Thanks for your reply. What product(s) do I need to go wireless?

a wifi router + wifi bridge

Something I found with my cable modem is that the feed actually comes in on any cable drop in my house so I can move the modem around. Might want to give it a try I tried it after the my outside cable modem drop got cut during some yard work.

Finally got my copy today from ebgames. If anyone wants to play tonight and see's me online, send an invite.

I will be getting my copy today also

Got mine last night and spent about 3 hours going through the single player challenges. I tried a game online but since I hadn't bough tany cars yet I got smoked.

The delivery was surprisingly fast. Kudos to EB's $1.99 (or free) delivery service

I haven't bought any new cars either and I do well enough online.. just look for a match that only plays within a specific class, that way the races will be evened out. It's not important how many cars you've bought for the most part, just that you're racing against the same type.

Wow this game ROCKS so far! I only have one complaint, it seems that the custom soundtrack doesnt randomize the playlist..it just goes basically in order. That kind of sucks.

Coo' coo'.. I may be getting on in a few hours all you newcomers please add me: Pixy Junket

You can manually adjust the playorder when you adjust the custom soundtrack. It's a real pain if you have a lot of songs though.

Yeah I have over 300 songs so it would probably take a while (too bad there isnt an auto shuffle built into xbox dash). It isnt that big of a deal in PGR2 since it does skip random tracks, so instead of going 1,2,3,...99 it goes like 1, 8, 12, 15,....99.

I've been meaning to get this game, but I have a few quick questions about it before I spend $50 on it. How is the difficulty level compared to Project Gotham Racing? The first game was addicting and amazingly fun, but also amazingly hard. I was discouraged easily in the first game, and it became more frustrating than fun. Am I looking at the same thing in PGR2?

I will probably only be playing PGR2 online for a month or so, and then I will revert to the single-player (as well as "local" multiplayer every once in a while) portion of the game. Do you feel it will be worth it just for the single-player?

So basically I'm asking three quick questions:

1. How is the difficulty compared to PGR?
2. How are the single player and "local multiplayer", meaning, non-Xbox Live portions of the game?
3. What's the cheapest place to get it from? (I think Wal-Mart or Circuit City is selling it for $40 on Black Friday, and I think that'll be the best price, but if anyone knows a cheaper place, please reply)

Thanks in advance!

I got mine today also, I won't be able to play until tomorrow though

I was 'walking' around in gallery mode and I noticed an Xbox Live Gallery section, so I am guessing they are going to have downloadable cars! That is going to be sweet!

edit: It is actually 3 galleries in total, probably could hold about 20 different cars.

My copy arrived today and this game is a crapload of fun. Also, custom soundtracks are godly.

I have been meaning to ask...What is everyones online racing etiquette like? I haven't played online yet, but offline I usually just plow through guys (especially on the SUV races). I realize I probably shouldn't do that when playing against actual people?

I have a feeling I will suck at this game. Me+racing games=not very good

Flashburn - it depends on the other racers in the game. There's always going to be some rubbing when racing. But if it's pretty obvious if you're using them as a bumper in a turn, they'll start to bitch and moan. Some host will boot you out.

Just mow them all down. Plow through them like there is no tomorrow.

Bleh, I just tried this game, and after smashing into the wall on every turn, I have discovered that I do indeed suck ass at racing games. So with that being said, I will probably be getting rid of this game. Like I said before me+racing=no good.

in oxm,(so take it for what it is worth) they said that there will be DLC of cities from the first pgr and a WHOLE new car class

You should really give it more of a chance, it is one of the best racing games I have ever played.

Damnit guys we need to get some races going with guys here. Seems like scheduling never works though...
