Hi guys, I needed a different game to play and i never played PGR3 before and I just bought it. I am not having very much fun on it. I surprisingly like NFS: Carbon better and i don't really like NFS much anyways. Well i was just wondering why people thought it was a good game. Maybe it will open my eyes after reading some opinions. I know its an older 360 game but old games can still be fun...I just don't find this one too great.

I play the game trying to perfect my driving style, I wanna get good for forza 2. It depends on the attitude you play it with. if you play it with the I just want to race attitude it works better.

Don't play PGR3 using an automatic tranny. Use manual so you get the real feel of the game.

you know, i feel the same way

at first i thought it was a good game, the graphics, the physics, the style were all great

but this game doesn't seem deep, i liked pgr2

for some reason pgr3 doesn't live up to it

i think upgrading, modding, or "career" style play is more my style

PGR 3 seemed a lot easier than what PGR 2 was to me.  I still enjoyed it a lot, the online didn't keep me coming back like 2 did.  Having your Kudos total for online was really cool, probably in the minority on that I suppose.

Anyways, it's a launch game so whatever.

I am a huge car fan so PGR3 is a great game to me. If your not into cars and just like racing games then PGR probably isn't for you, stick with arcade racers. I like sims more than arcade racers, exactly why i love Forza, PGR,and Gran Turismo.

It's all right, but I hate the fact that you can't customize your cars. Usually that's the reason I buy racing games, so "I can put some Deeeez on that b1tch".8) sry

Yeah. I wasn't terribly impressed with the PGR series either. Not that it's a bad game, I just didn't like the whole "driving for kudos" BS. I don't want to worry about taking every turn perfectly or trying to avoid hitting other cars or I lose points. F that noise. I play to win. Bumping off cars, cutting through the grass, whatever it takes. "Driving with style" my ass. -K

I love the PGR series and have since I got the first one when I bought the Xbox may moons ago... that said, PGR3 was a bit of a let down. I think PGR2 was the best of the three... I just like the way 2 was structured over 3. Hopefully they'll get back on track with 4.

in my openion it's not.  it's a fun game but all games sre suposed to be fun.  i think forza 2 will be a special game in the racing genre,  you might even say THE special game.

PGR3 is a pretty good game.  It just takes some practice to learn how to drift.  The drifting is way over exaggerated but it’s fun once you get the hang of it.  If it’s still too realistic for you I would suggest Burnout Revenge (360).  It’s just a great arcade racer.  *NITROUS BOOST*

actually you didn't have to work your way up in pgr2,  you could beat the entire game in the mini,  i did it.  pgr2 was classed,  pick the best car in a class and stick with it.  pgr1 was the game where you had to change cars,  because it would put a ferrari up,  and if you were in a mini you didn't even see tail lights very long.   pgr3 thows everybody in ferrais to start with,  so it's still in class,  you can complete the entire game with 1 car,  only you have to complete it with the best cars rather than the lowest cars.  pgr1 is still the best imo,  you had to upgrade or get left behind.

PGR3 is an excellent game. Try looking at like it's a very intellgent movie, you really have to think to get what you want out of the experience. NFS: Carbon is easier to get into, but not as rewarding.
The only advice I can give you is keep playing. I'm sure you'll start to like it.

I think PGR3 is really good game but the problem with the game is, it's not as good simulation game as Forza and also not as good arcade game as NFS.  So for me, PGR3 is a game right between simulation and arcade, it feels kinda both.  Maybe because of that some people feel not satisfied with the game.  That's my opinion, hope it helps.

People like you are the reason I stopped playing PGR3 on XBOX Live. It's never any fun when you're the only one playing to the whole "driving with style" spirit of the game.

PGR3 is fun in an arcadey way, its not an arcade game like RR but that suits me not really bein an arcade racing fan. Its not the deepest game by a long shot, infact it does start to feel very repetitive goin through the same thing over and over just in a different city but as a launch game its definitely worth a go, even more so now u can buy it on the budget range.

