Have you ever driven a Maserati MC12 in the streets of LA? Have you experienced 200 mph on the Brooklyn Bridge? Well, this is your chance.
Warning! If you are a fan of turtle, snail, or old lady racing, then please step away from the computer screen. Traveling 7333 times FASTER than the average garden snail is what Project Gotham Racing is all about. (I really did the math!)
The short career mode of PGR3 ranges in difficulty from effortless to the equivalent of teaching your pet turtle to ace your least favorite teacher's math test. (Note to self: Teach Franklin to pass algebra.) The steel medals will come easily while the hardcore platinum medals are nearly impossible to earn, especially if you are a beginner. By winning career mode races, you will earn credits with which you can buy faster cars.
Eighty cars come with PGR3. (How did they all fit in the disk?) At the moment, 12:07 PM on Monday, July 17 in the year of 2006 AD, there are multiple cars available on the XBL marketplace. They can be purchased individually or as a bundle. Every car in PGR3 is a high performance, licensed vehicle. Each car is grouped in a class from A to E, A being the best and E being the worst. These 'worst' cars are still great and include the Corvette ZR-1 and the Aston Martin DB9.
Taking PGR3 online is great fun. Playing real people is a whole new experience. You can play the average street race, or take it to the next level with games like cone capture or cat and mouse. One problem with PGR3's online play is the long wait times to find a game in online career mode. In the time it takes to find a game, I could write, produce, and sell a documentary on annoying wait times.
Everybody loves gamerscore points! I have just over 5000 of the little guys as of 7/06. PRG3's points are tough. You will have to earn every last one. Some of them are even impossible because of glitches in the game.
The 2000 character limit, now a 46 character limit, won't let me finish this re
