Following an evening on Wednesday where John, Kieron and I met up online to kill each other in Halo 3, race around in PGR4, and find orbs with each other in Crackdown 2, I decided to see where I was in the various modes in PGR4. A fair way in, it seems.
Back in 2008, I got frustrated that I had to play some levels with bikes. I got past those at some point and when I started last night I was up to the eighth of ten sets of arcade challenges, with a variety of platinum, gold and silver medals. I managed to complete each of the remaining challenges in set eight on my first go, so was feeling confident moving on to set nine.
Suddenly I couldn't use a nice controllable car - oh no. Big powerful slippy monsters of cars that don't actually go where you want them to; coupled with elimination events where a single mistake can mean that you're never going to survive to the end. It took many attempts, but I finally passed them ... to be confronted with a race around the Nürburgring. Hmm.
Still, the game remains ace, and there's also the career mode to explore, which I have obviously played some of before. It may stay in the Xbox 360 drive for a while.
