The game always has something new to offer, and is an all round great game, besides being an excellent racing game.

Also placed in the game is an Arcade mode, which allows players to advance through selected courses and cars, and also distributes a brilliant 2-player feature that initiates competitive racing

Any magazine reviewing on a 5 or 10 point scale gives this game a perfect mark.. if you hate accurate racing simulations, then why are you reading these reviews

best hint i could give, buy the MUSTANG & put all the horsepower in it as you can & go to endurance & win the super speedway race & you will recieve the F090.

If you love racing, you must get GT3 and of course a PS/2!!

you win enough races with your first car, you can use your prize money to buy new, faster cars

As soon as I started the opening video, my jaw literally dropped as I was preparing for the best racing game ever made

Ive never really been a big fan of simulation racing games like this one

Absolutely the best racing simulation EVER!Be sure to read some of the hints, tips, and recommendations

The AI in this game is very good too, and you will find yourself struggling to win races and/or cups to get money and bonus cars

Well, the game has great (probably the best) racing graphics, and it's got all the great cars, but what really matters is the quality of game play

This is the absolute best racing game avalible for the PS2

Over all this is the best racing game ever.

GT2 is the most realistic and graphical racing game in the world

This game is the best racing game ever

Best racing

but thats why they call it a challengeand for other people recomending tm black over the greatest racing game ever

This is it, race fans - the finest racing game yet available.

If you want the most fun and realistic race driving simulator out there, this is it

Great racing game

The Gran Turismo racing series offered by SCEA is the greatest and most innovative racing simulator ever offered.

i enjoy driving (and an occassional drag race) in a fast car and am the only gal i know who subscribes to motor trend.

The races are extremely satisfying and and well-earned

It produces a more accurate "race" envioronment.

While not as realistic in their ability to produce the action on the track, Gran Turimso's races are superior because of the cars and the control that you have over them.

Grand Turismo is the best racing game on earth

it's the best racing game ever made, even better than GT4 (in my opinion).

GT3 A-Spec is an extremely enjoyable racing game, combining exciting gameplay with incredibly beautiful graphics

Physics Gran Turismo 3 delivers the most realistic racing experience

GT3 is not only the best racing game ever produced, it's one of the best video games ever produced

the graphics, sound, control, gameplay, setup, depth, replayability, and especially the ease of starting compared to the difficulty it reaches makes this the absolute best game, racing or

I know it sounds a little boring -- just watching the race all over again -- and I don't watch each race again, but when I've had a particularly good (or bad) race, it's nice to watch "from the outside" to see what I did right (or wrong).

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

This is THE best racing game for the racing fan who wants realism and not an arcadey kids game.

Graphics are light years beyond any other racing game available now

This is, easily, the best racing sim for the PS2.

later?)The menu interface is improved over GT2, now you can restart a race immediately if you mess up, rather than having to go through 3 different menus to restart the race (like the old GT2 menus).The music is a little more pop rock and remixy

I, along with millions of other fanatical GT fans have been methodically awaiting the best racing game ever made

This is the best racing game made for any console

As I revved my engine for the start of an exhilarating race, I could hardly concentrate on the road

Nope, no matter how bad you screw up and hit the wall, you still have a factory clean race car with no mechanical problems.

Everything seems to work well, but I would point especially at the sharp and hyper-realistic level of graphics and the music (famous tunes that you will greatly enjoy together with your fast realistic racing car and the excellent scenery of the racing tracks)

In most cases, nearly everyone I know would believe this is the greatest racing simulator ever

Those who are really into motor vehicles will appreciate the paragraphs of detailed information about the cars and their parts, but the average gamer who isn't as enthusiastic about cars (like me) will still benefit from the realistic racing experience such attention to detail engenders.

This is just the latest version of the best racing game ever, that of course being Gran Turismo.

The reason I say this is the best racing game ever is that i am used to games on Nintendo 64 where you just punch the gas and turn

Without a doubt, Gran Tourismo 3 is the most realistic racing game available for a gaming console to date.

i have recently purchased gt3 a-spec, and after owning the original gt and gt 2 i can say that this is the best driving/racing simulator out to date.

Best racing game ever made.

This game is with out a doubt the best racing games, and one of the best games ofthe year!!

