UK Edge magazine rates GT3 8/10..WHAT?!!!

well Lavan, I would prefer Liscensed cars.

I love tuning and building actual cars rather then non existent vehicles

alls well, but for me I could care less abut damage, To me it ranks up there with blood in games. It don\'t bother me at all that its not there

Well I think the comparison to blood is a bit unfair - blood is purely aesthetic (and atmospheric in some situations) whereas a damage model has actual ramifications upon the gameplay - ie you can\'t bounce off a wall without screwing up your suspension. If you add copious amounts of blood to Quake 3 it\'s the same gameplay, if you add a damage model to GT3 you have to radically change the way you race.

Anyways, I think you and I have probably had this discussion about 50 times in the past 6 months! But I concede I am in the minority in my opinion - I truly hope Codemasters release a sequel to J&L on the PS2, but in the meantime I will stop (or at least try to) my b!tching about damage models and GT3.

I remember a while back in an old interview on GT2 that the reason that they never included damage was because of licensing problems.

In fact, he even said that most Japanese and European car manufacturers didn\'t care if there was car damaged, but most of the American manufacturers didn\'t want to see their cars damaged.  So, rather then cut cars out of the game, they just decided to not include damage.

Think about it; Have only some cars with damage and others w/o?  It\'s an all or nothing deal.  Personally, I\'m glad they chose for more cars!!

Bloody Americans

They scored Gran Turismo 10/10, so at least they haven\'t always hated GT. Edge is quite harsh when it comes to scoring games, and I kinda saw this one coming. I think GT3 is a lot less of a revolution than the original GT when it came out. The game\'s been done before, though in glorious PSOne-crud-o-vision. I\'m not downing the game in any way, I\'m sure to score it a clear 10/10 when I get it in my paws. Edge just likes these things like "new" "innovative" "unlike anything we\'ve seen before" etc... they treat it like a sequel, not like the wonderful masterpiece it is.

Anyways, not many games score an 8 in their reviews, and that\'s a very good score. GT got 10/10, GT2 got 9/10... anyone see a pattern emerging here?

But I really have to disagree about the graphics. GT3 looks like the purrdiest car game ever to me. And about that LeMans comment, bah... GT3 wipes the floor with any opposition

No, Edge just likes anything thats NOT made by Sony

I remember when they reckoned Sega Rally on the DC was excellant and yet it suffered from really bad frame rate problems.... hmmmm quite simple, just dont read Edge anymore

dont worry too much about it:D

P.S i like youre pic, JP6666.

you better like his pic, i made it for him

like ddaryl said they must have a lack of knowledge on licenced car games, you cant cause damage to them.

Could they not use damage and then \'slightly modify\' the cars like they did in Grand Theft Auto?

Edge is the hardest games mag 2 please and are 100% not biased if u read the review of it fully u can see they make some very valid points !

LOL ! ya thanks unknown had some good comments on it

 i prefer liscensed cars without damage ! just my opinion
