Game Description

The third title of the Gran Turismo series takes full advantage of the PlayStation 2 game engine, which is capable of rendering about 20-million polygons per second--roughly 10 times the number of total polygons of the series previous instalment, Gran Turismo 2.

Real-time lighting forces your eyes to adjust to changing conditions, such as when a car rounds a turn and the sun comes out from behind a building to cause glare on the windshield. This makes the game harder, but more realistic. Heat rises off the ground and mist swirls around vehicles as they make their way across the racetrack. Gran Turismo 3 also features more than 100 distinct cars, each with different statistics, including the Subaru Impreza Rally, Dodge Viper GTS-R and Mazdas RX-7 RS. Computer-controlled opponents benefit from enhanced artificial intelligence; they dont act like baby ducks following their mother, but instead respond to other cars, the course and the conditions in much the same way that real drivers would.

Pressure a car, and it will pressure you back; cut one off in the early part of the race, and expect to receive similar treatment down the course. They dont drive perfectly, either; some will spin out and make other mistakes over the course of a race. The most eagerly awaited PlayStation 2 game of 2001 is finally here. Its about motor racing, its called Gran Turismo 3: A Spec, and its utterly superb. Much has been made of the appearance of Sonys flagship title on the PS2.

Detractors have complained it has fewer cars than GT2, it only has a couple of extra tracks and its really no more than an update. But then its easy to knock it before youve tried it. To be fair the detractors have a point and for the seriously hardcore driving fan.