And it was the greatest racing game, with over 100 different styles for cars and a long career simulation mode full of different tracks, plus a license mode to earn your way forward and practice you skills, it quickly beat many other racing games right off the line

The big "flaw" in the game is that the License Tests - with passage required to compete in all but six races in Simulation Mode - are incredibly difficult, even for those who performed well on the License Tests in the earlier incarnations of the series.

I love how you can tweek the car to get just a few horsepower that might just win that one race for you

This is the game for people who love real racing and challenge, not for people who only like racing games like Mario-cart

It is far the best racing game I've ever seen

this is the best racing game ever

as i read another reviewer say, watching the replays is almost as much fun as racing.

however, i still think gt3 is far from being a realistic simulation of driving, and i dont always enjoy the racing.

If you are like me, this would be the best racing game that suits you.

The best racing game of all time has been completly remade although keeping up with every aspect that made its previous games in the series classic.

you have to get licenses, buy cars, and win races to get money to buy better cars/partsGRAPHICS:

later?)The menu interface is improved over GT2, now you can restart a race immediately if you mess up, rather than having to go through 3 different menus to restart the race (like the old GT2 menus).The music is a little more pop rock and remixy

Even with these draw-backs this is the best racing game so far, and it doesn't lose its playability over the long haul like other games.

This and Midnight Club 3 are my two favorite racing games ever

One of my favorite racing games of all time

Only the pure race cars have the racing colours

The graphics are so phenominal it looks almost like you are watching a race on TV

Granted, it may not be the most "realistic" racing sim, but it is just complex enough to make it fun for the sim crowd, yet it offers enough options to make it fun for the arcade crowd

It was the best racing game And most realistic and it remains that way even at this point.

Gran Turismo 3" is the most real-like racing game you will ever experience

With improved car selection, more courses, and crisper graphics on the Play Station 2, it instantly became my favorite racing game.

This is not just a game where you build up from scratch, win some races, and buy faster cars.

Buy this game if you really like racing and don't mind spending hours playing and practicing

Truly the most impressive racing game to date for any system

I simply love GT3 and dont think there is another racing game that comes close to in anyway, the Detail,"Feel",Variety of cars and over all Greatness!This is a must own game for any racing fan,and is a true testament to the power of the Playstation 2 and is without a doubt the systems best game!Enjoy!

A-spec is the best racing game I have ever played, it is a lot better than Gran Turismo 2

Also, this game is the best racing game of all time

This is possibly the BEST racing game on this planet.

this by far has to be one of the greatest looking racing games out there

and my god is it the best racing game in the world.

If you wanna play a classic racing simulator, this is the game to play

Definately a perfect score from me, but you must love real racing to agree.

This may be very well be the best racing game of all time

First of all, the game excels in the handling mode where you get to drive the car for a licence course or a quick race, officialy a SINGLE race

Screw Gothem racing for x-box and burn out

This is without a doubt the best racing game ever, the graphics are incredible and theres a lot of things to do

this car is an F1 car & will win every race for you.

The best cars are the six F1 cars but you can only get them as prizes; All the endurance races have one but your chances are 1 in 4 of getting one after you win the race.

its still the best racing series out there.

It is the best racing game I've ever played personally

Despite that hurdle, GT3 is a racing game that anyone can enjoy (if you can't tolerate the license tests, there's always the arcade mode after all)

This is the absolute best racing game I have ever played, and that includes racing games found in arcades.

Traction control is turned on automatically though, and it seriously makes your car slower and hurts your ability to win races

Great racing game though.

So overall this is a fun racing game... but dont expect to beat it!

However, GT3 is STILL the coolest racing [and non-Burnout type] PS2 games I've EVER played!...

You can unlock different fancy racing cars along the way but the races get repetitive after a while

This game is the best racing game ever created

To be honest, I think Gran Turismo 1 was the best racing game ever.

I picked this up hoping to have a great racing game

Even though it's not out yet, I can tell you this will be the best racing game ever

GT3 is a very, very good game, tied for the best racing game I've ever played (the other is NFS

This is, by far, the best racing game ever created

This, however, will cause you to lose every race, and is not advised

You must complete license tests in order to move on to more expensive races (which can be hard as heck) but you get hooked on competition, amping up all the cars you'll win and the many moons you'll spend racing you favorite cars.

