Those are some intresting custom messages
Twisted scrotum....
I was about to say lmao I thought that was actually in the game lol
@@-SoonerorLater same here lmaooo i was like "wait ppl said cuck in 2000?"
I still have this for my Dreamcast. I remember it being very hyped up back in the day.
Those custom messages are just as edgy as this game 2000's aesthetics.
Ah, I miss those days and when everyone wasn't PC.
Thats the best part !!!
How dare you looking down to great titles like Smegma-chewer , Jesus is a pedo , Chainsaw-penis-sitter , Soul filled feces and many more .
Its an lost artform of comedic edge that should return as fast as possible .

Not too burst the edgy bubble but im pretty sure that he’s using a mod for that.
@@Zer0_C001 wrong
I thought MSR was terrific at the time. Loved the irl maps and tracks. Used to drive past the place that I worked on one of the London Maps.
That'd awesome
It's funny to hear someone talk about the San Francisco Rock/Jazz stations in this game positively at all. It's all about the ravey stuff on the London+Tokyo stations imo. Peak early 2000's vibes.
I had to laugh when I thought about putting the Bully Maguire quotes from Spiderman into the game:
" You're trash", "Still got the moves", " You want forgiveness? Get Religion"," Let's take on this"
I got this game coming in the mail. I’m looking forward to playing it. Best Christmas gift ever along with my Dreamcast.
It oozes atmosphere. And driving in Japan, London, and New York, knowing you are driving in the actual time of day adds something really special. It's a shame driving games have not used real time.
@@Relugus it does. The atmosphere strikes me as a unique blend of gran turismo, ridge racer type 4 with a hint of attitude.
You guys should review tokyo xtreme racer series, on the dreamcast, you'll have a blast with the second one.
Such a classy racer. Slick user interface, great design, and a sweet a.f soundtrack from R Jacques!
A bizarre creation indeed.
Still have this for Dreamcast,havent played it for like 20 years....used to love it,maybe i should try it or at least see if the disc still works
Why wouldn’t the disc still work if you haven’t used it in 20yrs? Did it work 20yrs ago when you played it last? If so it will still work. I have dvds and vhs cassettes from the 90s and they work and look just as they did the last time I used them. They’re not condoms, they don’t have expiration dates. Your old games will still work.😉
12:46 - Waiting for it, and it never came.
lmao! same
That intro be having me pumped up to the point I'll start shadow boxing. 👊
Great Review and bring memory of the old days! Thanks
This game has always had a special place in my heart, its really hard to replay now though.
I tried 2 weeks ago and got annoyed by the music and my lack of a decent vga screen.
My 20 year old self preffered those tunes much more than I do.
I am thinking of trying again in a emulator and seeing what it looks like at 4x res etc 👍
The daylight simulation uses the Dreamcast clock and will always be pretty close to how it is in RL, and even reflects seasonal changes in the real world. The downside as you say is you have to adjust the DC clock, to get access to the special races.
What, the music is like the best part of the game
Can't you just turn off the music
Rally games really need to adapt that customized message system and add recorded voice support. Imagine playing badly and the co-driver just shout "SAMIR YOU BREAKING THE CAR!" 🤣
Oh man. I loved this game as a kid. As a not so kid(31) now it brings me so much joy to look at this review now - i remember all of the songs. Eeeee 😊
What a game that was. 1999. I was 18 years old. I have never had as much fun with any racing game.
Some of you might remember the game Headhunter that came out for Dreamcast in 2000. The music was also composed by Richard Jacques. At one point there is a radio playing, and you hear Fallen Angel from MSR :)
MSR was that game that made me fall in Love with the Mazda Miata
Awesome! Really liked this vid. Can you do a review series on all the Tekken games?
It's a great game. Second only to Le Mans 24 hour on the DC racer podium imho.
La Mans is meh, Toyko Racing 2, Sega rally 2 and F355 are my favs
til that planet perfecto ad is real
excellent review dude !
Yo, That opening reminds me of 90's commercials. Always asking your questions they don't have the answer to...
