I actually ignore most reviews on the 360 these days, and although im sure halo fanboys are going flame me but there is NO way halo3 deserved the 95%-100% that so many gave it.

MS are sending small cash filled envelopes out i tellz ya, i hate the PS3 as its a overpriced paper weight but i can see why sony fans flame halo and MS so much, theres defiantly something fishy going on.
Hell halo3 is rated higher then Halflife 2 and anyone even halo fans have to admit thats retarded

I still haven't played the copy of PGR3 that came with my wheel.

FLANKER 5 · 03-10-2007, 04:30 PM

saw a commercial for this game it looked really cool....if only i had a wheel

I just got forza 2 the other day for my birthday, but with halo 3 nobody is going to buy or play a new game for a while. Except for xxRPGGAMEMANxx who is the biggest anti Halo person ever. Isn't that right?

XShadowNinjaX · 03-10-2007, 05:34 PM

they made a fourth one?

LOL he has been playing eternal sonata lol

I've been playing PGR 3 but cannot get used to the wheel so i gave that back and used the controller instead.

Its ok i suppose not 'amazing' but a good game especially when playing live.

I doubt i'd bu PGR 4 though and yes its released in the UK on October 12th.

Boost King · 04-10-2007, 11:48 PM

PGR4 in Australia, October 10th.

I preordered it, cause I love car racing games, I own PGR 1, 2 & 3, plus Forza.

Its a great game, I liked number 3. PGR4 has been rather quiet because of all the noise, with Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Forza 2, GTA4, I mean, where can you fit in PGR? I think Bizzare make good games, so I'd expect it to be good.

You may as well get it cause who knows what direction Bizzare is going, I heard they sold out to another company, Activision I beleive (dont quote me).

So fingers crossed it does well.
Again, I'm not expecting huge leaps and bounds. We are up to the 4th instalment, so business as usual I expect. If they go radically different, it could be successfull or flop. I do know they've added bikes, lets hope these are better than TDU's attempt at Bikes. They've also introduced weather, so that would be sweet if it actually works too. So thats all I know.

As for the wheel, the wheels first game designed to be used was Forza. MS wanted to launch wheel bundled with Forza 2 but because Forza 2 got delayed, they notched up a revamp of PGR3 to support the wheel. Essentially is was crap, the car flew everywhere and the wheel was too sensitive. You couldn't even keep the car straight while attempting to drive in a straight line.

I heard its very good with Forza. I bought the MS wheel, but took it back because of my experience with PGR3.

The wheel is the only way to go with Forza if your a racing guru such as myself. PGR4 is probably just a rental for me. I don't even have Halo3 yet so it's definitely not on the top of my list.

05-10-2007, 12:45 PM

they clearly never heard of AA. its like watching little staircases drive around

xxrpggamemanxx · 06-10-2007, 02:46 PM

Wow... I see I'm talked about while I'm not around! Thanks guys, but anyways. I have PGR4. The single player is ok. A little easy especially if you use bikes and do tricks and stuff. The multiplayer is so much fun if you can find the right group of people who just joke around and stuff. Don't get me wrong though, the serious racing can also be just as fun. Also there are team based ranked racing events which are fun.

How's the weather feature?

Pretty cool! It's hard to find an online room where there isn't any weather in effect xD. Snow is probably my favorite. Everyone slides and crashes. Icy is about the same as snow except the road it self isn't as slippery but there are small ice patches that are very slippery. Havn't really played much with rain though.

Boost King · 07-10-2007, 06:24 PM

What about the bikes? Are they any good, or crap like in TDU?

Boost

xxrpggamemanxx · 07-10-2007, 09:09 PM

I personally love the bikes. Sadly they fall prey to the assholes on live who think it's so cool to crash you while your on one!

KiladuBz · 07-10-2007, 09:14 PM

have they added damage to the cars? or is it strickly arcade-based racing? i was considering buying it (mainly cause of the bikes), but i could live without it. if theres not much difference maybe i should just pick up pgr3 for $20.
