This game is awsome. You really get a sense of speed because of the sounds of the engine. I dont think the graphics could be really any better. The cars are ones that you could probably just see on the road if you went to the grocery store right now, but I think that's an awsome part of this game. So, if the game is so great, why only 4 stars? Well, thats because I could do without the license mode and you have to go through too many races with a car that isnt very good at all before you can get a car like a Mustang SVT Cobra. But thats ok, because all the rest of this game is sweet. So i highly reccomend to get this game. Its the best game I own for PS2 and i have like 8 of them. So, buy it from here or somewhere else, cuz i gauruntee if you have any desire at all to race exotic cars through cool courses that youll be addicted to this game!!

Im going to go through this by category....

Gameplay: Amazing! the braking, handling, and acceleration of each of the individual cars is so realistic. Although it takes some time to get used to, it is great. Being that it is a racing simulation, you cant go around the track without letting go of the gas like you could in Crazy taxi or other arcade style games. GT3 requires a certain amout of skill, but not to the point where it is impossible to win a race on the "normal" difficulty setting.

Graphics: Best out of any game ive ever seen. The lighting alone is breathtaking. Watching the sunset and seeing the way the reflections of trees differ when the sun is hidden is so real looking. And the cars themselves look real. Someone could easily mistake this game for an actual race being broadcast.

Sound: First of all - great music. Motley Crue, Powerman 5000, Jimi Hendrix, etc... secondly, the effects are amazing. the engines all differ and sound very real. and in my opinion the best display of brilliance in this gameis when you are rally racing, with the in-car veiw...you can hear the wind shift through the speakers as you powerslide. Such detail.

Overall: Best PS2 game out right now. Some people may complain about the relatively low number of cars (approx. 150) compared to past Gran Turismo games. This due to the lengthly process of creating the games cars. In the past the cars could be created very quickly, but in this game, cars took over a week a paice to create due to the 2,000 - 4,000 polygons that make up each cars. but what paople forget is that THERE IS 150 CARS IN THE GAME. thats a lot. so.....BUY IT

when i first saw this game i was in awh. the graphics are dabomb. there is nothing better except for real life. there was a couple of things that i didn't like. you couldn't get a racing modification for the cars. the replays looked a little slow. and not enough cars, but i can understand that because it took them so long for them just to make one car. i haven't bought the gt3 wheel yet but i plan on it. this is the best racing game i have ever played.

This is the best racing game made for any console. The engine didn't have to change. The vastness of the games sells it. All Doom type games have (more or less) the same engine, but the game sells because it improves in gameplay. More guns players and multi play. Gt3 is a prime example of this, only they did change the engine. The reason that the reviews for Gt3 have been outstanding in every mag is because it is amazing, outstanding, and impressive. If you don't like cars don't buy it. If you want a second rate gaming system go and buy Dreamcast. Otherwise snatch up Gt3 A-Spec fast...!

...well worth it!

I enjoyed playing Gran Turismo 1 and 2, and, in their time, was amazed by their graphics and attention to detail, so I am not surprised to be amazed again. I am a car buff, and this game quenches my thirst for speed, you can drive almost any high performane car out there, and quite a few yawn-enducing cars, but you don't have to buy them. One cool thing about it is, during the replay, you can set it so the replay goes to the beat of a certain song on the cd, or to zoom in on any close action, etc! With my little 3000GT, I made a replay worthy to put on the TV as a commercial for that car!

I have only 3 minor gripes with this game. 1: The number of cars you can buy are much less than in GT1 or GT2. In GT2, you go to the Dodge dealer and they had everything from the Neon to the Stratus to the Viper, but here, only 3 differant Vipers. 2: There is no damage to your car. I can understand this however, because Sony had to get permission from these car companies to put their cars in this game, and these companies didn't want their cars to be show in a way other than perfection. 3: The soundtrack is not as enjoyable as the GT2 soundtrack was. Sure, they have some Papa Roach, Powerman 5000 and Methods of Meyham, but no song on this cd really gives me the NEED FOR SPEED.

All in all though, a almost perfect game with awesome graphics and realistic car handling. Like cars? Buy this game!

Best Racing Game out there!

It is the best racing game out there, and nothing else even come close to it. It is as realistic as you can get without getting into a car, but if you just want to floor the gas all the time and make tight 90 deg. turn all the time at 120 mph, then GT3 is not your game.

The physics is better than before, and so is the graphic. However, I have to said I expected a little more due to all the hype about the game. It is a lot harder to make money in GT3, because they don't give you a new car everytime you win a series, only the very first time. So it take a lot longer to get enough money to get the car you want.

If you can afford a Force Feedback wheel, BUY it. It worth every penny. It is harder to control, but makes the racing expenices so much more realistic.

Over all, the game didn't disappoint me at all, and I think it really lived up to its reputation. It will probably be the smartest [money] you spend on a game.

Best Racing Game Ever!!!

The game is great except for the handling. It's awful. It's nothing like the real thing at all except for the rally cars. Well I guess the handling is the same as GT2 but I didn't want to believe it.

Grand! Tourismo 3 (GT3)

This is the big daddy of all racing games. Best racing game ever made. Get it while you can, if you have a buddy or two, then you can link the playstation 2s and avoid the split screen. Tons of tracks, cars, and racing options.

+++++++++++++a must have for racing fans++++++++++++++++++++ I would give 6 out of 5 stars!
