The original PGR had fewer than 30 cars whereas the sequel has over 100. This is an amazing improvement and the range of vehicles available is superbly representative of every top-end production car that is or has been available over the last thirty years. It is in no way as comprehensive a list as any shown in the likes of Gran Turismo, but the range of cars suits high performance and most importantly, FUN. The cars have been grouped into 17 different classes, ranging from Compact Sports (Mini Cooper S, Honda Civic Type-R etc) to Ultimate (Ferrari Enzo, Pagoni Zonda etc) via such other groups as SUV (Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5 etc) and American Muscle (Trans Am, Mustang Fastback etc). The cars look stunning, being very accurately modelled and they do suffer damage when hit (albeit only to a cosmetic degree). The handling in the game has been rebuilt, meaning that the cars have considerably more weight to them than in the previous outings. They do handle a little on the arcadey side, BUT (and it's a big but) this is NOT an arcade racer. You can't expect to just pick up a Zonda and thrash around the Nürburgring, outperforming everything in sight. The cars in PGR2 require delicate handling and you will come a cropper if you don't put the hours in building up your experience from the lower groups. I honestly can't recommend this enough. After a lot of hype on the Xbox circuit I was waiting to be let down, but PGR2 provides everything you could want from a racer and more. The superb Live integration is a very tasty cherry on an already delicious cake and in no way means the single player experience is any less fulfilling.
