[quote name='phantomfriar2002']PGR3 looks great but it is most definitely a "hard core" racing game. If you found PGR2 difficult I would stay away from this. Online is also filled with the biggest group of cry-babies on all of Xbox Live -- if you so much as even accidentally scratch another car going around a turn you'll never hear the end of it!

I think that's mostly in the ranked matches. If you go to the Playtime public rooms, people are less likely to have their panties in a bunch, especially if you race with a bunch of people you know. Hell, there's a new mode out in the public rooms (Cat & Mouse) that encourages you to bump, grind, and spin out your opponents.
