Description
The PlayStation2 takes the Gran Turismo franchise to new heights in the third edition of the venerable racing series. The graphics are sure to grab you--the cars and tracks are awe inspiring, and there are some incredible lighting effects. This game is much more than eye candy, though.
The gameplay in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is the same as its predecessors; fans of the previous games will feel right at home, while newcomers will be able to pick things up easily. There are more than 150 cars from which to choose, and plenty of tracks upon which to race them. Arcade mode works well for a quick fix, while simulation mode provides outstanding replay value. The sound effects are impressive--each engine has a unique sound, and tire screeches from different cars sound noticeably different. The soundtrack is a good mix of original compositions and a wide variety of recording artists, including Motley Crue, Raekwon, Jimi Hendrix, and Snoop Dogg.
One minor flaw with the game is its relatively predictable artificial intelligence. Computer-controlled cars follow distinct lines, and you'll be able to pick up the patterns after a few races. Considering how far the graphics have come since the original Gran Turismo, it's disappointing that the AI hasn't progressed similarly. Despite this, GT3 remains an outstanding game. Few games offer its combination of high quality and immense variety. --Raymond M. Padilla

I MEAN NO STARS!
This game has bad graphics.
It has sucky cars.
It is so hard to play on different tracks.
The cars dosn't even have a driver in it.
Tha Best
Ok this Game is fantastic. No car game not even nfs can beat it.
Here is a little trick for beginners:
1: At the starting of the game take the mazda miata mx-5
2: Then, do not spend your money until you get enough to buy a Mazda Rx-7 Infiniti
3: Boost it!
4. Make it strong enough to be able to compete in the last beginner league challenge
5. Then dont spend your money till you have enough to buy the Toyota Supra, The Chevy Corvette or The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra.
6. Boost the car you have chosen.
7. Then make the lisense till you have passed the i-a lisense
8. Go to the super Speedway 150 miles endurance race.
9. Do that endurance race.(very easy)
10.If you Win the race you will win 200000 bucks!
11.Then, you will have a bonus car. you will see 4 cars in black that you can get. There is: a Renault Clio, two sports cars and a f/068
12. If you get the f/068 you will be happy to know that it is an Formula 1 car and that it is very rapid.
13. Then make all the other endurance races with the F1 car and if you are lucky, you can win two other F1 cars that are more rapid than the first f1.
if you do this correctly, you will get unbeatebeale and it is not a cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Game since GT2!!!!!!!!!!!
Gran Turismo 2 is one of my favourite racing games. My mum bought a PS2 to play it. but the free games with my PS2 are tedious. Gran Turismo 3 has fewer cars than Gran Turismo 2. but has a few more tracks. The graphics beat 989's Formula One 2001 which I'm steering clear of. I got it today with Crash Bandicoot. My other disc of Crash Bandicoot broke. Gran Turismo 3 is too much better than my SNES games. Buy this.

cool cool...............
This is a preety good game basedon graphics and gameplay but the downside is there is only about 130 cars or so to some people this might seem like alot but to hardcore racing fans i say wait till granturismo 4 comes out there is supposed tobe around 500 cars 100 tracks and picture enhanced backgrounds which means extremely good graphics.
so if your a casual racecar game player this is a good choice
hint if you do buy this game and if u have enough money buy the pagani zonda and upgrade it all the way IT SUPER SUPER FAST YOULL LOVE IT!
