Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360, 2005)

i would give project gotham 2 a 4 out of five. but pgr 3 was not much of an improvement. infact i think they took away some great features. first of all the took out almost all of the regular cars and replaced them with only exotics. with the acception to maybe the mustangs and corvettes. in general if your buying this game you need to buy it so you can drive cars you'll probably never get to drive. it killed me to find out they took out any car that might be obtainable by a regular income. then they took out the miliage counter. i used to take so much pride in the tachometer in pgr 2. now its nonexistant. the online play is ranked completely different too. it is focused on class racing where it takes forever to find a room with more than one person. the tornaments give way to much time to qualify for. the speed needed to achieve to get in just gets faster and faster.when you have a week to qualify for a tornament the not nerdy type of gamer has no shot at making the field. the graphics while nice are not at the peak of the 360 hardware. i didn't evev find much replay value in the main offline series. you can race the same car start to finish. it adjusts the competition around your car class. making some of the platinum medals impossible in some cars. the saying "if it aint broke dont fix it" definately didnt apply. my guess is microsoft asked bizzare to get the game out by launch and then bizzare rushed things. it is so frustrating to just want to get a game that measures up to the last one that came out and get this. i still would rather play pgr 2 and that sucks. i shouldnt have spent the money. i say dont spend over ten bucks. its not worth a penny over ten bucks