The AI doesn't "put up a challenge"; all the rival racers do is follow a specific path along the race track, making some races feel "contrived"

If you like racing, this is the best one out there

Even if the car isn't a luxury car, it will still win races

I'll make this short and simple; if you're looking for the most realistic racing sim with the best graphics that'll keep you interested and busy for months...look no further

It gets a little boring, when a F1 car is won, because it is twice as good as any race car

To do all of this you actually have to choose what cars you buy carefully, win races that will give you enough money to soup-up your cars and customize them, and then, if you wish you can buy fancier cars.

Only the hardest of the hardened racers should even attempt these races

Awesome race game!

Best racing game even, it is that simple

The fun for me is not really just the racing but buying and upgrading the cars

I would have to say Gran Turismo 3 has the one of the best racing gameplay mechanics around, and for the reasonable price, you get hours worth of content

When getting your first car, don't upgrade it because after you do, you will probally still lose the races

The license tests are great training ground - and when you get to the point of winning some awesome racing cars, you'll just flip

If you want the pure racing game, this is the game that you want

Other than that, buy this game if you are a racing freak or just a freak!

No other racing games like it.

Gran Turismo 3 is the best racing game ever.

A fun racing game to play.

This is by far the best racing game ever

First, let me say Gran Turismo 3 is the best racing/sim game on the market for any console

gt3 is the all time best racing game.

Gran Turismo was boasted as the greatest racing came ever made when it was slated for release for the PlayStation

Beat races, win money, buy cars you could never afford in real life.

The license tests are a great training ground - and when you get to the point of winning some awesome racing cars, you'll just flip!

This game is awsome but the races can get boring fast.

Without question the best racing game on the market

The races eventually get very hard so be prepared.

Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2 is the best racing game on the market

With less of a used car system than in GT2, you are stuck buying less to begin with and it takes even longer to get a car that will win you some races and some money.

this has to be the best racing game I ever played (and I've played most of them) the detail on things like heat waves,glowing brake disks,colour &

This has to honestly be one of the best racing games I have ever played on the PS2.

You don't have to be a hardcore racing fan to appreciate this game and have fun.

In all my years of videogaming this has to be the most superb racing game ever

Hands down the best racing sim I have ever played

Let me start out by saying that this is, hands down, the best racing sim I've seen or played.

This is just what comes along with the game that is known as the best racing simulator.

The cars tend to follow a very strict line when they race and they rarely deviate from a planned circuit on the court, but the game is nonetheless very challenging and the hard work it takes to win races is rewarded greatly by countless options to buy new cars and modify existing ones

The greatest racing controller ever made does not work with this title, and Polyphony had the code just lying around from previous versions.

Nearly photorealistic visuals, stunning attention to real-world physics, and the feel of good old knock-down, drag-out racing.

At first it seems you will not win anything but after winning a few races and earning the big bucks I got new cars and new parts and even some chicks

Back in March of 1998, Gran Turismo saw it's first release and defined what the PSX could present, and began a franchise that is hailed as the best racing series of all time

In arcade mode you have access to 150 cars in four different classes, and the altogether 34 racetracks open in packs of 6 if you win the races (even in easy mode)

All my nitpics aside this "is" the best racing sim on ANY console and i don't see anyone knocking it from the throne of greatness anytime soon.

Whether racing around a Speedway or mudding it up in a Rally race, this game is by far the best racing game available today - on any platform

this has got to be easily the greatest racing game ever created

However, was the game too realistic for its own good?The Gran Turismo series is the most popular racing series in the world

They are simply the most impressive sounding racing cars gracing a race tracks today.

this is the best racing game ever buy it and live it.

This i the best racing game i've ever played

You can unlock different fancy racing cars along the way but the races get repetitive after a while

To date, I still feel that Gran Turismo 3 provides the best racing experience and realism.

I think Gran turismo 3 is the best racing game for PS2

At least one of it!-----------------------------------------------------------------Value=Its worth the great A+

It is about as close to perfect as it gets, in my most humble opinion.

rear and mid engine cars do not flair as wildly out of control as in the past, and the new wet ground physics are great.

All time is lost when you experience GT3, and 24 hours may accidentally be lost as you suddenly notice the rising sun to your disbelief

All in all, I highly recommend it, but don't expect it to be so good as to convert RPG fans to racing games!

From the licensing, to the wheel and tune shop, there's no substitute for something as close to being realistic as
