Project Gotham Racing 2 is the ultimate test of racing skill, style, and daring that rewards you not only for how fast you drive, but also for how you drive fast. Earn Kudos and gain recognition for cornering on two wheels around the Sears Tower in Chicago; power sliding through the ancient streets of Florence, Italy; or maneuvering along the racing line through the slick streets of Edinburgh, Scotland-all while racing some of the most exotic high-performance vehicles available. Challenge other gamers online, utilizing Xbox Live, or take on your friends in a multiplayer race via System Link.

Cheats

Pick Any Car (Online Only)
First, you need two controllers. On the Car Select screen, have the first player highlight a car and press B. Then, have the second player highlight a car that's already available. While the car is highlighted by the second player, have the first player press A. It should give the second player the car that was highlighted by the first player. You can do this on both controllers. You just have to do the same process, starting with the opposite controller. (This only works when a single car class is selected.)

Easter Egg: Geometry Wars
First, go to the Kudos World Challenge. From there, go to the Car Select screen. Then, go to your garage. Once in your garage, press Y to walk around freely. Walk over the arcade machine and press A. This will allow you to play the arcade game Geometry Wars, which was created just for Project Gotham Racing 2.


Tips and tricks:

Here are some other pointers that will help you master all the tracks and challenges:

1) Good things go great together! Your Kudos will mount even quicker if you manage to link two or more moves together. So, for instance, the Kudos that you receive for power-sliding around a corner will be even greater if you also manage to pop up on two wheels in the process; if you cap that by also taking a good line through the turn, your Kudos is magnified all the more!

2) The better you know the track, the faster you'll drive. Part of driving well is knowing where you're going. Is that next turn 80 degrees or 90? What's the best entry speed?

3) What are the best braking and acceleration points? A slow drive around the track may help.

4) Sometimes, you have to go slow to go fast. Winning is more than having the pedal to the metal all the time. If your high-entry speed is causing you to carom off the guardrails on a particular turn, you may have to slow down sooner.

5) Watch the fast guys! At the higher levels, the CPU players will find and use the fastest lines around the track. Observe where they're lined up, when they brake, and when they get back on the gas. Once you find the fast line, try to use it every circuit. For higher-level instruction, sign on to Xbox Live and download a ghost-a translucent representation of the way another player navigated the course. This is a cool way to race against the best players in the world and learn their tricks.

"I believe I can fly!". That can be said about these cars, too and you're about to witness one of the most weird bugs ever:
