    good game 4 out of 5

    i bought this for someone else, and they played it a lot, and actually got pretty far in the game consider it was their first racing game. I was tired of them playing halo and oblivion all the time so i bought this for them. They said they liked it and it has sparked theit interest in this type of game more now.


    Speed is the key... 4 out of 5

    And yes, it is true. This game is really good overall, although nobody uses the xbox live functions anymore, which is understandable, but really hurts the game. The achievments are really hard, too. Wait, I have to do 3 things for an achievement? What the heck is going on here. The achievments hurt the game considering how hard it is to obtain them. But still, it's a pretty good game.


    Good game, not a bad choice at all 3 out of 5

    Here we have a pretty cool racing game that has many tracks, cars, and other features but only has moderate as opposed to high-end graphics. The scenery is okay, but lacks in comparison to the 4th game and so does the overall graphics. The fourth game has better graphics, more vehicle selection, and more features. However, since this game is cheap now (used and new), go ahead and give it a try...I still enjoy playing it along with the fourth. :)


    Highest Recommendation 5 out of 5

    Project Gotham 3 is the most fun I've ever had in a racing game. Ever.
    I'm not a huge race fan, but Gotham 3 was so slick, so 'pick-up-and-play' that I couldn't help but get completely immersed. I cannot fault any aspect of the game. Graphics, sound, environment, tracks, garages, types of goals -
    Everything was completely spot-on.
    Highest Kudos to the developers for treating us to this game.


    Fun but frustrating. 3 out of 5

    This is a good example of a solid game that just needed further refinement before being shipped.

    Like the first two games, PGR3 wants you to feel the rush of racing fast cars in typically tight tracks while showing off your style. The racer is rewarded with kudos for not slamming into walls, for controlled drifting & sliding, and other manuevers. For the most part, they pull it off.

    When finishing a tough race or pulling off a crazy move while going 150mph inches from a guard rail, you do get a wonderful sense of accomplishment. The game is beautiful with all cars looking like the real thing.

    Some items worth noting:

    First, the game boasts an extensive list of ownable, drivable vehicles in the game. The problem is it's hard to know what the best car is for a given situation. The stats given for each car have little meaning; you just need to get in the car and take it for a few laps before you can see what it's good for. If you're like me, you'll buy a ton of cars but end up using just 2 or 3 favorites for most of the game.

    Second, there are 5 difficulty settings for *each* race. Yes, five. That is really good because if you have too much difficulty on one setting, it's no problem to drop down one or two levels and pass the challenge. However, this is also a problem. Why? Take the following situation as an example:

    You have problems beating a race on 4th difficulty level so you bump it down to 2 or 3. The very next race you proceed to drive better than you ever have before, making record time and record kudos. If you performed so well that you would have won on Level 4 or 5, it doesn't matter. You only get the reward from Level 2 or 3. You have to go back and try to beat it again on Level 4 or 5.

    Third, the load times are lenghty. Make sure you install it to the hard drive because it makes a noticeable difference.

    But again, your mileage may differ. It is a fun racing game that's certainly worth picking up for $5 or so. Enjoy!
