OK, this is a bit of a spur of the moment post, so don’t expect it to be good.

The good:

• Absolutely fantabulistic graphics!
• Great handling
• Harder than before
• Not possible to buy a super-powerful car from the off
• More tracks
• 2001 cars
• Swish presentation
• Virtually no loading times
• Cool music
• Favorite music tracks playlist option
• Force feedback wheel available
• 6 players
• It’s Gran Turismo!
• It’s Gran Turismo!
• One more time: It’s Gran Turismo!

The bad:

• Can’t turn the music up
• New menu-like presentation isn’t as good as the last one
• Takes longer to navigate
• Not much of a sequel
• More bloody license tests!
• Not as many options

The missing:

• 300+ cars
• Second hand cars
• TVR Cerbera (allegedly). If I find that’s not there, someone will die.
• Polish
• The Corrs
• Damage (still, but I know why)
• High Speed Ring

Verdict: Very good, but shows signs of being rushed. Could have had a little more thought put into it.

Heh, I like arguing because it's fun. That's all.

GT3 is realistic in a very fun way as it's actually hard to win a race and you need a damn sight more skill than with the majority of Nintendo racers. Maybe there isn't enough of the Nintendo target audience that can handle a proper racer such as GT, and that's why you only have arcade racers. To win a GT you have to get good. Going gung-ho and "What's a brake?" will get you nowhere, apart from maybe a gravel pit.

When I said he was more mature than US Ant, you were part of that US :-D

You proved me right with those last couple of posts :-)

Oops. Looks as though I didn't read Dan's message through properly.

But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

So what you're saying is, it's realistic in all the spoddy dull ways but ignors the part of realism that could offer a little bit of excitement.

I guess that says it all about Sony games...

As for "Beware the Toads"

You're one of those unbiased gamers who like a good game no matter the platform.

You're a bit more mature than the childish likes of us :-)

(And when I say US, no I'm not talking as in US as in Nintendo players, I'm talking about US as anyone who can be bothered to argue :-D)
