Gran Turismo 3

[Captain Canuck]

I know the differences between a type r and my car. I'm a car nut myself. I have driven a type R before. I drive a GSR and my dad owns one of the older model integras. I know what my GSR can do on the road and I know the type-r can do everything better. If you don't know what a kit AKA bodykit is, then you're not a car nut.

Anyways, no one is saying that GT is hard. It's just tedious. Leanring how to drive those cars are pointless cause I can beat my GT fans friends in races no problem and I don't even play it really.Not with the integras though.

Yeah I know what a "body" kit is, but there isn't an Integra in GT3 with one. That's why I was confused about your statement. I just think it's weird that it's my been my favorite car in the series because of it's handling. I've never driven one, but I've wanted to own one really bad. Unfortunately I'm about 6'4" and this just doesn't work well with the Integra. I've read alot about the car and how great it handles and I found it to be one of the best handling cars in the game. I dont know.

Mzo, dont take this wrong, but do you just follow difussionx around and agree with his comments? I swear where ever he post your right behind.

=O

Never noticed.

Best review ever?

Lol, thanks for the compliment. I personally really enjoy the game. I am a car nut however. I can see how people who aren't really into cars would have more fun with arcade racers such as Daytona and Ridge Racer etc. This game, however, is SO deep it's incredible. I have no idea how many hours I've put into it, but it's in the 100+ range. I have the beginner and intermediate all 100% complete with all race wins. I'm close to finishing advanced and have completed many endurances, rallies, and arcade races.

Ok, the endurances are BORING if you have mastered GT3 because you will have smoked the field early and have to spend upwards of an hour completing the race. Yes, the game is mainstream as in it's sold through the roof. However, this does not mean it's not "hardcore" by any means. The physics engine these guys (and girls) created is very close to real life, and that is quite "hardcore"

That was one of those 30 second reviews. Well done!

I like to keep things short and to the point. Thanks for the compliment btw.

Yeah I know, a better model is in it. Type r and there's an aolder one with a kit. They both suck though.

My car is "mentioned" in the game. I have a 1997 Camaro V6 5 speed manual. It's quite an underrated car by most people.

most of the people who don't like gran turismo are just crap at playing it. including me. but i've seen good players playing and it sure looks like fun. I just prefer to stick to racing games where braking is optional.

An Imposter above me!

I have heard that car with the 5 speed was a good performer for the money. Too bad they don't make them anymore. I wish they would have included that and the V6 mustang in the series.

Yeah I'm positive the older type R has a kit cause it doesn't look like that. It looks better than the new ones in some ways, so I assumed there was a kit on it.

Cool, that car is fast and I think a lot of people know that. I thought cops used camaro's in some areas?

The thing that killed me about GT3 was the walls. That's it, the walls. The physics model was neat, the cars handled in a reasonably diverse way (given how many cars there are in the game) - but being able to bounce off of walls destroyed any realistic feel the game had for me.

I'd focus on trying to drive well, smoothly, but I was always conscious of the fact that scraping a wall wouldn't hurt me that much, and that sometimes a bounce off of a wall made more sense than trying to follow some line through the curve.

Putting bouncy walls in GT3 just didn't make sense - it'd be like putting a Ninja Ball in All Star Baseball 2001, or, I don't know, red shells in Ferrari F355.

Yep, maybe they will have a V6 Camaro or more likely a V6 Mustang in GT4, since the monkeys at Chevy decided to ditch the Camaro....What were they thinking!?

Ya, it is pretty quick. It has a 3.8 liter V6 that has been around for decades, but has been refined many times over. It's rated 200 horsepower and 225 pound feet of torque, but this has been proven to be underrated by people who have dynoed it at more like 235-240 tq. It has fooled more than one person I've driven around into thinking it's a V8. Definitely plenty of power to get in trouble with!

It is true that the highway patrol in many states has started using Z28 Camaros, the V8 version, as cruisers. Now those are just plain fast. They are rated at 310-315 horsepower, but infact many people have dynoed them at numbers more like 325-330 horsepower, so they are underrated as well.

YES!!! I'm am in agreeance with you 100% When I found out there would be no damage in GT4, I was quite disappointed. I know they would have had trouble gettin the "ok" from many car manufacturers, but why not have a series of races with the car munfacturers that would be ok with having there car's damaged? Who knows, GT4 has recently been delayed, maybe they are adding it!!??
