Product Rating:
Pros: The best graphics I have ever seen, and stunning real sound effects.
Cons: The difficulty rating for this game is just to intense for me.
The Bottom Line: A ground breaking game indeed, but the learning curve never really tops off. There is a point where you just can't get any better at this game.
Killa_T's Full Review: Gran Turismo 3 A-spec for PlayStation 2
After a grueling wait for this game to come out, it's here. All the hype that was built up around this game is for a good reason to. It is to say the very least the best racing game I have ever seen. To see any better racing you would have to get a ticket to the Daytona 500.
Graphics
Stunning. They are going to have to put a new word in the dictionary to describe the graphics for this game. The use of lighting effects as you blaze though a forest is just unreal. Ram on the brakes and watch your brake discs glow. Go over a bump and sparks fly from under your car. Go to the garage and look at your car. You actually can not tell if it's a picture of a car or a computer animated car.
Graphics Rating: A++
Sound
The sound for this game also has me completely amazed. Listen to your cars turbo suck air like it's going out of style. Passing a car and hearing that "vvvrrrrreeeeer" sound is just unreal. Combining sound and gameplay is what gran turismo does best. Are you heading into a turn to fast? You will be able to tell by the sound of the tires squeeling.
Sound Rating: A+
Gameplay
This is the part of the review I am going to hate writing, because I have to knock this game. This game is just to hard. In fact it is so hard that I lost interest rather quickly. It doesn't take long before you find yourself running the same race for three hours just trying to get past it. The licensing is also near impossible. If anybody has achieved the super license then they deserve the best video game player of all time award
Gameplay Rating: C
Overall
Overall this is a really great game. If you enjoy racing you will, no doubt, enjoy this game. Just remember that when you are done playing this game, and go out and jump in your car, you are not playing the game anymore.
Drive safe, and enjoy.
