Racing games are starting to get on my nerves, I have rarely got annoyed when typing in the forums, but this is a topic with hatred inside, I waffled yes, but I want to waffle, OK!


GT3??? I really dislike this game, its all been done before... ohhh look at the realism! Who cares? I don't give a monkeys if the car looks good or doesn't, the fact of the matter is that its just the same GT2 engine with a faster console and more cars...

..its these kind of games that ruin the market, nothing original, nothing new, they just knew that giving more realism and a better screen resolution would sell more copies, sad thing is, the people who brought the game are going to go along with the hype and cred the game till GT4 is released.

All the people that have brought this game, hold your horses, yes you will comment it on being the best racer ever, but how is it any different it terms of what the predecessor did? It may be nicer to look at, but then again I am sure more people would prefer watching the Baywatch intro sceen then watching the GT3 intro shots.

Racing games? Crappy Games is a better name, don't get me wrong, I used to love them, the multiplayer racer is near unbeatable to anything else, but then again once a racer has been released that beats all the others, a racer in the future can only improve on small factors (eg cars).

Its going to disgust me when I hear on the people on here talk about how good the game is and how long it has last them??

*cough cough** 'Didn't you say the same thing about the last one? **cough cough**

Once a racer always a racer. Yes, we have had MSR, GT, TOCA, Rally etc... and even the Crazy Taxi car games, the only thing that is left is Train Drivi....ahh.. I see, that has also been done...

Well then shoot me in the foot and tie my head to the clutch, I have found that racing games are only ever going to continue to get better in the form of visuals/internet and multiplayer modes. The oneplayer option has been covered more than the male eyes on Jordans body.

People stop being stupid, the game is the same as it was before, just this time it has ten new cars or something? Last time didn't you have a car which you loved, are you just being gullable.

Shall I tell you the last remaining way to enjoy yourself with a car?? Yes? Well then, put some suspenders on, attach yourself to a fastcar at a set of traffic lights with the suspenders, and watch yourself fly forwards, then backwards towards your impending doom.


Racing Games? HA! They are all the same.

You are and Nintendo need to pull out all the stops and if they do or nearly do then the GC will be an awsome experience!

Speed Freaks was great after the pub.

What about G-Surfers? WipEout style racing but over the entire planet (yes, they coded the whole of Mother Earth into a game. Sad gimps).

True, Rumble Racers is a new look on racers, something new in the crappy crap crap genre... I give respect to that...

Turbonutter, I was getting fond of my PS2, not because it was free but because I saw a lot of potential in it, as you really like Sony, can I ask you as a neutral. Why is it failing to be what it promised?

It seems Sony are using the PS's golden wings to transport the PS2! Am I right?

True true, original racing games are great (Mario Kart and Rollcage), these are enjoyable non-serious racers, that don't sell because of their visuals and depend on great gameplay and fun.

Turbonutter, yes GT3 may be quite different but they continues to actually use the same GT2 engine to create the game, this is why it annoys me in one instinct, the other is that they boosted it to be a completly new racing game experience??? Excuse me?? Bang my head against the wall and call me Fred, but I still have a car, and I am racing around a track!

arrggghh...where the hell is Crazy Taxi! Now that is a game!

Oh yeah! That Rumble Racing looks like a laugh.

So, racers with interesting twists (and preferably the ability to blow up opponents) are alright with me.

GT3 oh yes a PS2's proudest thing over Nintendo! Well we can say we have the better fun racer, Mario Kart, futuristic racer, F Zero and with games like Excitebike and Wave race Nintendo don't lack in Racers.

Why did is say that?

Well always have wanted to and i agree it is GT2 with better graphics and no offense here that is what the PS2 seems to generally be same games better graphics.

Don't bother giving me the list i heared it all before!

You are right to an extent, but there are always interesting twists, such as Rumble Racing.

About GT3, I have played it and it is quite differant to GT2 and GT1.

I'm with you er-no! Racing games suck! Especially ones that boast realism!

Mario Kart on the other hand, now thats what I call a racing game! (SNES version mind)
