Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...on the subject that is Project Gotham games. Not to brag but merely prove my credibility, I have played all three PGR games on both Xbox and Xbox 360 for many hours both online and off. I hope therefore that this makes me believable when discussing PGR3's game modes as well as how it compares to it's predecessors in the series. To back this up, feel free to look at the stats for my old Xbox Live GamerTag Brutebasher on PGR2 and Tangled Spider for ...
...I bought my Xbox 360. I knew I'd love the game but naturally, for such a popular and established game series, there was the chance that it may fail to live up to the two top class games that came before it. 7 months since I bought the game at lauch, I think it is now time that I sat down and shared my thoughts after extensive play. It may be a controversial statement but I'm going to come out and say that PGR3 isn't really an improvement over PGR2 ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...start from the beginning. Project Gotham Racing 3 as you might already have guessed is the third instalment of the series and despite the fact that PGR2 was amazing, this smokes it without doubt. I think we shall have to start on the breathtaking graphics. There has never been such realism in a racing game ever, the Bizarre team really outdid themselves yet again, by taking unimaginable amounts of digital photographs of the various different areas, ...
...the Nurburgring, they have achieved a tremendous amount of detail and most importantly realism. The developer's use of an immeasurable number of digital photographs for reference has yielded meticulous textures that wrap the convincing models of each locale. And unlike previous titles in the series, the cityscapes in PGR3 are absolutely littered with spectators watching the proceedings. Their appearance alone helps add much needed realism to the ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

This game is without question the closest I will ever get to experience driving a real Ferrari. This game is perfect for me in every way.You have real radio stations with todays music playing in the cars,depending on what country you are racing in will deter what music plays, or if you have stored some of your own music on the hard drive you can use that. The graphics on this game are just to easy to sum up in one word. PERFECT. Each car has been ...
...like the real thing. You can look around the cockpit of your vehicle when you racing.Picture this, your racing along the Nurbergring in your Ferrari 355GTS and in the sournd sound in your rear left speaker you can hear the growl of the famous DBR9 creeping on your tail. You look in the interior mirror and see he is gaining on you and fast. You make your character look left and see the DBR9 overtake you.Sure you have lost a place but seeing in computer ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...I made sure I got Project Gotham Racing 3 with it. Project Gotham Racing 3 (PGR3) was the first racing game I ever played where winning isn't the only thing you need to worry about. At first I thought I may have got a bad game, but I was so wrong. PGR3 is a mix of flash cars; high speeds and winning in style that just begs you to keep on playing it. Having never played any Project Gotham Racing games before I was surprised at how many tracks were ...
...be in up to 5 cities but they are different courses in a city and that makes it harder to remember a certain track and therefore seems just as new even if you have been on it a few times before as using other tracks will confuse you which way you turn next, unless you have a really good memory of course. The tracks are set in some very nice environments and very enjoyable to drive in. Controller set-up is quite similar to other racing games considering ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham Racing is my first adventure into the world of xbox 360 and my first taste of Microsoft games consoles. I guess my gaming experience has been quite normal having spent my early teens working my way through successive generations nintendo consoles. Then I grew up and moved on the Playstion where my gaming tastes changed from platform games to racing games and first person shooters. This is when I first encountered the Gran Turismo series ...
...experiened either of the previous Project Gotham Racing incarnations so was new to the Kudos system (points awarded for driving style, tail slides a-plenty) which adds to the playability. The game is so easy to get into with the Novice difficulty setting give you time to become acustomed to the controls of your chosen ride whilst still earning credits (which are used to purchase new cars) and gaining kudos which unlock new aspects of the game. Personally ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...I had also heard of Project Gotham 4 and how it was a really good game and thought that this game was going to be a really fun and realistic racing game. How wrong I was! I have to admit I have not played this game much as I just hated it so much and have better games to play with so my review may not be completely accurate. Having played Gran Turismo on the PS2 (which is a fantastic game) I thought this would be similar. It is not. The gameplay ...
...because they have heard of Project Gotham 4 and think it is going to really good. I recommend you buy better racing games like Forza 2, Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed, Test Drive Unlimited (which I have also reviewed) and even Gran Turismo 4 PS2 over this racing game! Time to take it back to the store and hope I can get my fiver back and buy something better like Burnout! ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...this game is highly addictive. Project Gotham 3 ,also known as PGR3, is the ultimate experience for racing gamers. This flawless racing game can be played online via xbox live, single player ie career mode or with a friend (multiplayer.) Firstly I am going to talk about the features included in this game: The game you play on career mode can be played in the ascending order of novice, easy, medium, hard and hardcore. Your goal: To become the most ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