If u want an indepth racing game u could pick up a copy of Forza 1 and play that 'til number 2 drops for the 360 in may this year.

I really enjoyed PGR3.  I liked the linking of the offline and online mode.  The only thing that I did not like was the fact that the career online mode was so random.  No way to get into a consistent game between friends or even good racers.  And if you race in playtime mode, it does not count towards your achievements.  A lobby would of made the career side a lot easier to manage.

its a good game to show off the graphics of the 360 and its an ok racing game, however, its kinda short or it seemed short to me, and no customization of cars. Gran Turismo 3 is still my favorite racing game though im not sure why but i spent the entire time i had my ps2 playing that game and i was hoping PGR would be the same way but it wasnt. Yeah its a good racing game but its not one that will keep you coming back everyday.

none of those are gameplay. You are just as sad as the PS3 fanboys now... PGR3 is full of jaggies.. The game is not amazing looking on a HD screen. Looks okay, not great.

It's not... did someone tell you it was?

EDIT: Dude, seriously what are you thinking? You totally wasted your money. Forza 2 comes out in like a month and you're blowing your wad on this turkey.

That's right, the steering wheel even comes with PGR3 Force Feedback edition. If you plan on buying the wheel, you'll get PGR3 for free.

I know what you mean, I hated PGR1 & 2. Then I got 3 for a look, and surprisingly I loved it, only is just by fat the most fun, the cone capter mode would be better if you could make your own, add citie's together would be cool. Online I met more friends than I would on COD's, Vegas Etc. It's a game that makes you do 200MPH+ hit a wall, and not show any damage, weeehey ( I think it would be better on the crashes if it was more realistic). Just have a go at online, there are new modes that people made up, like when you were back in school, you used to play, Stuck In the Mud, but with cars, which you set it on Cone Capture, and the chases are a class A, and the runners are a class D or E, you got 30Secs, to get away, and there are chases, say there is 12 in a room, there be about 4/ 5 chases, the rest runners, and once they touched you, you can either roll to a stop or just stop dead, and you are not allowed to move intill your team comes around and free's you up, and then you drive off, intill you get court again, fun and easy. Or there is last mad standing, which means everyone starts off in the same car, class E or D, so it not to fastm that people can't controll, the last person in every race must go in a class A car, and ram the hell out of the person 1st, and so on, intill the person who aint a class A car wins, good fun. Cat and mouse would be more fun if there actuall cat cars, and mouse shape cars.

I didnt like it either, its good for collecting all the cars, good graphics and all, but in the end for all its realism the cars just bounce off the sides when you crash and dont act all that realisic. Meh its just no fun (IMO) and I far prefer something fast and stupid yet mindblowingly accurate and entertaining like Burnout, I liked Takedown (3) the best - they actually crashed loads of cars to get these graphical effects, awesome!

PGR3 is your typical cheesy arcade style racer. Most of the tracks were dull, your not able to adjust your car for different tracks, no customization, shortage of vehicles, cheesy overdone physics. This is a game that should of been for the arcade only. If you want a real racing experience go play Rfactor on PC.

I play the game trying to perfect my driving style, I wanna get good for forza 2. It depends on the attitude you play it with. if you play it with the I just want to race attitude it works better.

Stop driving like it's any old racer and DRIFT my man! This game is all about style. If your not going into every turn sideways than your not playing the game properly!

Its all about those freakin sweet cars

none of those are gameplay. You are just as sad as the PS3 fanboys now... PGR3 is full of jaggies.. The game is not amazing looking on a HD screen. Looks okay, not great.



Get a better tv then noob, because PGR3 has no jaggies at all on my tv.

don't worry. if you see my screen you'll cry... but we all know it has jaggies (project gotham jaggies is it's nickname.....)... maybe you just don't know what jaggies are. you're lucky

ROFL!!! PGR3 is the best looking racer out there for ANY console or PC. Please buy a new TV and don't post in this thread.
