Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Excels at being both a brilliant showpiece of the power of Microsoft's new console as well as a thoroughly enjoyable racer. »
« An amazing visual treat and though the gameplay may feel a bit too similar to "Project Gotham Racing 2" in a number of ways, the overall experience can be summed up in two words: simply incredible. »
« With stellar Xbox Live integration and an almost infinite number of ways to play the game Project Gotham Racing 3 is the definition of what next-gen gaming should be. »
« Project Gotham 3 is the best overall racing game I've seen. Pretty much my final answer! »
« Saying this game looks nearly photorealistic is no understatement, as throughout most of the race, it could pass as just that. »
« The visuals and immersion [are] simplly amazing in this game. The graphics are incredibly impressive, something unmatched by any other game. »
« PGR3 stays close to the concept that made the first two a hit and gives us more online flavor with a major boost to the graphics and audio. »
« Amazing graphics and sound coupled with tight, addictive gameplay – not to mention a plethora of amazing dream roadsters to earn and collect – means hours upon hours of fun for the discerning gamer. »

« PGR3 is my least favourite Project Gotham game. By no means a bad game to play through and it can still provide some entertainment, but given that both 3 and 4 can be had for <£10 now, if you’re deciding between the two then buy 4. PGR3’s career mode is relatively linear and there isn’t the sense of progression 4 has - you’re able to pick a quick car to begin with, and there isn’t much incentive to use anything else throughout. This is something recent Forza games have come under fire for, and rightly so - it defeats the purpose of the game. PGR3 also has a strange difficulty curve, particularly on the cone and kudos-based challenges. I found gold to be fairly unchallenging in most of these events while platinum was near impossible - almost equivalent to the difficulty level of PGR4’s Platinum Plus DLC. With that said, there’s still a lot to like - for a launch title, PGR3 still looks pretty good and has that familiar physics magic only Bizarre Creations were capable of. Arcade is still a fun mode to play through, and the showroom features are still a novel way to display your collection. My conclusion - if it’s sitting on your shelf and you haven’t played it for a while, give PGR3 a go - it’s still able to provide plenty of challenge and entertainment. If you’re going out and buying one game from the franchise, get 4. It has aged better. »
« Pioneer in its genre with circuit in real streets. He gave a kick in graphics, speed and gameplay to PS3 Gran Turismo »
« Continuing the series from the original Xbox, all the improvements you'd expect are present and correct, the kudos system of progression works well for all skill levels and the handling is a really nice blend of simulation and arcade fun. Still one of the best racers on the Xbox, even now. »
« Beautiful graphics, nice city design and great driving fun. A must have for every racing fan! Overall rating: 8.9. »
« Project Gotham Racing 3 is one of the best racing games ever made. Absolute Gem »
« What do i say about this game, i don't mind simulation racers, i prefer arcade, but simulation is fun aswell, however this game ****, it's all slow paced, stiff and souless. »
« PGR3 was good but not better than its predecessor. Graphics obviously got upgraded since it was on the 360 but over all it fell flat compared to PGR2 but it was still good. »
« Quite possibly the best racer ever released for the Xbox 360, and a launch title at that. The game's visuals are impressive even in 2020, some 15 years after launch, and regardless of whether you're playing with a pad or a stock 360 controller, the game is both sublime to drive and the AI puts up an extremely good fight. Bizarre Creations gambled with including a vehicle roster of only the fastest supercars and concept cars in the world at the time, and it results in being able to drive cars that in some cases never appeared in another video game ever again - such as the Ford Indigo or GT90. The lone issue holding the game back is the track selection; just five locations are available, and both Vegas and New York feature generally uninteresting layouts. »
