GHOSTS
&
LEADERBOARDS
Ghosts
A Ghost, which is a replay of a previous race or Kudos event,
appears as a semi-transparent image of a car that races at the
same time you do. Your car can pass through the Ghost image
without crashing.
PGR 3 automatically saves a Ghost of your best performance in
each event, and you can always load the Ghost to race against it
and challenge yourself to new heights.
Why would you use a Ghost? Race against your friends’ Ghosts to
learn how they drove and which car they used to set a fast lap and
get the most Kudos. Then, upload your Ghost to show them who’s
the better driver.
With Xbox Live, you can always race a Ghost of the world’s best
performance for any event in Online Career mode.
Leaderboards
The Leaderboards keep track of Kudos earned both in Gotham
Career mode and on Xbox Live. If you are connected to Xbox Live,
you can check the Leaderboards before each race to see the top
players’ results (and where you rank, if you’ve previously completed
that event).
After a race, the Leaderboards are updated automatically, so you
can see how you compare to the top drivers. If you finish in the
top 10, your Ghost will be automatically uploaded to the Xbox
Live Leaderboards.
DRIVING
VIEWS
PGR 3 features five different driving views. To switch among the
views while driving, press the left and right bumpers on your Xbox
360 controller.
Chase Far and Chase Near Views
Chase Far is the default driving view in
PGR 3. Both Chase Far and
Chase Near views are helpful for beginners, because you can see
how your car is responding to your driving. For example, is your
tail sliding out when you take a turn quickly?
On-Car High and On-Car Low Views
On-Car High and On-Car Low are the preferred views of hardcore
PGR 3 racers, In these views, your car isn’t visible, but your
tachometer, speedometer, and current gear indicator are
displayed on the HUD.
Dash View
As its name implies, Dash view, which is new to
PGR 3, gives you
a through-the-windshield view of the track ahead, along with a view
of your car’s interior and dashboard, including your gloved hands
on the wheel.
