Okay i'll explain the situation:

Before the 360 was launched i was priviliged enough to go to 2 gameshows where they we're showing the 360 behind closed doors. I managed to get in there and be one of the lucky few to touch and play on a 360. I played some of the preview builds of Tiger woods, Need for speed and Perfect Dark. I posted 2 big threads on here explaining my thoughts about the games i checked out.

Now the weird thing is I played Need for speed most wanted on the 360 and on the xbox and if u would look in my impressions you can see that i thought they sucked BIG TIME. It felt driving a lawnmower and the sense of speed was totally gone. I suggested not to even touch this game.

A couple of months later i can't understand how EA could've made such a beatiful game out one of the dumbest beta builds i've ever touched. It almost looks like they made a completely different game and it was made by another developer. I've played it over a friends house this weekend and I was blown away by it. I even dare to say that if i knew this game was so great i wouldn't even have bought pgr3.... I mean this game looks/plays/feels superb. I don't know if manager or blim or plumb have had the same experience (they've also seen the beta builds), i just think this game is amazing.... (and i'm gonna get it this week :D)

mmm weird i played it this weekend at my friends we played it at 1080p on his pioneer HD plasma tv and man did it look awesome, no stutter whatsoever and i think the textures aren't all that bad, but hey everybody got a different taste.

It's just this game has become much better than i expected, the visuals are superb and i can't believe how cool the police chases are (the best need for speed was Hot persuit, but after playing this i changed my mind :D). Customization is a little bit different then the underground series (you can't tweak your car that deep anymore) but i don't care, i luv it :D

PGR3's strength is online.

Guess it depends on what kind of gamer you are. 95% of my game time is online--I don't even bother playing the SP in most games because in most games the AI is horrible and the game is just cheesy with no real depth or replay. Real humans are more interactive and difficult (minus tard factor).

What you like depends where you replay value comes from. Everyone games for different reasons.

well there i got a different opinion again, look pgr3 overal was ok , good graphics, nice gameplay (singleplayer pretty boring) and multiplayer started to get on my nerves: it was more about who could bumb the other players the best, it wasn't about the racing anymore, ok with friends it's kinda fun, but i gotta tell ya i'm more of an fps/rpg/action type of gamer..
haven't tried nfs online yet though.. dunno how that's like..


But back to the main topic again, is there anyone who has seen/played the beta builds and also agree with me that this game has become like a totally different (and ALLOT better) then what they we're working on a month or so before launch...

hahah okay i thought u had, my bad :D
