Project Gotham Racing was one of the few 360 Launch titles that showed true next-gen graphics. PGR3 is in my opinion one of the most under-rated racing games. It is the least popular of them all, but I believe it is almosty the best.
It has realistic physics, but nowhere close to a driving sim, and it also has unrealistic fun physics letting oyu make huge drifts. It is 70 percent realistic physics, 30 percent crazy/fake, which I believe is a good mix. Offline Carrer mode is fun, but short. Yet, the real heart of the game lies in the online carreer mode, where you can earn credits to buy cars that you can race in both modes.
Credits is the game's form of money. You can actually use credits to get some achievements, like buying all of the Ferraris or Lamborginis. Getting these achievements won't be too hard for you, because it is extreamly easy to earn loads of creadits.
You can also park you'r cars in many different garages. You first start with a regular garage, which is small and only holds four cars, but you can move onto parking you'r cars in a beautiful villa next to the desert, or many other beautiful locations. You can also walk around you'r garage and drewl at all of the beautiful Next-Gen environments.
In Conclusion, PGR3 is a must have racing game for the Xbox 360 which demonstrates next gen graphics, fun online capability, and a great over all Experence.
Gameplay: 85/100
Gameplay in the game is quite fun. Always trying to get the perfect drifts and making good turns. The only bad part is how easily someone can take you out (do the pit manouver on you) online, and how often people do it.
Graphics: 85/100
The graphics are very beautiful, and I think that they scream "NEXT GEN" right into you'r face. Expecially the garage environments.
Value: 85/100
Solo Carreer mode is a bit short, but you will find yourself coming back to the game to play its online mode. You will probably replay this from time to time for months, so i believe you 60 dollars invested into the game is worth it.
Sound: 80/100
The sound is nothing amazing, but it is clean and crisp.
The soundtrack, in my opinion, sucks. there is alot of classical piano and violin songs, witht he occasional Beating Hearts Baby. I advise to listin to what you have on you'r soundtract of hookup your mp3 player and stream your music.
Xbox Live: 85/100
Xbox live is very fun. Tho alot of people can be cheap and unsporting by taking you out, its nice to see someone fail to take you out, let them pass you, then take them out yourself. I, myself, never collide of bump other people unless they do it first. Also, chain reaction crashes happen alot (one guy spins out, then someone else hits them, then another, etc.) but not often enought to ruin the experence.
Overall:87/90
Overall, it is an exellent buy and a solid racing game. I highly recomend this to any racing fan out there, because it posses solid gameplay and next-gen graphics. Actually, as a matter of fact, writing this review makes me want to play it, so I am going to play it right now! :lol:
