The racing game for true fans

Advantages: Amazing graphics, stunning visuals and sounds, great control system, fantastic game depth
Disadvantages: None

...cars can be moved between classes through upgrades which you purchase as you gain points (points are gained through performance in races). Each and every car in this game simply look stunning and are perfectly rendered with it being obvious that you are not in the same car through the feel of the car and the sound of the engine (I use the in car view and this is where you hear a huge difference in the engine sounds). The game is designed to once again allow the gamer an opportunity to experience driving the cars in a simulation setting across a variety of locations with over 100 real world tracks and road courses from all around the globe. The cars each feel different and take time to get used to and thanks to the ability to alter driving aids and even areas of the cars setup you can work your understanding of the car and its handling...

Review of Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)

A brilliant racing game!

Advantages: Just about everything!
Disadvantages: none

...A really good racing game. Recently bought it after playing the demo numerous times, and in all fairness this game really is the greatest. I was lucky and managed to pick it up cheap from Ebay. So glad I did! I have longed for a racing game with just loads of different things to do. From race at different venues, different cars, different types of races, to include the drifting challenges and the destruction derby races. I also like the fact that you're able to customize the paint job on the car from hundreds of colours and designs it really is fantastic! You are also able to acquire new sponorship logos and put them on your car for extra bonuses. I'm a fan of little touches like this. For those of you who have played the DiRT game, you will know what I mean when I say it;s like driving on ice! This game is so much better. You feel as...

Review of Race Driver: GRID (PC)

Best Racing Game On 360

Advantages: Great sound and Graphics, lots of vehicles, great tracks. Great online features
Disadvantages: NONE

...I had Project Gotham 3 for the xbox 360 and it was one of my favourite games, so when I heard about Project Gotham four coming out I was really excitied. I bought this game on the first day of release from Game for £39.99 and couldn't wait to start racing. PGR4 is all about style. The Kudos system awards you points for driving with style and flair. Long powerslides around sweeping bends through to driving on only two wheels. The kudos you earn from racing can be used to buy new vehicles and also new tracks. The weather conditions are a great addition to the game and the weather can even change in the middle of your race. This makes the game much more realistic. Dense fog, ice, snow and lots and lots of rain are examples of the weather conditions you find yourself driving through and each affects your vehicle in a different...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360)

A Truly Awful Racing Game! Project Gotham Racing 3

Advantages: Lots of cars
Disadvantages: Bad gameplay, graphics, handling

...I bought this game because I saw it in Game station for about £5 and thought it was going to be really good. 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 is awful and the graphics in the game were terrible compared to other Xbox 360 games even if this was one of the first games released. I think the graphics are worse than Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 which was made before this game on a system with worse graphics! I suppose a good thing...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Wacky Races - Racing game for the Nintendo DS

Advantages: Good graphics and sound
Disadvantages: Poor controls, poor gameplay, too easy

...This review is for Nintendo DS game, Wacky Races Crash and Dash, developed by Farming Limited and published by Eidos. The game is an action racing game based on the television series. This racing game is in principle quite wide, there are ten different cars, two different difficulty levels and a range of drivers. There are also three ways of playing the game, playing the main challenge mode "Wacky Rally", you can opt to play just one race, or play the "Trap Challenge" which is a series of mini games. The control of the game is primarily through the stylus and the touchscreen, to direct your car along its journey. You don't have to do much however in the race though, there's no need to worry about acceleration or direction as it's all automated. This is rather an omission for a racing game, and although the stylus control to direct...

Review of Wacky Races: Crash & Dash (Nintendo DS)

Project Gotham Racing 2 great game great price

Advantages: budget title, real life cities, nice car line up, online play
Disadvantages: sometimes repetitive challenges, damage system could be better

...Project Gotham Racing 2 ************ Game History ************ Back in 2000, Metropolis Street Racer (MSR) launched into the market and was an instant success; I was one of the many proud Dreamcast owners who had bought this game. MSR had tried something new with its racing system. You would progress by just driving fast and beating the other racers to the finish line, but it was all about driving with style and still winning the race, so you would have to power slide your way around the streets of 3 real-life cities around the world! Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2, have kept the similar system. This on the whole, works really well! *********** Game Basics *********** As stated above, this game isn't the same as your bog standard racing game, you have to race of course, but you have to gain 'Kudos' in the race. Which...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless
Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING

...This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped. The packages comes in 3 separate parts: >Wheel >Pedals >Table attachement WHEEL: The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel...

Review of Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360)

Extremely Great(Racing)-3

Advantages: Excellent visuals; fitting soundtrack; very fast sense of speed; fast and furious gameplay is fun.
Disadvantages: Quite challenging; soundtrack can be repetitive at times; a little lack of modes.

...-(Game Information)- Name:Extreme G-3 Published and developed by Acclaim Genre:Futuristic Racing Release Date:May 3, 2002 Age Rating:3+ for mild violence Number Of Players:1-4 Online:No Memory Card Usage:6 blocks -(History)- Acclaim were quite a mixed company. It had many great games, like the original Turok games, Aggressive Inline and Extreme G-3, yet they had some less than stellar games. They had a track record for not doing so well on licensed games like South Park on the original Playstation. In 2004, Acclaim filed for bankruptcy. First released on the N64, the Extreme Racing series has been one of Acclaims main brands, competing well with Sony's famous Wipeout series. The first was a success, the second was disappointing, the third was another success and the fourth (and final) one was pretty average. -(The...
