Project Gotham Racing 3!

The latest in the popular arcade racer known as PGR has arrived, but will it live up to the standards set by previous games in the series?

First Impressions: Whenever possible, we try to give our loyal website viewers the most video footage and most in depth unbiased reviews imaginable. Part of that development is our "initial impressions" where we offer up our first impressions of the title that we are playing.

This gives our website visitors more of clear understanding of what to first expect out of the game when they initially pop it into their consoles.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page in the Rent vs. Buy section of the review and do not see the "final impressions" assessment then it's safe to say that you are reading our initial impression of the game. Once the final impression is up, there will be no further video or review done to that particular title.

Final Impressions: The final impression is just that, our completed breakdown and overall thoughts on the game based off of our entire game playing time.

You can locate the final impressions assessment in the "Rent vs. Buy" section of the review (always located at the very end of all of our reviews). Here you will be able to read our final thoughts on the title and also see any potential grade changes that were made to the game as well (higher or lower). Should a grading change occur, it will be clearly noted with the previous grade, the new grade, and why the change occurred.

Although this approach is more time consuming and requires many more man hours, our entire goal has always been to provide the best and completely unbiased reviews possible and we feel that the inclusion of the Initial Impressions and Final Impressions sections will give you a better view of what to expect from a new game.

All that we ask in return is for you to continue to support Krakrabbit.com by visiting the site and letting others know about our cause. Together we can supply our fellow gamers with the most impartial information so they can make an informed decision on whether to buy or rent this particular title.

Go Around, Come Around, Go Around, Come Around: The PGR games have always been a pretty decent playthrough, and you always wanted to buy or unlock that last car, but that all changes with this latest adaptation. As always, you buy a starter car with a 100,000 or so credits, then win races to earn money and unlock more cars, racing lap after lap after lap. But, a problem lies in this formula. The idea of racing race after race was fine...in 2001.

Time Flies When You're...Racing All Day: Seven years have passed since PGR saw the light of day, but nowadays the concept of endless racing is boring. The PGR series gets VERY repetitive in a short amount of time, because arcadey style racing is unappealing to me, but this game was made FOR arcade race lovers.

Rent vs. Buy: While the more hardcore race fan won't find this game interesting in the least bit, arcade-racing fans will feel right at home. There are absolutely no customazation options in this game, just tracks and jaw-dropingly beautiful cars that shine in the sunlight.

I usually wouldn't recommend this game to anyone besides arcade racing fans, but I think anyone should pick this up just because the game is so cheep. At thirty bucks, this is a solid game for anyone with a need for speed.
