Well. I didn’t think that would come about so soon. OK, so most of the trophies I’ve won are bronze, and the rest are silver, but the fact remains I’ve completed all of the Career Mode events. Already. Oh well. It was fun, at least. Some of the later Nurburgring events were a bit of a chore, what with them being so bloody long! One was a race on the entire ‘Ring, which took a good seven minutes or so. …
A bit more play on this, including some online matches. There weren’t a lot of people online playing, and I didn’t do so well when I raced either, but it was lag-free and pretty good fun anyway. Back offline, and I’m up to Rank 8 now, have a couple of cheap Ferraris, and have about 14 of the trophies won. Most are bronze, one is silver, and one is steel.
Still on the look out for more achievements, but I think it’s going to be a bit of a long haul for this game. I’ve set about spending all my money on Lamborghinis to get the “one million credits worth of cars” and “Lamborghini owners” achievements. Of course, I did a load of races and other events too. I’ve managed to rack up about 38,000 Kudos points now, and am on tournament 9 or 10-ish.
Even though I broke my finger opening the box for this when it arrived today, I still decided to give it a go. My first thought is “it’s not as good as PGR2“, mainly due to having all the supercars from the off. I liked having all the different classes of car to work through, but it seems stupid that you might as well just buy a fast car and that’s it. The game even seems to adjust the difficulty …
It took most of the day (when I wasn’t playing other things) to download, and I was a bit disappointed at there only being two “tracks” (both in Tokyo), but well, it is a demo. And it’s great. I played the two tracks, one was a race, and the other a timed run. Finished both with ease. It’s just like PGR2, only with nicer graphics. Not all that much nicer, though, which was a bit disappointing. It’s just like, well, …
It’s Project Gotham, only with better graphics and BIKES. I don’t know what else to say, really. It’s great, of course, and the bikes add something a little different to it, but I’m slightly concerned by the intro. It shows slips from each city in the game, and loads of them are the same cities as in previous games. In fact, some of the tracks even appear to be the same. As a result, yes – I’m going to buy …
I played through a bit pile of these today, so thought I’d bung them all into one post. Blacksite:Urgh. I don’t really like FPS games. I also don’t like squad-based shooters, and marines-vs-aliens shooters are, in my opinion, dull. So imagine my joy when I realised that Blacksite is a shad-based FPS with marines shooting aliens. I could barely contain my excitement. Colin McRae’s Dirt:Where I come from, “dirt” is a synonym for “poo”, so this game is basically called …
Hurrah! 196,000 points! or thereabouts, anyway. Not enough to unlock any more achievements though (of which I had two, not three). It just gets too hard when theres a billion things on screen all at the same time. I did manage to get the “Pacifist” achievement, though, which requires you to not shoot anything for a whole minute. Also had a go at “Retro” mode, which is supposedly the hidden game from Project Gotham Racing 2, although I never found …
