Project Gotham Racing 3 was released in 2005 as a launch game for Microsoft's Xbox 360 games console. Bizarre Creations once again found ourselves in the position to reap the rewards of being there for launch, but facing punishing schedules and rapidly approaching release deadlines was always going to be tough for the development team. Despite these challenges, PGR3 was released on time and to critical acclaim, winning awards such as IGN's Best Driving Game, and Gamespot's Best Xbox 360 game.

PGR3's five locations (London, Las Vegas, Tokyo, New York, and the Nurburgring) are the most detailed environments we've ever built here at Bizarre, and likewise the cars in the game are equally as well represented. In a first for console games, the interiors of the cars are accurately modelled (seats, dashboards, wing mirrors, radios, everything), and a detailed in-car view allows gamers to literally drive using the working dials on the dash!

The PGR3 community has been Bizarre's strongest game following yet; with literally thousands of gamers taking part in scheduled tournaments and watching each other race on Gotham TV (the online spectator service; a first of its kind on games consoles). Also, Photo Mode has been used a lot to capture people's favourite moments in the game, with many of these screenshots making their way onto our forums!
