Make sure PGR is PGR and Forza is Forza.So here’s my list, dear diary, the list of things I’d like to see different, new or revisited the next time a version of PGR hits the videogame road. So why the hell-bent attitude to focus so much on Live? It should be a treat to those who have it, not a gameplay-feature black hole for those who don’t. But still, how many people actually play online regularly? Wasn’t the subscription rate somewhere around five percent for the first-generation Xbox? I doubt it’s much higher now. Sure, I understand that Xbox Live (Silver) is now free to the world, and yes, I understand about the need to play to your strong suit (online functionality). I have a feeling it’s a sign of Microsoft focusing so much on Xbox Live, which is a bit disconcerting.

Somewhere between the second and third game, the PGR series lost its way. I’ve got some ideas, sure, but PGR3 is such a different game from PGR2 ( remember my retrospective?) that I’m at a bit of a loss as to what to say. Part of it’s just a lack of time, since I’m still trying to un-bury myself from the 18 games of the Xbox 360 launch, but another part is simply because I’m not sure what to write. I haven’t written my Project Gotham Racing 3 review yet, which makes me naughty, I know, but it’s past Christmas, and I hear Santa quits taking notes after December 23, so I think I’m in the clear.
