So, having the funds and time, last year I bought myself PGR2, 3 and 4 and go through them all. After having fnished PGR 2, 3 was the next logical choice. Well, what can I say, while PGR3 is a really good racing game, it definatly can not reach the level of PGR2, which imo, is in a masterpiece class with the likes of GT1-4, Burnout 3 and more. Its driving mechanics are REALLY good though, probably even slightly better, than in PGR2, and thus, the best in the entire PGR series. What PGR3 also does the best, is the garages. It has like 10 or so different ones with each having its own feel and atmopshere, and there's actually enough space to park all 80 cars of the game in them, which is like a little fun game itself.
General info on the game: The game itself is MUCH easier, than PGR2 on platinum/hardest given mode. Other than that, they are very similar games.
Game modes: 1. Street race: race against other cars. 2. Overtake challenge: Overtake a set amount of cars in a set amount of time. 3. Slalom/cone challenge: Drive through cone pairs as quickly as possible, without hitting them, the wall, or otherwise braking the combo by being too slow. 4. Speed trap: Drive as quickly as possible at a fixed part of a track. 5. One on one: You against one other A.I. opponent. 6. Elimination: Multiple laps race, where each completed lap, the last placed car gets eliminated from the race. 7. Drift challenge: Get as many drift points as possible in an usually small amount of time (less than a minute). 8. Hot lap: Set fast lap in a single lap. 9. Timed run: Basically a hot lap, but on a point to point track. 10. Breakthorugh: Similar to a hot lap, but you are given 10 seconds plus each time you reach a further point on the track and the timer goes constantly down. 11. Time vs. Kudos: Again similar to a hot lap, but the timer here goes constantly down as well. You prevent it from going down by driving in a manner, that would give you Kudos points (drifting, sliding, jumpung, driving an ideal racing line, etc.).
Tracks: You have 4 cities (New York, Las Vergas, London and Tokyo). Plus you have the Nürburgring GP course and the Nordschleife.
Cars: MUCH quicker on average, than in PGR2, but also less of them. 80 in PGR3 vs. 102 in PGR2. Some are returning from PGR2, many are new. If you have questions, please feel free to comment and ask.
Graphics and sound: Pretty amazing for a 360 game, though slightly sub 720P. The engine sounds are nice, nothing great. The music in the game is ok, I've listened to much better OSTs.
So all in all, PGR3 is a racing game worth your time and worth checking out. If you like, you can check out my PGR3 walkthrough on the hardest diffculty mode and more vids I did about this game:

PGR 2 (Project Gotham Racing 2) is a masterpiece - and you need to play it
Hey guys, so about half a year ago I bought myself an used OG Xbox with some games, and one of those was PGR2. Years ago I did play through PGR3 and 4 on the 360 and loved them. PGR1 looks neat, but very "early gen", so only PGR2 was left in interest for me. After having played through it on...
