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
