Project Gotham Racing 3

This game is an arcade racer, but not TOO arcade. It does how ever encourage bad $$$ driving, but doesn't feel like you are ripping apart the laws of physics while you are doing so. Looks great and the cars are great.

PGR 3 is the most beautiful, immersive racing game ever (at time of writing). Not only are the cars and environments exquisitely detailed, but the cockpit view is incredible. You can even look around inside and see your side mirrors get cracked! The soundtrack is awesome, with Rock, Classical, Bhangrala, male J-pop, and other cool radio stations. Collecting all of the gorgeous cars will take you hours and hours, and the online features can\'t be beat. The load times are excessive, but it\'s worth it.
