My comment was more a dig at PGR, the concept of which I find distasteful, than an endorsement of the model. (I want to drive fast cars on roads/tracks than I can drive fast on, not tool around cities, trying to powerslide)
1st up, you are entitled to your opinion and I’m not arguing that.
Fortunately the game is designed for a broader range of gamers, I loved Forza and am pissing my pants at Forza2 but I also enjoyed the PGR series for what it is, an arcade racer with enough variety in cars and handling for me to be interested. And as frustrating as the Kudo's Cones sections are - it made me go back to crack at least gold on them.
As much as I love the racing sims, I’d be bored s**tless if that was the only genre of racing game to play.
Finally, I found driving an Enzo round small cities against fellow Live racers (as well as single player) either seriously entertaining or seriously challenging. Its a different style of play

ummm, lack of an alternative at the time? Hello?
and to be fair, I did say that Nurburgring online made it all worthwhile.
who said I bought PGR3, I didn't buy it, and I never said I did...its a rental.
to SCiARA:My negative reactions to the PGR series stem more from the fact that its been the flagship racing series for MS, undeservedly, and hatred for Kudos, of course. (Not that I'm bad at them, I DESTROYED PGR2, I just hate the way the concept was executed)
I had to wade through two iterations of PGR before Forza, PGR2 was an earlyish LIVE! title and PGR once again got launch title status for the 360, while Forza 2 is delayed. There are a multitude of multiplatform and platform exclusive street racers of differing flavors out there, sims, not so much. PGR and its first sequel were the only Xbox answer to Gran Turismo, for like, ever, and, with the exception of the online Nurburgring portion of PGR2, it was a poor one. I would also dispute calling PGR an "arcade" racer, though its not a simulation, its not really "arcadey" either. Its a quasi-simulation of some stripe or another.
back to hollywooda: see part where SCiARA sez I'm entitled to my opinion. Look here's a thought, quit bitchin' about me bitchin', kid.
