actually its possible to produce motionblur within Pro... all you do is take the backbuffer frame and ghost it on a plane attached to the camera - most graphics cards will bitch at you or run quite slowly, but is possible and a very simple effect
i do have much better and more accurate ways to produce it too within pro, but thats the simplist to explain.
no one mentioned the physics because TR doesn't have any ... none at all... completely ZERO physics.
unless you count detrimental angular collision - which is actually shown exactly howto do within the help file.
Car Physics is another thing that so many have tried ... but most work from a certain frame of referance, and it isn't that hard to reproduce from simple math and simple physics equasions - now physics identical to GTA3, then really you'd be wanting something else because the GTA3 team didn't design the physics they used a well know physics engine for it.
Really what your looking at is, yes the more complex game are actually easier with something like Professional to the Classics, however the point in learning the classics isn't for what easier - which is what most of ya'll seem to have missed.
Its about learning the techniques for simple games development so you can move on ... then when you DO want to create something of similar standing to GTA3 it doesn't seem like a "OMG how the hell am i to do that?" ... it'll be "Well i used this in this game, and i think if i combine it with this kind of function then i think it should be pretty simple to flip the car over

"
remember your not learning things just because your to take things slowly - believe it or not your learning to take that knowlage onto the next step...
this is why most people who come in with the idea and gumption to create the next Final Fantasy will give up - because once who hit that brick wall it's unlikely you'll understand a way around it or to knock it down.
sorry but to program properly its not how many functions you know, but your experience with them - that allows you to be a creative and good programmer
