GT3 Still Rocks

If you never played it then you missed a nice game....The best part of the game is the insanely realistic graphics that it sports....An older game but still a nice piece of eye candy...I enjoyed the ample supply of unique vehicles, and the track designs were innovative....The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star game was the actual handling of the cars....Maybe too realistic to a fault....The handling is too stiff,and keeps you from going that extra 10 miles faster....But great game none-the-less....

A Sure Great Hit!!!

This game is a great racing game. Even though this game came out a bit after the PS2 came out it, it has great graphics. Not as many cars as the the previos instalment and not being able to convert the cars into race cars was a big dissapointment but the new graphics made up for it. Great game if you haven't played it you need to.

This game has a great variety of tracks and cars, with a nice amount of customization available. If you have to make a choice, there are some more varied racing games out there (Gran Toursimo 4 has better graphic and more variety, so if you're on the fence, this one doesn't really offer anything that 4 doesn't offer and exceed), but Gran Tourismo 3 has enough content to occupy you for years of solid console racing. Definitely check out the Complex String test track if you play this game - it will kepp you on your toes for sure.

I tihnk this is the best racing made for the PS2. It has the best graphic's that I have seen on a racing game, the cars look real when you watch the replay's.

This game was made in 2001, right? Have you ever seen a better looking game since then?

I love racing games and this is the last GT game that wasn't more of a sim than a racing game. I would say it is about 40% racing and 60% sim, so the physics are real enough to get frustrating, but not so much as to ruin the game for a casual player.
