I'd like to be able to drive around London and have a look at the places I've actually been to. And I must disagree - Live your Life by Salford Keys is by far the best song in the game!Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-67271243556777806982011-12-31T19:10:41.567+00:002011-12-31T19:10:41.567+00:00I would advise skipping to the 7:20 mark on pcwzrd...I would advise skipping to the 7:20 mark on pcwzrd13's vid to see the free roam mode truly demonstrated. <br />Pacific Heights is still closed off and a claustrophobic district, although 'long long road' is by far my favourite song from the game. Westminster just isn't as well lit at night as say Trafalgar, however it does illuminate a cool but ignored aspect, the game's international clock. That particular feature I did miss when playing PGR4.straitJackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189500016419030268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-15776435709556640882011-12-31T18:34:19.422+00:002011-12-31T18:34:19.422+00:00Video is live now.Video is live now.pcwzrd13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08517477264260272095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-45403929274661234192011-12-31T17:01:31.438+00:002011-12-31T17:01:31.438+00:00Uploading a gameplay video of Free Roam mode now.....Uploading a gameplay video of Free Roam mode now...

All these vehicles are the last ones unlocked and while I haven't figured out how to make the road become grass there is a free roam mode for certain.<br /><br />Forgotten just how much detail went into the cities in this. London has a good chunk of the correct shops and restaurants including many that are long gone now like Virgin Megastore and Tower Records. Spotted a stage show parody with cameos of characters from Bizarre's other DC game Fur Fighters, and there are posters for the oddball DC game Roommania #203 all over Tokyo!Animated AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550837973910959680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-46199924168999712562011-12-28T00:27:17.838+00:002011-12-28T00:27:17.838+00:00I never got very far in that game, looks like I...I never got very far in that game, looks like I'll have to get back into it.Hardakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056186654154308789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-55756390246348742112011-12-25T03:58:35.883+00:002011-12-25T03:58:35.883+00:00I've found the grass cheat.

In comparison videos most people try to show off the graphical comparisons so in this case it would be like saying "look how close in quality these two games are from different gens." :)Brian Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015295202526704700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-43197904846558161142011-12-24T16:37:07.180+00:002011-12-24T16:37:07.180+00:00Thanks for featuring my video!

Also, yeah - I have considered doing an MSR/Project Gotham comparison, but it would mean going out and buying PGR 3 or 4, and frankly, I could better spend that £5 on a 6 pack of lager. You know how it is!<br /><br />Brian - I agree, maybe Rally 2 wasn't the best comparison to do, but it's hardly ever been mentioned here at the 'Yard, so thought it was time to give it a bit of time in the spotlight!Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-49950005762637602052011-12-24T00:35:12.087+00:002011-12-24T00:35:12.087+00:00^^^ This.
