It's 2013 and I still have the fondest memories of this game. I no longer have an xbox, but if I did, I'd be all over this game. No racing game I played before it or since measures up to the amount of fun I had playing this game.
It's been a very long time, but I can't say that I ever remembered anything bad about this game. Not to say that there weren't bad things, but they certainly did not overly effect the gameplay. I beat this game into the ground. I do remember serious frustration on some of the races, but the joy of beating it after all that frustration is perfectly priceless and also memorable and part of playing a game, dare I say.
I never played PGR, but PGR3 was an incredible disappointment after this one. PGR4 seems to have gone back to the roots of PGR2 to a certain degree, but they don't make racing games like this anymore. Forza might be considered an exception, but Forza is more simulation and customization. PGR is straight arcade style. It's the basic idea of starting with a junk car and working your way up, giving you that sense of accomplishment.
If you want to go a little old school and see the greatness of yesteryear, I would highly recommend this title.
