I never intended to own an original Xbox. I had a Dreamcast, and planned eventually to get a PS2 for Final Fantasy, but the year I returned home after living in San Francisco, my parents surprised my brother and I with an Xbox for Xmas. I wasn't convinced at first, but Halo soon changed my mind. As time went by, it became one of my favorite systems...it had some great games - KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, etc. But one game I really played a lot was Project Gotham Racing.
I played a lot of racing games growing up like Pole Position, Hang On, Outrun, and the like. But Project Gotham Racing was the first modern racing game I really got into. It was great. What was most interesting about it was that in addition to the usual races, there were events where you won depending on your style, not your speed. For instance, you got points called "Kudos" for drifting around turns and the like. I spent a lot of time with these events trying to do the coolest moves. Never played a racing game that had that before.
I really enjoyed this game. The franchise has sort of died out now, and I never played the sequels. but I really had a lot of fun with this. I really liked the original Xbox, and I still think fondly of my time with it.
