PGR 3 roses av Gamespot

[Doogle]

De synes singleplayer er litt for kort (men de har bare fullført 'silver'-rankingen - regner med at det fort går noen timer ekstra å klare alle challengene til 'gold' for de som ønsker å finpusse på tider og teknikk), men påpeker at det jo primært er online som gjelder.

 

When creating (online) matches from scratch, you have three modes to choose from: street race, eliminator, and capture the track (along with team versions of street race and eliminator)...

 

...Online performance was silky smooth in our test sessions with the game--we didn't notice any sort of lag or warping of vehicles

 

Nürburgring blir nok det som skiller klinten fra hveten - eller guttene fra mennene om du vil :

 

The Nürburgring, this time featuring a behemoth version of the legendary German course, which combines the full 13-mile Nordschliefe with the modern-day F1 circuit...

 

Gamespot er spesielt begeistret for in-car viewen:

 

It's no exaggeration to call the sense of speed and kinetic energy generated by this viewpoint a visceral thrill unlike practically anything we've ever played. Off the line, your car shudders under the forces of its massive acceleration; in high-speed turns, you'll watch as your car struggles under the forces acting upon it, while your "driver" viewpoint jostles independently because your virtual head is struck by those same energies. The windshields alone are a wonder--multifaceted reflection effects combine with the grime that gathers on the windows to really put you "in" the car...

 

...Each of the game's 80 cars features a stunningly authentic interior that places you directly in the driver's seat. Driving in a McLaren F1 LM, for example, will place you in the car's unique center-seat setup, with rearview mirrors at both corners of the cockpit. The F1 style paddle gearshifts you'd find in a real Ferrari 355 GTS are also in the game. Look down at your feet in the McLaren F1 and you'll see your virtual driver's feet working the gas and brake as you drive along. It's great stuff.

 

Og lyden er selvfølgelig tipp topp:

 

And as good as it looks, PGR 3's audio package is even better. The soundtrack alone is nearly worth the price of admission--it's an eclectic mixture that mixes bubbly J-Pop with sultry bhangra and elegant classical (along with the requisite electronica, hip-hop, and rock tracks). The soundtrack is a welcome addition to the vanilla playlists of most racing games...

 

...the intricately modeled car engines have a sweet melody all their own. The hollow roar of the Ferraris, the whining protest of the Aston Martins, the sheer menace of the McLaren F1 LM--without exception, each entry in PGR 3's car lineup sounds as good as they look, especially when enjoyed through a Dolby 5.1 setup with a nice, beefy subwoofer.

Anbefaler forøvrig video-utgaven av omtalen der ting som de snakker om illustreres med videoklipp (riktignok ikke i all verdens kvalitet) underveis.

Jepp. Har ikke spilt de foregående PGR spillene. Skal definitivt plukke opp PGR 3. Har ventet litt på Gamespot sin dom. Han som anmelder det sier også i videoen at at PGR er det beste launch spiller for Xbox360. Klart, det er jo bare hans mening. Men det virker bra i alle fall.
