Game Description

The special feature of PGR is a medal system. This leads to an immense long-term motivation, as the player will try to get all these medals. In PGR, there was the classic three medals gold, silver and bronze. In the successor PGR 2, the number was increased to five by introducing the steel medal for beginners and the platinum medal for professionals. At every medal certain challenges are linked, so for example, must find a specific place in a race, achieved a certain lap time or a high slalom score can be achieved. This level slalom is another special feature of the PGR series, which are not available in any other game. The player moves from a staked with cap racetrack and receive for each passage through a gate cap points. If he succeeds, however, to go through before time runs out another cone goal or a point- effective maneuvers such as drifting or to ride on two wheels, a second score in addition to the normal number of points appears. This is added after the time to normal. The second number of points increases exponentially and thus the first to outstrip many times. The player's objective is thus a combo over the whole distance to lie in order to achieve the greatest possible number of points.