I remember getting this at launch and just found it frustrating. Didn’t lend itself well to the Dreamcast controller and it felt sluggish I thought
Would it be a bad idea to play this game if the watch battery in your Dreamcast is dead?
the console keeps the time as long as it's still plugged in
and even if you unplug it, before launching any game the console will ask for the current time and date, so you're good
There's an exploit in this game when you play a race type called hot lab I think is what it's called. It takes your best lap but if you have a good first lap on the second lap you can do tricks to earn kudos and turn around and go back the opposite direction toward the starting line and do it again repeatedly to boost your kudos.
This allows you to earn way more kudos than you would normally be able to earn unlocking a lot of the game earlier than you would normally be able to unlock races in the game. I actually recommend doing this because you get some breathing room and you're not just stuck to a linear progression of races. Just be warned that some of these races get really hard later on in the game!
2:25 as someone who’s played this game I was on the edge of my seat watching this, those turns were beautiful
Wow this takes me back! Between this and Wipeout I think are the best racing games. I spent so many hours in my college days playing these games
PGR2 is an absolute banger
NIPPLE CAKES!
Loved the Kudos system. You need to drift through the turns or you will lose to the AI. My only gripe is i t was waaay too dark.
loved that game back in the days.. we listend to alien ant farm while playing this.. good ol times:) now i'm feeling old:( xD
Love the aesthetics (music, visuals).
Very techno 90s
Those messages are so aggresive lmao
Wow, I haven't played it for decades now, didn't remember the customizable messages ! Thanks, I laughed hard. Oh and BTW PGR2 is the best of the series.

@@Gamingpastime64 wait 4 is your best one or the first one?
4 is my favorite
So Project Gotham Racing has nothing to do with Batman? I always thought it was a themed racer like Donkey Kong Racing or Crash Cart Racing lol
Sadly, no.
lmao I couldn't take the review seriously with those messages
The radio stations were so original
Dieses Spiel war damals im Februar 2001 mein erstes Dreamcast Spiel dass ich mit der Konsole zusammen gekauft habe. Es war fantastisch, ich habe es das erste Wochenende durchgehend gespielt. Aber es war vom Schwierigkeitsgrad wirklich schwer für mich. Zusammen mit dem Ubisoft Spiel Speed Devils eines meiner Favoriten unter den Rennspielen der Dreamcast.
12:46 why mention the static going through a tunnel and then not show it in the next clip? odd editing choice.
This review was glorious ! Especially the names just killed me !
This game came out 5 days before I was born. Wild.
Youre loss😊
I love this game.
1:04 Excuse me? I don't remember ordering an enema
I still have some of these banger tunes in my car... and have to restrain myself driving, to not have some of the custom messages seen here shouted at me from other road users...
This game has a special nostalgic part in my heart, reminding me of a period of time in my life as me an my friends were into cars and car culture in our late teens/early 20s, I tried giving it another go a couple of years ago for a trip down memory lane, the first time since the early 00s and it was so much more brutal then I remembered. Ps: I snuck this song on my cars mix CD which probably ruined a few dates but I don't care, loved it! ua-cam.com/video/_eGcCdXNAtI/v-deo.html
Same! I loved this game. I’m going to get another copy once I get hold of another Dreamcast.
Ruined date lol, if they didn’t like this music, then they had no taste :-)
CLOWN PORN!
Dude. Great work. I was dying
MSR and PGR walked so Forza Horizon could run
We miss and thank you, Bizarre Creations...
Motorsport, get it right
Also bizarre dying had nothing to do with Forza that was Activision
Graphicaly stunning and really pushed the boundaries at the time; too many comments, plus the video creator, seemingly judging it on 2020s standards. This is barely 5 years after the era of 2D platformers.
Are those penalty descriptions real? Damn thats harsh 😂
It was edgy
Eh I recognize tracks from the first PGR. I need to try this one
Well - first and last time I'll be watching anything on *_this_* channel.
My only chance to drive an expensive car through Shinjuku. My only chance to drive an expensive car full stop.
it would be hilarious if a game came out and actually used those insults, the dev would get cancelled in minutes
The game kinda needs proper balancing, they want overboard with kudos system to be honest and the game is too dark but the game has widescreen feature you can enable it from cheats.
THERE'S A BULLET IN THE GUN!!!
Availble now, yeah right we're still waiting
I wish my 10-year old brain knew about that hot-lap exploit 😅
SATAN IS PLEASED
gem
Loved the overall vibe and the graphics but hated the kudos system. It was so difficult to progress and it made me quit eventually because I was fed up playing the same tracks over and over again without accessing anything new.