When you first play the game you notice that you now don't have to stick to having a so called "naff" cars such as a mini cooper as in the previous games. This time you can jump right in and buy really powerful cars on your first play of the game. If your wanting a game that features lower speed cars such as VW Golfs or even a Subaru Impreza this game isn't for you. On the other hand, all the cars go 170mph or more and performance wise this game ...
...menus are very cool and sleek as well as the navigation throughout the game being simple to use. The cars physics are great and drive just as well as the previous versions of PGR. The main difference between this game and the previous ones are its graphics. The graphics are clean and crisp and support 720p resolution. One new graphical feature that has been added is a new "in-car view "allowing you to view the car dashboard and surroundings from ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...was lucky enought to have Project Gotham Racing 3 bundled with the console. Previously I have owned Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2 back on the original Xbox and before that Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast. PGR3 still contains the basic concept of style "Kudos" that original debuted in Metropolis Street Racer. Over the years Bizzare Creations have done a fantastic job of updating this excellent race concept. The latest incarnation delivers ...
...is really good fun be it with friends or randoms from around the world. Offline there isnt any better feeling than power-sliding around corners whislt collecting vast amounts of "Kudos" as you link one corner to the next. The Bizzare development team have beautifully recreated New York, London, Tokyo, Las Vegas & the Nurburgring for your racing pleasure. They have also spent a lot of time on getting the exterior and interior or each car lovingly ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Project Gotham racer 3 is the first game I bought for my Xbox 360 a month ago, and I hope in this review I can offer my opinion - for all it's worth. First off I would like to say this game looks amazing, even on my ordinary Television the cars and the areas are full of detail, comparable to even some of the games released recently. Cars are instantly recognisable, as are the well-known places you can race in. London, Las Vegas, New York, Nurburgring, ...
...however you wouldn't play it. Project Gotham racer 3 has 5 different settings which allow even the most inept player achieve some wins, and become more of a player. Luckily for the unskilled player who may not have the skill to unlock the faster, more fun cars there is a mode named "Playtime* which allows the player the race any track they want. But its much more pleasurable to unlock the cars yourself in career mode. Once you've finished all there ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

After months of waiting 2nd of December finally arrived, I went to my local Game store to collect my Xbox 360 and copy of Porject Gotham Game, I couldn't wait to get home and play. I was a big fan of both t he previous games so knew I would not be disappointed with this one. I am fortunate to have HD-TV so knew that the graphics were goingto be great but my expectations were exceeded when I first played this game. The graphics were spectacular (still ...
...play was very easy to get into and the controls are the same as previous versions which meant I was able to start driving straight away. They have gone all out to make this as realistic as possible you really feel that you are driving around the cities and taking in familar landmarks. The AI of the cars is very well matched to the level of player and higher levels do challenge you whilst earlier levels allow you to compete fairly. There are a number ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

This game has to be one of the best racing games out to date, its just so much fun. You complete races, hot laps, cone challenges and many other fun challenges to get kudos and money to buy new cars. At first, if you havent played a racing game for a while, it will be hard to get used to the controls, you will be smacking into corners constantly untill you get used to drifting around corners. That said, its still a great game, it's not that long ...
...is such a broad range of cars to choose from to buy, you start off with 200,000 points to buy a car with, this is so that you buy a moderatly good car, but not a super car for your first race. Unlike some other racing games, they do have damage on the cars exterior when you crash into walls&corners, but its not the kind of damage that forces your car over to the right, its stuff like the wing mirrors bending, and the wing on the back of the car ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

PGR3. Personally I felt a bit let down by the game, there was nothing really all that inventive on the game play side. The replays are extremely nice and the in cockpit view was pleasing, However the cockpit resolution and detail is a bit poor there is limited viewing angels and it is quit blocky, you feel although it was rather rushed, and it look nothing compared to the up and coming test drive unlimited internal views. Also the look back view ...
...rear window itself in general I don not see why they did not do this. The game itself is far more arcade like then what I was expecting, for instance I could not select manual gears in the arcade mode, it was semi automatic until I went into the create your own track options. The create your own track is cleverly done and quite easy to use but there was no replay options available after your racing. The actual car physics is good and when driving ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Brilliant graphics on this driving simulation, with such a great range of audio included too. A fairly good game for the Microsoft new released, Xbox 360. I have played on earlier versions of the PGR range and have experienced some pretty good gameplay by them. I expected this game to be the same if not better, but was slightly disappointed by the fact there wasn't much of a challenge. It seems like all the decent cars are unlocked and so there isn't ...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

...XBox 360 on it's release, Project Gotham Racing 3 is still one of the best Racing Simulators on any console to date. The main mode isn't really very in depth but the custom varients that you ca make in the game are superb and never become tiresome. The AI have 5 difficulty settings and it is incredible how quickly a new player can learn the basics and shoot up from the bottom difficulty to one of the top. An absolute load of cars to test and drive ...
