    PG3, best console racing game?

    We may have a new king on our hands as far as racing goes. I have played pretty much every series of racing on consoles from the beginning of gaming, and boy am I impressed with what I have seen with this title. Prior to this, WoO and Toca 2 took the crown, but this is shaping up to be among them. Now, real life physics arent exactly on point here, but they werent in Toca or WoO for that matter (Toca especially). PG has always been a fun series, especially on live, and this year, live is going to rock out with this title. What really sets it apart though is the attention to detail. Listen to the sounds of the cars in the videos, they sound amazingly accurate, shifting even sounds perfect, which has always been a problem with me (down shifitng that is). When Toca 3 drops, it may overtake the console title, but as of now, this may have it hands down.

    isn't PG3 more arcade (I thought I remember you could bounce off the other cars and stuff)...though arcade is fun (I love Burnout), I'm not sure I could compare sim vs. arcade racing, two different things.

      The overall handling of the car on the road leans more toward sim. Getting back on the track after running off it (Nurburgring circuits), the actual collisions, and regaining control of the car after a collision leans toward arcade.

        Im not saying it has to be a sim to be the best racing game. Toca is far from a sim in its handling, but does throw alot of sim based qualities in there (especially going off road at times). Im saying as a complete package, we may be looking at the best overall racing game on a console, in terms of gameplay, online, graphics and sound. Im hoping the offline AI is very tough, as this will make the game for me.

          ign gave it a 8.8. Said it looked good, but not revolutionary, still plays the same as before. Thats a little disheartening, as I was hoping they would make it a little more sim based and the AI tougher. But, IGN is not known for good reviews, so i will wait and see in a few days.

            I've never played a PGR, so it'll all be new to me.

            Woohoo!

              In my opinion PGR3 is the new king. Awesome game.
