I haven't played PGR2, but I think this happened with regard to Halo 3. Not having XBox Live a lot of this title's value is lost IMO. If I were a reviewer I would have given Halo 3 a significant penalty for this (and for being so repetitive), this consindering many people buy the XBox 360 for being a cheap console and about half of its userbase aren't subscribed to XBox Live Gold for online multi-player functionality.

 

Good thing you are not a reviewer.

By your logic then Little Big Planet should get dock several points because if you don't have on-line access then you can't get the user created contents, which would be kinda stupid way to review game.  How about let dock point for Killzone 2 because half of the PS3 user base still hook up their system to SDTV with composite cables with out the 7.1 system to take advantage of the Killzone superb graphics and sound.  See where this is going.

 

 

 

 

Not to mention the fact that FPS players are not the same as *all* 360 owners.  So even if half of 360 owners are not Gold LIVE subscribers, the better question is, how many FPS enthuiasts are not.  Its also dubious to say many people buy the 360 only because its a "cheap console".  A more honest assessment is many buy it because it has a great  game library and is a good value for the money.  Either way, isn't that better than the many people not buying a PS3 because its expensive?  The only measure by which its not expensive is that Sony loses money on them.  The slant as usual is insane.
