Skinny Puppy Is On The Soundtrack

1 Rating: 1, Useful: 2 / 38

So yet again the videogame industry shows even more irresponsibility. Project Gotham Racing 3 contains a soundtrack with a song from Skinny Puppy, a group that did a mock assassination of president Bush onstage and put it on sale as a DVD. Do you feel that this company and Microsoft are being responsible in promoting this band by putting their songs in their games? I don't think so. Send a message to the videogame industry. Don't buy it.

Game does not work outside of US!!!

We could not get this game to work so we obviously did not have much fun with this game. I bought this game as birthday present for my sister's boys in Sweden. They have an Xbox 360. Unfortunately they could never use the game because of some idiotic limitation built by Microsoft in not allowing US Xbox 360 games to work on European Xbox 360 machines and vice versa. Amazon site and product info there does not make that clear at all. I had no idea. There is no way of knowing this. I think this stinks. My sister's boys were really dissappointed in not being able to play this game and the game sits now and collects dust. They and I are very upset.

AWESOME

PGR3 Is Definitely Worth $50

Like most gamers out there, there are four major aspects of a game's development that I look at when deciding if it is worth my time and money. In order to really impress me, a game must have all of the following: good graphics (obviously), good audio quality, controls that aren't overly complicated, and a good overall value. In my book, PGR3 scores high in three out of four categories and average in the other - This make it a great buy for your buck.

GRAPHICS: 5/5 -
Anymore it seems like graphics are the paramount measuring stick, by which a game's worthiness is deemed. Though I disagree with this idea (there are many games that are good, but have only average graphics), PGR3 excels in this area far ahead of its closest competition. The cars and environments are so pretty and realistic that it's almost as much fun to watch someone else play as it is to be playing yourself. When it's that much fun to be a spectator, that's when you know a game looks good! Frankly, I haven't been as blown away by a game's graphics since the first Metroid Prime debutted on Nintendo Game Cube over three years ago.

AUDIO: 3/5 -
For the most part, as long as a game's soundtrack isn't so god awful (Super Monkey Ball, anyone?) that it distracts me from playing, I'm okay with it. While not ground-breaking or cutting edge, PGR3's background music is what it is, and it serves its purpose dutifully. Sure, the music could be better, but with graphics like that who really cares how it sounds?!

CONTROL: 3/5 -
People can complain all they want about the controls, but I haven't played a single racing game yet for which the controls weren't at least a little bit of a nuisance. The bottom line is, after you learn the basic physics of how fast and slow to take turns and when to brake and accelerate, the rest is just going. I will admit that I am still acclimating to the sensitivity of the controls, but the controls really don't seem so bad like other reviewers are peaving them to be. Sure, from time to time the steering isn't as responsive as a real car might be, but this is to be expected. Don't let a little imperfection deter you from buying this game, and if you're really on the fence you can always rent the game first and judge for yourself.

VALUE: 5/5 -
There really is no better value in terms of what's available in the Xbox 360's launch line-up. To my knowledge it's the ONLY game so far that's $50 (the rest are priced at a hefty $60, or more - Elder Scrolls IV Special Edition will be $70). At least, if there are other games for only $50, then they must not be any good or I would have heard of them. In my book, high quality for low price is an unbeatable bargain.

OVERALL SCORE: 4/5 -
In the end (averaging the four previous scores), PGR3 works out to a game that, while not quite perfect (and, come on, what game really is?), definitely a solid choice for first-time Xbox 360 buyers and a good selection for those looking to expand on their already established 360 library.

nice graphics but average

The graphics are nice, but overall I found this game to be average. A big racing fan would like it, however, for the layman racing gamer, there are better games like need for speed most wanted.

GOOD offline, GREAT online

If you have Xbox Live then you would really like this game for the many races and the interactiveness.
Great car downloads and you can create your own track.
Many cars it will not get old quick, overall just fun and realistic.

I think this game is bo.k. I think it doesnt quite do its job. I think project gotham racing is a wannabe. I think he needs to get a real job. I think this broke very soon after i got mad at it. I think this won't play in most cd players. i think the cover looks stupid. i think it gave me the idea to paint my car black and go around screaming danunununununun BATMAN! i think art is stupid. I think i don't recommend this but i sort of do. I think ive said enough. I think i haven't said enough. I think some people will read this. I think some won't. I think some people need to buy this. I think some won't. I think im almost done. I think some won't. I think ive said enough

Lets keep it simple...

Ive been playing this game for quite a while now, and all i have to say for potential and doubtfull buyers, is that this game is very fun if ur into cars. If ur not then u might just like it because of its gorgeous graphics. Aside from that, just make sure u give it a good try before u make a decision.

Not what expected.

This game is alright but not as good as I thought it would be. If I were you, I would wait for PGR4!

Lousy Lousy Lousy- NOT your PGR2

Just an empty shell of a game. I am dumbfounded how they could have ruined it from PGR2? Online Cat & Mouse is useless, and the Last Man Standing just doesn't cut it. All the cars drive the same, the graphics are hard to see the road from the deep shadows- its just a mess.
