Project Gotham Racing is a 2001 arcade-style racing video game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Microsoft Game Studios, released exclusively for the Xbox console as a launch title. It serves as the spiritual successor to Bizarre's Metropolis Street Racer and retains the Kudos system, which awards points for driving skills and style, necessary for progression rather than solely finishing races in first place.[1] Races occur across four real-world cities, featuring a total of 204 unique circuits.[2][3] The game achieved both critical and commercial success, launching the exclusive Project Gotham Racing series that continued with Project Gotham Racing 2 in 2003.
