This game is so hard it takes away any fun. Its like people play games for recreation to have fun and relax not to be stressed out because the game is so hard its just like work instead of play. And also another thing that is bothersome in this game is that it is filled with long loading screens.

Great challenging, racing game

This has everything you could want from a racing game and more. The graphics are slick, shiny, and detailed. The cars all sound unique and powerful. It has every different driving view you can imagine, including my favorite, in cockpit view. It really makes you feel like you're driving the car and still gives you a good view of the road. All the garages are beautiful and make a nice little place to walk around in and gaze at your cars. They have a wide selection of cars, including some rare classics that any real car fan will go out of their way to get their hands on. There is no such thing as a little Japanese ricer here, just exotic, beautiful sports cars. The physics engine is realistic, but not so much so that it makes you not want to play. There is no customization, the games focuses more on your skill as a driver than how fast your car is. Your fellow racers are intelligent and sometimes fight dirty, or you can go online and race against real people. There are so many reasons that this is the best racing game ever in my opinion. Its even got Geometry Wars in the garage!

a real drivers game!

I love the intensity level of this game as you work the way up the rankings and skill levels. Realistic driving characteristics from the cars as you would expect, such as the torquey spin outs from the big engine ferrari's or the high revving porsche or JP1's. Also the way you have to match the car to the cicuit you're competing in so as to beat the computer in career mode. Spend many hours (over 2 million 600 thousand kudos )and still have a blast. Won several races in extreme still holding my interest and desire to conquer the racing would in this life time.If you don't own this game yet and love racing, what are you waiting for!

Worth every penny, including the ones saved!

I had purchased this game two weeks ago from time of writing and I have to say that I enjoy this game, especially considering it was a "bargain bin" title.

You start out with about 85,00CP when you start and as you progress through the game, you'll acquire more funds. There's also a "Kudos" system that'll reward you for doing things like power-slides, drifts, and also racing "clean" (In other words, "driving without 'crashing'").

The only gripe I have with this game is the amount it takes to complete the game. I had just received my 360 from the repair center in Texas and within two days, was able to complete the game on "normal" difficulty. However, the more difficult you make the races, the more challenging it seems, but is worth your while.
In closing, I strongly recommend this game for anyone who had just received their 360 and doesn't have much money to splurge on newer blockbuster titles.

Great game.

The closest I'll ever get to driving a Ferrari

I was trying to decide between this game and Forza Motorsport 2.
Both have great graphics and solid gameplay, but I actually chose PGR 3 because of what it lacks: ultra-realistic car physics.

PGR 3 is very forgiving when it comes to driving. You'll still find yourself slamming into barriers if you try and take corners too quickly, but you can still take them quicker than you can in Forza 2, where the individual car physics are real-life.

I would have liked more car customization, as being able to solely pick from solid car colors is a bit drab.
The number of cars you can purchase is incredible, with even more that can be purchased from the XBLM.

With PGR4 coming out soon, you should be able to find this title on the cheap (I bought mine used for $15.) If you don't have it yet, now would be a perfect time to get it. If anything, it'll make you even more hungry for the next PGR installment.

Project Gotham Racing worthy of 4 stars

The Pros: This game is a total blast for the euro-auto enthusiast because the more one races the more credits earned to buy better cars like lamborgini, Ferrari, Mercedes, Astin Martin, Nissan etc.
Also, each car sounds and handles completely different and are set up to handle based on specs of the actual car. Hours of fun.
Lastly, there is a learning curve on every auto you drive and learning how to maximize the learning for every car is the secret to winning.

For example, every street-legal Ferrari has very good power and good handling but because they're street-legal and made for such, you have to learn to pitch their tales into the corners to maximize speed coming out of the corners. Non-street legal cars tend to not need pitching in corners, but need the driver to not-over rev RPM coming out of corners because of the big power motors in non-street cars. Over rev will throw handling totally off trying to come out of the corners.

Cons: Well, after every race you end up waiting from 5 to 14 seconds for the software to do its thing and reset. Then you also have to wait once you've chosen the next race... another 5 to 15 seconds. So the down time sucks especially when you're on a winning racing roll!

Fantastic game

I love racing games and this is one of the best. It really shows off the graphical quality of the Xbox 360, as well as conveying a great sense of speed when you get into one of these incredibly fast cars. The game has a slight learning curve, and if I was buying for a kid who is not a very good gamer, I would purchase Need for Speed instead.

The "Kudos" system (rewards you for power sliding, drafting, going up on 2 wheels, and so on) is a lot of fun and the music is varied and great. Also, you can listen to the music while you're racing, and there is everything from classical to punk rock.

The cars are detailed and beautiful; if you have a favorite exotic car, chances are that it exists in this game, or can be downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace. The system of winning races to unlock new cars, which once bought unlocks new garages, and new races, is brilliant and addictive.

My complaints are that nothing is customizable other than the color of the car, and the damage modeling is sub par, and doesn't affect driving. Other than that, this is a game that has held up well to the test of time, and now that it is in the bargain bin is a GREAT BUY

You Gotta Pick This One Up....

If you're into fast cars and fast paced driving, this is the game for you! Bizarre Creations took an intresting approach to the racing genre with a game the blends realistic physics with a dash of arcade racing. The game still requires you to take a good racing line in order to be fast, however there are a lot of assists to help you maintain control in most situations, making you feel like you're in total control. The game has a decent number of cars, about 80. Mainly high class exotics, there's only one real muscle car which I wish they changed, but what can you do, but hey this is one of the few games that has the McLaren F1 LM road car! The awesome thing about this game is all the cars in the game are capable of having a top speed of AT LEAST 170MPH. The down side is you can not customize them, besides changing the colour of the paint. The main advantage of this is it keeps a level playing field in the online mode, so it's really down to picking a car that suits your driving style and your true skill. You'll find that the solo career mode is great for unlocking achievements but some of the challenges are pretty redundant. Hot lap, timed lap and even breakthrough are pretty much the same challenge mode, except in one the clock counts up and in the other the clock counts down. After you beat the solo career you'll probably find yourself on online career most of the time. This is where you challenge the best in the world and work your way up. You have a true skill ranking which is assesed by your performance in each rank letting other players know your relative driving skill, then you have a world rank which you progress through as you win races or do well against higher ranked opponents. Just like in Halo 2's ranking system your world rank goes up and down depending on your performance, your kudos ranking however keeps on climbing since you can't lose kudos. If you got an XBOX 360 and you're into driving games, you gotta pick this one up.