Great game 👍 Loved it 💜😍
Good Muusic, relaxing, intense, great graphics and Kudos made it the eArLY geN, StReEt racEr, it waz 🏁
So next gen in design for the time ⏰ and maybe it's arcade/pure racer balance, never since got matched 🤷♂️🤷♀️
Way t o Damn Hard, in Street Racing the Training level is next to impossible to get the target rime because if you go as fast as you can you run into everything and get penalized but if you don't just floor it you can't beat the target time.
There is a cheat where you can unlock all tracks by holding the start button during the introduction sequence but what is the introduction sequence ? If you hit the start button during the video it aborts the video and brings up that don't try this at home screen and then eventually after waiting for all the logo screens to go by you can finally get to the start game screen but all the tracks are not available. It;s annoying to make a game so damn hard that even on the beginner levels you have to be a super skilled video game wiz. Also it's annoying how every time you start a game it asks you to adjust the time zone even after you save a game and if you don't select the correct time zone you can't go back and change it in options and have to power off or reset the Dreamcast to change the time zone. It's also annoying that you have to create a profile even if you want to just do a time attack or quick race. Also it's annoying how you can't change the settings of your car after you win and register it so if you want to change the color, roof, window style and even the name on the license plate you can't do it after you win a car and save it. The Music gets annoyingly repetitive.
Bruh, who was the sperging pantifa 12yr old edge lord that did the custom text in your game?
LOL
You had to research to know the game order or to know about them.
I love that you can customize the rewards and penalties. Excellent examples here!
Did the game just state "Jesus is a Cuck"? LOL 12:55
You can edit these things, and that's what Michael did, and took it personally.
Man I so want to play this game as it looks fun, I remember pgr1 being awesome and the second game being a disappointment back then. Also it's the same scenario with Need for speed high stakes on Playstation All over again, You have to own a car before you race, as there is no Freeplay mode where you can freely choose any car and track and just race and enjoy the games unique production values, I really don't like that.
Also PGR 1 and 2 could have been ported over to Microsoft windows, I believed it would have done well on those PC aside than Xbox just for deep preservation.
I used a cheat code on the tail end of the championship mode because grinding became too tedious for the last 2 cars that you can't even upgrade.
I remember playing this game as a little kid many, many years ago. I was a terrible driver.
Well i have completed Chapter 1, but i need another another 500kudos. I cannot earn anymore !
never seen a racing game telling u you fucked up b4
best racing game Dreamcast!
I really despised the Kudos system in this game, the AI, and the restrictive garage system. The Kudos system, pretty much everything else, was much more improved and balanced in the PGR titles.
Imagine someone customizing those quotes to say things that are racist, homo/hetero/transphobic, or edgy/offensive. I'm surprised the devs never thought this through for an E-rated title. It would've been M-rated immediately from that.
0:45
Just another reason to hate Activision for closing down Bizarre Creations. Such a shame, I still love Blur and always wanted to play PGR.
I really don't like how Forza is the be all an end all racing game franchise of today, I really miss the likes of Midnight Club and Project Gotham.
As much as I like forza, I miss games like blur, pure, split second, and project gotham.
@@tropixx_xlr1549 As a playstation owner, Forza has always made me envious, but i admit the pool of racing games is just garbage compared to what it used to be in the ps2 era and before
Licence to suck !
The game looks nice. But what's with the satanic messages and the name calling???
I get that it's your video,
but was “JESUS IS A CUCK” really necessary?
You've hurt plenty of good people with that.
Not really.
@@Gamingpastime64 Well how would you feel if you were chatting with someone you liked and they suddenly called your mum a whore then carried on as normal?
Mothers actually exist.
@@Gamingpastime64 Ah I see.
You're one of those, _“Whoever doesn't accept that I know everything actually_ *_deserves_* _to be insulted”_ types.
How profoundly, *intensely* ironic.
@@Gamingpastime64 jesus existed i dont believe he was the son of god and born from a virgin but he definitely was a real person.
Watching it all. Poor review of a classic.
Jesus is our Lord and Savior. It does not matter if you refuse to believe.
Ok
NIPPLE CAKES!
