I'm amazed at some of the graphics. On long straightaways I've taken to performing a sweeping 360 around my vehicle. Wow! The 360's uninterrupted custom soundtracks are a huge relief from the annoying PGR1 & 2 aspects. XBOX Live is cool to use as well.

Great fun over four wheels!!

Great game, excellent graphics, flawless sound and amazing inside-the-car camera. Easily the best integration of Live Marketplace Content Downloads ever. Add over 20 cars to the already enjoyable selection, with just 800 points. The greatest racer I've played in a long time.

Very Real

It's very hard to find a car game that is very realistic, after playing PGR I think I found it because every car I pick the handling and the ride changes accordingly, amazingly there is many cars to choose from so that makes it all even more interesting. Anyone who loves racing or even exotic cars this game is perfect for you. Go online and play or play on your own, what ever you do it's very real and fun to play.

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!

HORRIBLE!

This game is absolutely horrible. I bought this game and I was so excited to get it. When I put the game in the system and began playing it I was shocked. Not a good shocked either. This game does not have good graphics at all. It isn't fun either. There is also no contest in this game because they give you Class A cars when you put the thing in. I have played racing games on Super Nintendo that were more fun than this.

This game is also unrealistic. When you crash into something the car bounces right back. It doesn't even stall! There also are no dents, bumps, or scratches on it neither. I wouldn't have bought this game if it was free. Now I'm out of fifty bucks to put forward to my new computer.

I hope this review gets posted so no one buys this horrible game.

STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!

loved the game. but some very key cars were missing and the selection was less than perfect. It looks awsome on the 360. The in-car view is worth the purchace alone.

Probaly best racing game for 360

When I saw this game's pictures, I had to buy it. $29 Is nothing for such a cool game. The driving is pretty realistic and the graphics are great but the Gotham Career is crap. They also could add some more F1 circuits such as Spa in Belgium and Monaco in France and many more.

Bummer

I saw videos and screenshots for this game and I was excited. I finally got the game and I was shocked. The graphics were good, and there are lots of cars, but you can't upgrade and/or customize them. Driving is very difficult, especially compared to other racing games!
Need for Speed Underground 2 is a lot better, and how much older is it???
It is much better to buy NFS Most Wanted (my favorite) or NFS Carbon... EA is still winning the battle of the racing games.

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.
