Is Project Gotham Racing for XBox at $29.99 a must have?

I like racing games, and have never played this one yet. I saw someone playing it once at the local EB and it looked cool enough. And Best Buy has it on sale this week for $29.99

Looking for some thoughts from people that have had their xbox longer then a few weeks.

On an unrelated topic... Let me just state that I hate the flood.

Halo was awesome until the flood showed up...

It still is awesome.. I just hate hearing those creepy sounds of things moving in the distance, and those little things remind me of the alien face sucking things, and don't get me started on the exploding things.

Outstanding game.

Just don't rush off to buy it just because you see it for $29.99. That should now be its regular price everywhere, although retailers that move at glacial speed on software price drops (I'm looking right at you, Toys R Us) will probably still have it at its original $49.99 price.

As you can see, Circuit City is the place to buy it at the moment.

I think PGR might be the most overlooked game on the xbox. Lots of tracks, cars, challenges. I like this game better then ralisport, and I didn't thinlk that wqould be possible

I've played PGR more than any other game I have, which includes Halo, Sega GT, DOA3, NFL Fever 2002, Jet Set Radio, and a few others.

I just got Sega GT 2002 and has about 125 different cars which can all eventually be unlocked.

Playing the career mode you start out with $13,000 and can't buy much, got the Peugot 206 for $13,000 and after winning a couple of events got the better tires, wheels, handling and turbo, now I am competing and winning money. Then you need to sell cars that you get and buy a Acura Integra which has good hp for the game. So far so good.

Being a previous Mustang owner I though that car sucked in this game, camero was all over it! as in real life also!

The european car manufacturers are available including the EVO and Nissan Skyline.

Well worth the money if you don't already have a driving game.

Price match it at Best Buy for the extra dollar off

I've been waiting since I got my box for this game. At $20, it's hard to ignore.

I bought this Nov 15, 2001 and still play it every now and then. Well worth the $45 I dropped on it on release day, and at $20 it's a steal.

Thanks for the heads up! I picked up a copy last night. I've been waiting for a sale on this one for a while.

I just picked this up today after work and played it non-stop for a couple of hours. I've never been a big car racing game fan, but I must say I've had alot of fun with it so far....well worth the $20 I spent on it.
