You will be addicted from the moment you load the disc!
Pros: Excellent graphics, ESPECIALLY if you have an HDTV. From the static artwork to the dynamic animations, Microsoft has really outdone themselves. The in-car cockpit view is one of the best views I've seen in a racing game bringing a very real sense of realism. Sound is great, not over the top but each car has it's own unique sounds. Fun, easy to connect to multiplayer. Lots of music choices from classical to rock to techno to your own custom playlists. Whatever mood you're in, you shouldn't have any problems finding something to groove to.
Cons: The career mode takes you through the various courses but it seems relatively short and very repetitive. The damage modeling is very limited and doens't seem to affect your car anyway. Most of the tracks are city based with only one road course. Would be nice to see more courses.
Overall, PGR3 will keep you glued to the TV for hours, building your rank off and online. The unlocking of cars in single player mode brings mixed reactions for many. 8 players can race online which seems a little low for a console like the 360. There is a custom track editor and music playlist editor. Many games were rushed for the 360 launch with lack of content. With lessons learned from PGR3, PGR4 will be a fun sim!
