Le contenu est également trop faiblard et l'ensemble du jeu souffre d'une anémie inquiétante : mou et chiant, il ne propose que des voix anglaises et une expérience globale des plus désagréables. Un épisode de la "célèbre" licence trop paresseux et bâclé pour s'y attarder, ce serait une totale perte de temps.… Expand

    Compare driving the cars in CMR3 to the rally cars in GT3, and see which game feels realistic - Gran Turismo wins hands down! The cars in CMR3 have no apparent mass and turn in very strange ways. There really is very little feeling of the cars' physics, and the views are a let down - it is very hard to place the wings (fenders) in relation to the terrain when you choose any of the Compare driving the cars in CMR3 to the rally cars in GT3, and see which game feels realistic - Gran Turismo wins hands down!

    what a rubbish game! the font is tiny and barely readable, before starting a simple race there are several loads that take a while the gameplay of the car is rotten.

    Colin 2005 is light years ahead of this sh*t

    Codies made too many changes from CMR2 (the front end and in-service menus) and not enough (the graphics!) at the same time.

    The physics, sense of speed, handling and graphics are dazzling, top-notch effects that rocket this game to the top of the heap. On the other hand, the sheer lack of game modes is disturbing.

    That, combined with the absorbing way the game draws you into the season, through neat animations and an impossibly stylish menu system, makes this the motor sport title to own - for purists and weekend drivers alike.
