Forget starting with a car as old as your Grandma and racing towards that red hot Ferrari, Project Gotham Racing gives you 85 grand to get you moving. You'll soon discover however, there's fast, and then there's eye-watering warp-speed world-blurring fast. PGR 3 contains the ultimate supercar collection with more than 80 authentically modeled supercars from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Dodge, and Lamborghini with fully modeled interiors, functioning dashboards and individually recorded engine roars. There's nine concept cars waiting to be unlocked, and you can store and display your previous wheels in one of your many garages. As in past titles, it's not just about how fast you drive in PRG, it's about how you drive. Powersliding, getting airtime, staying on the racing line, drifting, or even pulling off a 360 or getting up on two wheels will earn you Kudos points. There's a total of 16 different ways to rack up the points and the higher you set the difficulty, the more you earn.

Bizarre took over 22,000 reference photographs and 10 hours of video to create the five cities, Las Vegas, Nurburgring, Tokyo, London, and New York. To compare with the past, in PGR 3 New York's Brooklyn Bridge on its own is made from more polygons than an entire city was back in the original PGR. You only need to look at the screenshots to see this has come closer than any game to achieving true photorealistic environments. Also impressive is that Bizarre finally delivered on a promise made back on Metropolis Street Racer for the Dreamcast, to have cities full of life with fully 3D motion captured crowds. You can also design your own racing routes through the streets, and face off online against up to 7 friends and foes in Street Races, Cone Challenges, Speed Contests and more. Gotham TV lets you show off in front of a global online audience, and with it you can watch any player in the world, get live ticker-tape information when friends break records, and see archived races from the very best players. So strap on your racing gloves because the Japanese edition of PGR 3 is due to arrive this Thursday for those with an Xbox 360 system coming from the land of the rising sun. In the meantime though, we still have copies of the US game available and rearing to go right now.
