Introduction
I was just at my local EB Games testing out PGR3, and I really regret playing this game! This game is soo horribly unrealistic, and the graphics are nothing special.

Graphics
To start off, the graphics. The graphics are nothing special, the only thing that makes the game look good is the relfections, everything else is nothing special. GT4 has better graphics than PGR3, and everything in GT4 (cars, environments) looks better than PGR3. And the visuals weren't lacking because of the TV either. The Xbox 360 was hooked up to a sexy, 42" Samsung Plasma HDTV (I think it was a Samsung, i don't remeber). The Xbox made the TV look bad.
Graphics Rating: 7.8

Gameplay
Now the gameplay. LOL don't get me started on the gameplay. can anyone spell, UNREALISTIC? This game is so horrible unrealsitic, it caused me to turn it off and start playing "Nintendogs" on the DS they had on display right beside the X360. First thing, the drifting. It looks like your car is driving on a road forzen over with dishwashing detergent poured all over it (for those of you that don't know, dishwashing liquid is very slippery to drive on, as well as ice, now combine those both, and thats how it looked like when you were drifting on a perfectly dry road). When you drift your car makes an instant 90 degree turn to the left or right, and begins to slide around. If you try to steer back to center to straighten out your car, your car starts drifting in the direction you turned (say your drifting rght, your comming to the end of the turn, so you want to stop the drift so you turn left, the car turns around and starts drifting left). Also, when you see the AI cars drifting in front of you, they appear to slide around the corners. The AI would slow down when they get to the turn, and then it looks likw they are moving on a 45 degree angle when there car is still facing straight and then all of a sudden, the car starts to drift. However, there are some fun aspects of this game. There is a good sense of speed, and each car has its own advantages and disadvantages. They all handle differently, and sound somewhat different. Also, the trakcs are also fun to drive on and well laid out.
Gameplay Rating: 7.2

Audio
The audio is the only good aspect of this game. The commentary was good, and upto speed. If you crashed into an enemy, the announcer would say something like "wow! you got some serious road rage!" or something like that. I didn't reall hear any music while i was driving so i can't comment on the music.
Audio Rating: 8.5

Conclusion
So in conclusion, stay as far away as possible from this game if you want a serious racing game, and are expecting superb graphics. None of those elemnts are in this game. If you enjoy unrealistic, arcade-style racing games, then I suppose if you have money to waste, you might as well waste it on PGR3.
MY OVERALL RATING: 7.9

Note:
Im not a fanboy or anything, even though I only own Playstations (PS1, PS2, PSP, and in the future, PS3), and Nintendos (NES, SNES, N64), so don't say I gave this game a bad review because i hate MS or the CrapBox... I mean the XBOX, my mistake. It's just how I feel about the game, it's my OPINION. Everyone has a different opinion, so don't bash mine, and I won't say anything about yours. Some may like this game, other may be on my side. Either way, this is just one mans opinion.
