Is it fun? YEs. Should you buy it? Well if you need a racer at launch. Truly this is a beautiful game that you will only experience on the xbox 360. The graphics are definately better on the xbox 360. Want to drive down close to picture perfect replicas of vegas and other major cities? Get this game. Want an ultra realistic racer? Do not get this game. Want a game that is not completely realistic but which makes the game playable and fun? Get this game. Want unparalleled graphics in a racing game? Buy this game and use the view from inside the car. It is incredible. Is this game more fun than Burnout? Nope. Is it more pretty? Yep.

Bottom Line: Is it worth the buy? If you can't live without a racer. If you can, Perfect Dark and Kameo are way more fun.

first of all i like the gran turismo series,,,except gt 3 which was a let down(i call that a d-jam meaning that it sucked and was craptacular)... then comes along the project gotham series,,which was very nice indeed..lots of fun all around
i got this game on the x box 360 launch night and i was floored when i loaded this in my shiny brand new system...this is next gen racing at its finest... the controles are fluid very responsive..the graphics are top notch ! all the hot cars are there..from mustangs to the shelby cobra to the corvette and all the exotics as well..the street race mode is my favorite because you can just jump in and race..instant gratification :) this game should be taken for a spin vrooooom!! smell that rubber burning !

dont let others make up you mind for you rent this game or buy it you wont regret it

Really shows off the gorgeous graphics of the XBox 360

If you're a racing fan, this is a must-have game for your XBox 360. If you're just looking to see how good the graphics are on the XBox 360, at lesat rent this game. It's quite impressive!!

You choose from a number of real cars. There are Ferraris, Jaguars, Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, McLarens and much more. The cars look AMAZINGLY good with full detail, and you can choose the color as well.

You race your car through a number of circuits around some quite recognizeable towns. You end up in London, Las Vegas, New York City, Tokyo and Nurburgring. Each location is full of detail. When you drive down the river Thames in London you pass Big Ben. Vegas has gorgeous hotels that I remember from my visits there.

Doing fun stunts earns you Kudos points, so not only are you aiming to win your races to earn cash, but you also want to rack up Kudos points. That makes even the easier races fun, as you do spins, slides and much more.

The world you're in is quite interactive. The people watching the race take flash pictures as you drive past - but if you crash into a fence near them, they all cringe. There are clouds floating by overhead. Mostly, though, there are other racers on the track trying to get by you and steal the lead.

We found the controls to be very intuitive, and the cars handled quite nicely. Note that this is a GAME racing system - i.e. it's not pure realistic. If you smash into a wall at 100mph, your car does not explode into a thousand shards of metal. You simply spin off gently and keep going. That being said, most gamers really don't want a "realistic" racing game. They want a fun one, and this game delivers across the board.

I have to admit that for me, half the fun in this game is the gorgeous landscapes. In Vegas, you drive past the Excalibur and Treasure Island, and the details are picture-perfect. New York, New York is by the track in quite amazing clarity.

I also love the sound in this game - because the soundtrack options are simply awesome. You can choose from a number of soundtracks, from classical to alternative to J-Pop and more. You can even stream in music from your iPod or other MP3 player!

I suppose if you hate racing games, you probably will find this game to be boring. You're just racing cars around in circles with pretty scenery and great sound. But you'd have to be in the minority to not enjoy this game. The cars are amazing. The graphics are amazing. The sound is amazing. Because of the multiplayer options, including up to 8 simultanous live players online, you could play this game for eternity and still find people to challenge you.

If you want even MORE of a challenge, you can even create your own custom route through their maps! You can design your very own custom lap system and challenge others to play on it. Talk about variety!

Highly, highly recommended!

Fast and Fun

Getting my new 360 I knew that I wanted a racing game. I'm a big Forza player and the guys on my Forza clan were going to be getting this game. After playing Forza for months I decided to buy PGR2. I hated it. I felt that the cars didn't respond well and the tracks and challanges were boring.

I decided to take my chances with PGR3. When I popped the game into the machine I noticed that the menus are flashy. They are very easy to navigate. I started my career mode. It seemed that the game didn't have any mainstream normal cars. This game is all about super exotic's.

This game is not a race simulation but it isn't as arcade like as Need for Speed. The cars are a bit forgiving when hitting the guard rail and other cars. The sense of speed is awesome with out the Burnout blure. The game concentrates on Kudos(Style) points. You earn them by drafting or drifting throug the turns.

The visuals are the best seen for a racing game. The detail of the cars are great, all the way to the inside. There are only for Cities to race, Las Vegas, New York, Tokyo, London, and my favorite The Nurburgring. The city tracks to start to look the same after a while.

The online multi-player is the main reason I bought the game. It is very easy to jump into a game. I've raced alot of races on Live and they didn't even slow down abit. No lag, no drop in the frame rate. The one problem I had was that the server would drop the host and everyone in the room. This seemed to happen frequently.

All in all I am very impressed. This game passed my expectations. It is a very all around racer.

Really Fun

I bought this game loving the rest of the Project Gotham Series. The whole series is amazing, but this one sure takes the cake for the best.

The graphics are amazing on this next gen game. The enviornments, the cars, the fans... It's all really cool.

The single player is a little different from the last ones. In this there are little sections of about 4 different kind of objectives (Time Trial, Cone Challenge, One on One, and a lot more). You get kudos from completing these challenges. Once you have enough kudos you can buy any car you want (which is different than PGR2).

Online is different too. In this you can choose any car you want (if you've bought them offline or not) if the game is unranked. There are also different classes of cars compared to the others. This game uses the system of Class A, Class B, ect. It's not like the others where you can choose American Muscle and stuff like that.

Overall this is a really awesome game. If you are a fan of racing this is a must have.

Looks nice, plays terrible.

Sure it looks nice. However, it plays really terrible. I was a pretty big fan of PGR 1, but I couldn't get into this one.
I tried the test drive on all the starting cars.
But, none of them felt reasonable.
Some games inspire you to get better at it. This one just beat me down. I don't have time for such games. If you can't get me hooked in 20 minutes, I'm not interested.

Great Addicting Game

My girlfriend was against me getting an Xbox 360 until she played this game. There's something about this game that really makes it feel as if you're really driving. The attention to detail is amazing. This is the game I put in my Xbox 360 to play when company comes over and they say "oh, you have the new Xbox...". It is totally fun and addicting. My girlfriend is stuck playing the career mode and I actually come home to see her playing it.
This is a funn game.
