Is it still worth playing?
A racing game from Bizarre Creations released as a launch title for the Xbox on November 15, 2001, the first of the Project Gotham Racing series and the spiritual successor to Metropolis Street Racer. Its Kudos system gives points for stunts with the vehicle, such as power sliding, overtaking another driver or driving on two wheels, and the longer a stunt is maintained, the more points you receive. Colliding with guard rails or other surroundings makes you lose the Kudos points from that stunt. Each cover of the series features a Ferrari, and the first one the F50. Points for style as well as speed still turn each lap into a performance.
