I enjoy the racing genre as a whole, and I have been playing racing games for many years. Most of the racing games I pick up usually serve me about 10-15 hours of time, before either I finish the game of get bored with it. A few particular games stood out for me, such as Toyko Xtreme Racer 1&2 for Dreamcast, and with those games, I'll invest much more time.

However, of all the Need For Speeds, Forzas, Grand Turismos, Sega GT's, Midnight Club Racers, etc....none of them have come CLOSE to the enjoyment that is Project Gotham 3

To be honest, the first 2 PGR's did not appeal to me. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I was turned off by this whole Kudos twist, as I told myself that I wanted to race to win, not for style points. So when the 3rd installment came around, I wasn't really waiting on it like others. When I got my 360, I picked up Call of Duty 2 (which I love). However, I needed another game, and when I read the review on PGR3 on this site, I decided to try it once and for all. Also, the cockpit mode looking fantastic, so I picked up a copy.

That was probably the best decision I have ever made in terms of gaming. I have logged nearly 50 hours on the game alone to this day, and I have completed the entire game twice (on normal, then on hard) and I am halfway toward my platinum medals. I have touched lightly on the extensive online features, but theres so much to do in game that I am not quite at that point.

The actual driving gameplay is the best I have ever played, beautifully mixing arcade and sim to make it enjoyable time after time. Graphics, sound, replay vaule - all top notch.

Truly, this is the ultimate racer. If you consider yourself a racing fan, do yourself a big favour - pick up PGR3
