Project Gotham Racing 3

We tinkered with the Xbox 360 at DigitalLife in NYC, and played a demo build of Project Gotham Racing 3.  Initially, it was hard to get really excited about a racing game for a next gen console, but fans of the preceding games will tell you that the PGR series is nothing to scoff at.  I can say first hand that this title is stunning in just about every aspect.  It was unbelievable listening to my iPod songs right on the racetrack.  Yeah, I know the current Xbox allows you to customize soundtracks, but there is no importing or modding necessary – just plug it in.  As a resident of New York, I can tell you that PGR3 got the entire Brooklyn Bridge area 100% accurate - down to the scaffolding in lower Manhattan.  What even more stunning is that there are more polygons on the Brooklyn Bridge than an entire level in PGR2.  The photo mode is absolutely phenomenal.  You can even adjust the shutter speed of the camera to show you whizzing by or at a great focus.  Additionally, while in this mode, I couldn’t find even two people in the crowd that were the same.  Look for this game to stun you at launch. Check out one more image after the jump.
