I am sorry but I have had it up to here (er-yes points to the sky) with people praising this game!

I like it yes, well done Sony. Its a good game, but it has major flaws and should be called GT2.2! If Sony were to release this game on the Playstation people would be in uproar, only the graphics save it from being any different to its predescessor and the fact it has 450 less cars to choose from.

Come to think of it, it more of a show off from Sony to display the Playstation 2's graphic and visual abilities.


'Oh look at the amazing sunglare effect' the man in the shop said to a customer.

'Oh well lets not play the game and look at the sun, shall we? Doffus!' I muttered.


Its not that special come to think of it. It is a great racer, but it has the same nice cars GT2 had (but less), its still got the same great control, and a great game length, infact it even has some of the same courses.

One whole year ago a game called Metropolis Street Racer was released onto a console which is no longer being made, it had practically the same or better visuals, a better progression system and overall was a better game. Yet it was completely overlooked by most and was left to only selling moderately well!

Don't get me wrong, I love the way Sony have gotten away with it, and yes its a great game, but its not worth buying a console for (a £300 console), it still has the same dodgy damage system and the oppenents still feel so computerised (so much for the chip), oh, and when the wheel does work its nice and easy..

Sony are claiming that GT3 is the fastest ever selling game, I claim it to be the fastest selling ever upgrade!

Seriously, visuals have taken over! Gone is good gameplay. Thank God for the GB Advance!

'I spit in Sony's eye and it fizz!'
er-yes

Ok, don't ahve time to read all posts, but here is my view:

FACT: GT3 IS NOT A SEQUAL! It is an update. That is why it was always called GT 2000... like TTT was not called Tekken 4, and virtua stricker 2 ver 2 was not virtual striker 3.

But SONY (not the makers) decided to call it GT3 to make it sound like a new sequal... when in fact it takes all the components of the first, a bit more depth, and adds better graphics!

NiGHTS!

I'm quite content with my DC and a copy of M:SR thanks!

Quake 3 and Dead or Alive 2 use it.

GT3 uses it, MotoGP uses it, MGS2 uses it.

None of my other games use it, but there are probably others that do. Future fighting games *may* use it to determine how hard you hit.

A DualShock will work with all of the games as far as I know, but obviously you will not have the analogue function.

Of course, you do get a DualShock2 with the PS2 - but buying a second one is recommended if you plan on 2-player. Unless of course you want to have an unfair advantage! ;-)
