Well I'm going to be completely woeful at this game. Always struggled with the Kudos challenges but the new Star system is 1000 times harder. Had to get 25 stars to unlock the 22B - I got 3

The Maserati 350F round the ring was great though, in the snow and early morning light. Looked and drove really well but the time was hardly a challenge. Even with one major spin and driving carefully I managed to beat it by 40 plus secs!

I found that really easy, got over 30 stars and got the 9000 Kudos "showboat" achievment.

From what i've played of the demo isnt the star system just the same as linking moves together on pgr3, if you've done the cone challenges on platinum then the stars should be easy.

But there are no cones and stringing good corners together doesn't cut it. I managed to get a second by snaking down a straight hitting the handbrake to get small slides but that is plain stupid and no fun. Obviously I'm just c*** at it.

Where's the bin

I found pgr2 easier than pgr3. I got platinums for everything on that, but have only managed gold on pgr3. Perhaps I'm just getting old . Either that or I haven;t got the patience to do the same thing over and over again any more...

Halo is a 6-7hr game on Campaign story mode.

I'm going to play it on Heroic. I cant see me going through it that quickly. Everybody said Bioshock took no time but I spent a good few hours working through that. I'm probably just crap

Had a very quick blast on PGR (the joys of having a plasma screen and 360 in my office *smug*) and have to say I came away extremely underwhelmed. Looked very nice but... well I can't really put my finger on it... I guess it felt pretty soulless? Looking forward to trying it with the wheel, maybe that will help.

I've seen the thread but I've been avoiding anything Halo 3 tagged so as not to spoil it for myself. I'll take note of that though

i tried to do the same as too many put downs about graphics (which i think look great)

and play by yourself so its a decent length, playing with others makes it too short. As we've played H1&2 i wanted to play the story through before joining friends who havent played 1&2 and have been playing randomly in & out of the campaign.
