Project Gotham Racing series
- Project Gotham Racing series
"Project Gotham Racing (PGR)" is a franchise of racing video games developed by Bizarre Creations and is published by Microsoft. This series is exclusive to the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles only. This series of racing games consists of "Project Gotham Racing", "Project Gotham Racing 2", "Project Gotham Racing 3", and "Project Gotham Racing 4".
The "PGR" series have a system called Kudos points. These are given for performing stunts with the vehicle (such as power sliding, overtaking another driver, two wheels, etc). The longer you can keep it up, the more points you receive. Colliding with the guard rails and other surroundings will cause you to lose points.
"PGR2", "PGR3" and "PGR4" support gameplay via Xbox Live. The first installment in its series does not.
Each cover of the "Project Gotham Racing" franchise has featured a Ferrari on it, starting from the F50 ("PGR") to the Enzo ("PGR2") and F430 ("PGR3"), along with the 599 GTB Fiorano ("PGR4").
The "PGR" series is the successor to Bizzare Creation's Dreamcast game "Metropolis Street Racer", as evidenced by the similarities and the recycled content between the first "Project Gotham Racing" and "Metropolis Street Racer".
In September of 2007, after being bought by Activision, Bizarre Creations announced that PGR4 will be the last game produced for Microsoft [ [http://www.developmag.com/news/28531/Activision-acquires-Bizarre-Creations Activision buys Bizarre - News - www.developmag.com ] ] . The future of the franchise is uncertain.
Despite the name, this series has absolutely no relation with Gotham City, home of DC Comics superhero Batman. Although the titles in this series contain the name 'Gotham', the series is a full-fledged simulation racing game and not a game with a Batman theme.
