PGR4 quite a bit more than PGR3. It's got all the courses of PGR3 and some new ones, bikes, weather effects, etc. There are some pretty fun/creative achievements too, including a Back to the Future throwback.

Be aware though, the online portion is pretty much a wasteland in my experience.

Matchmaking does take a while to find you a match, but once you are in, you are nearly always in a full room and the racing is fun as hell.

 

[Leonsito]

Ok guys, you win, I'll go for it

That pic is awesome btw.

 

[ZeMMiK]

Why not GRID?? I think a lot of people are jumping on that too.

 

[Mohonky]

PGR + GRID = Epic Win.

 

[Mr. Durden]

For 25€ each, you should just buy both? Jeez, it's almost like you're stealing them for that price. You're not that cheap are you?

 

[thrasher]

I played PGR3 to death online but didn't enjoy PGR4 that much. Had huggeee expectations so I just might just re-visit

 

[snacknuts]

I feel so terrible for not having purchased PGR4 yet. PGR2 was my favorite Xbox game, and PGR3 was probably the biggest draw for me in purchasing a 360 at launch. However, the whole "supercars only" thing was really disappointing and I never loved it as much as I did PGR2.

 

[Brashnir]

I played PGR3 to completion, but just couldn't get into PGR4. The bikes ruin it for me.

 

[Stop It]

Yes, PGR 4 is worth buying as it is a different experience, it is more akin to PGR2, which, if you haven't got, is well worth the price of admission too.

Also, Forza 2 is suited well to pad play, it isn't quite as good as wheel based playing but it certainly isn't unplayable, both games are well worth buying too.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

It's so cheap everywhere. Saw at RadioShack of all places for $19.99 or something.

Flatout:UC, which has nothing to do with this thread, is also a must-purchase for the 360 if you like racing games.

 

[Leonsito]

God, you're going to make me buy GRiD and Flatout too guys ? :lol

 

[a.wd]

PGR4 : Yes my god so awesome, so much better and has geo wars waves.
Forza: Yes beats the poo out of me but still so awesome
Flatout:UC: .....yes.....its (and I will appreciate the kicking I will probably get when I say this) more burnout than burnout paradise...

 

[Cahill]

God, you're going to make me buy GRiD and Flatout too guys ? :lol

A big 'Yes' on PGR4...

I also concur with the Flatout recommendation... Seriously overlooked arcade racer. The thing looks great, is challenging, chaotic, fast, fun and as a.wd said - more Burnout-like than Burnout P.

 

[Zaangamer]

Flatout:UC: .....yes.....its (and I will appreciate the kicking I will probably get when I say this) more burnout than burnout paradise...

Quoted for F'in truth !!

 

[Kolgar]

I <3 this thread.

To the OP: Yes, PGR4 and Forza 2 are both worth having. I play them concurrently because they offer different things. PGR4 is more arcade-style flash, while Forza is a great sim.

Test Drive rocks as well. And now I'm going to have to buy Flatout:UC too! :lol
