You can tell that the people who made it cut corners and didnt take their time. This game is very old and crappy. When you're driving in a car and want to turn the car spins out and you fall back to last place. If you collect racing games or something like that, get it. But, if youre just a casual gamer, dont waste your money.
It does not have as many cars as the newer ones but it has tons compared to other racing games. This is just like any other grand turismo games, it is hard and it takes forever to beat the game. The background is really good too. This is the first one on ps2 so the graphics r allot better than other ps2 games. It has many songs on it but i only like one of them. There r many cars to choose from and the multiplayer is really fun. That is about it for this game but it has a great multiplayer and really good graphics.
But the comparison between this game and the new GT5 prologue is amazing. Ok, it's 2008 at the time of this review and this game is super old. The graphics seemed so amazing when GT3 came out, and now you almost feel bad for the game as you watch the pixelated cars make their way around the track. So why did I just buy it a few months ago. I got it for my PS3, and yes it works fine on a PS3. Still, the game is fun and if you have an old PS2 unit, you need to own this game as well as GT4. GT4 doesn't work well on PS3, which is why I bought this one, by the way.
When going through the various tracks I never felt compelled to look at the environments around me solely for the fact that they were so boring. Another problem; the absence of a sense of speed. But then it's like when you look at a movie star on an HDTV, and you see its appalling horrors that lie within it. Problem #5; crappy multiplayer.
For example; when turning a corner you will notice how you can't seem to keep your vehicle on the road, and it constantly slips and swerves like you're driving in snow. Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec tries to hide its craptacular and atrocious gameplay with the looks of a gorgeous racer. Problem #4; crappy career mode. So, then he took the game out of his PS2 and put in Kingdom Hearts. When I was driving I never felt the sense of speed that should be in racers.
Never, in my years of playing various racers did I ever go through a career mode that was so dull and made me feel so unwanting to complete it one day. that is how bad the multiplayer is. To start off the controls suck greatly. Wow, what a horribly dull and unexciting way to challenge a friend to a race. Instead, it felt like I was maybe only going about 40mph or less.
Problem #3; the lack of interesting tracks to race on. Here's how it went; we raced around the boring tracks, swerved like we were driving in snow, and we were totally bored. The only positive thing; the amazing graphics, that was it.
So this brings me to the arcade side. For those who enjoy really getting into the challenge, and working hard to get their fun, simulation mode is fabulously deep.but for those of you who just want to try out a car and a new track and enjoy the fun of driving that you will never get on our congested streets, arcade mode is your answer.Marvel at the beautiful scenery and laugh at the silly mistakes you make.relax and enjoy the ride. Not much has been said about Arcade Mode in the reviews of GT3 and GT4.I started out in simulation mode and very quickly rediscovered my obsessive/compulsive side--worried about winning races to get more credits to get more and better cars--lots of tension.not exactly my favorite. You also get to try out a lot of different cars without having to win them first. The workmate is very handy around the house or garage as well.Don't be intimidated by the difficulty of GT3. The feeling of racing is pretty much the same as simulation, and a great deal more relaxing, silly fun. I'm into having fun with video games, and GT3 is fabulous fun.
The pedals conveniently rest against the workmate on the floor and don't slide around. I'm in my 50s now, and prefer a more zenlike fun in life. Burnout 3 is also fun, but does not have the realistic driving that makes the GT series so great.To really enjoy the game, get a Driving force EX or Driving Force Pro.I use a Black and Decker WM225 Workmate with a 3/4"x10"x40" board clamped to it as a stand for the wheel. If you start out in easy mode, it is not too hard to win races and unlock all the tracks in GT3 in a short time. To get all this in simulation mode takes a long time and quite a lot of frustration. Sitting comfortably in an office chair with my legs stretched out in an ideal position, I can play for hours and not spend $300 on a racing chair. Get to know the Arcade mode.fun and fairly easy.
