PGR 3 is beautiful but it's not much fun.
There is no real story to this game, just like many other racing games. Buy cars, earn types of cash, win championships, earn style points, and....buy cars. Nothing too special. The controls are pretty basic. Like many racing games on consoles, the R button is to accelerate, the L button is to brake, and so on. Sadly, there is very, very, VERY limited customization to your vehicles. Wow, you can change the colour!!! The game can be quite challenging, depending on what difficulty you choose for each challenge. I think this is a good feature, because there are five difficulties, and you can change them every race, so it offers a lot of variety. The traction on the faster cars is terrible, but the steering is nice, nothing too slow or too bulky. I gave it a seven because of how repetitive and boring single player gets, and how there isn't a lot to the game, just.....winning championships.
Graphics: 10/10.
I must say, the graphics are amazing, simply amazing, even without a high-definition television. (HDTV) The scenery looks fantastic, the cars look shiny, sleek, and sweet. Even the tire marks on the road look realistic!
Sound: 7/10
The sound in this game is good you really feel like your driving a car just from the sound, but the sound track in this game is crap it goes from emo poser punk to mozart...
Value: 8/10
There is an online mode but it can really bring you back to the **** talking days of halo 2 people will pick the fastest car in each class and just try to spin you out of control. There are lots of diffrent difficultys and hard achievements so you might want to keep coming back for more.
FINAL SCORE: 7.9/10
I would recomend this game to racing fans and for people with HD-TVs who want to show off the 360's power. This game atleast deserves a rent.
