This is an excellent game. It's got superb graphics. It's got great sound. The simulation mode physics are impeccable. The animation is smooth, fluid and lifelike.

It's almost as good as driving a real car. That's why I love it and give it five stars. But this same realism comes at a price. The game is not easy -- even in arcade mode. If you're not careful you're off the track and you've lost the race (just like in real life).

To really appreciate GT3, you need to dedicate some time to taking the driving tests in the game. Completing the tests will earn you licenses so you can race "professionally." For anyone who has mastered GT2, this should be no problem. In any case, you need to acquire these licenses to "unlock" portions of the game.

Bottom line: if you liked GT or GT2 I highly recommend GT3. It's simply the best pure driving game I've ever played. And it's the most realistic driving simulation I've ever seen on a console.

If, however, you are looking for a quick, fun and easy to learn car based game, I don't think GT3 is for you. Check out Crazy Taxi (another great game) instead.

I can't stop playing it. My wife wishes she never would have bought me the play station 2 console. I love to show the replays to freinds who never play video games, they are astounded by the beauty. The only problem is trying to get the licences, its diving me crazy. Up until ps 2 I never played video games, I would buy new consoles and give them away because I thought they were too cheesy. But this game Rocks! I bought the system, a 53 inch high def, awesome surround, gt force wheel and I'm in heaven.

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.
