3.0 out of 5 stars I'm not sorry I bought it, but..., February 16, 2006

This review is from: Project Gotham Racing 3 (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback)

What's missing is basics for those new to racing games, like even fundamental driving techniques, let alone advanced techniques. The writers assumed that the reader had already had experience with PGR2.

It is also limited to providing advice for the "career" mode of play, and not to Playtime, nor the setting up of private Xbox Live sessions with friends. As is usual with such books, the promotional words overhype their own achievements. "Unbeatable online tips" - really?? I think not.

But the car list is helpful as a checklist of what is missing in your garages when you are going for the "own all cars" medal.

And the list of tracks is again helpful as a reminder of key features. The maps of the tracks are fuzzy and very little help in planning the drive.

As I said above, I'm not sorry I bought it, but the cover led me to expect better.

Augment this book with searches in online forums, where PGR3 players post useful stuff that is outside the scope of this book, like "How to earn the Style Racer achievement" (Google this!)
