Since his review is a bit buried in that other thread, I figured I\'d give it a proper spot. Maybe you can fix those pics and add them to this thread as well Bouncer.
The review Ok here it is, I’m not gonna drown this thread with a bunch of pics because I think we seen them all so I just posted a few at the bottom. When you go buy gt3 you get this 150 page book full of all the cars in the game, so you know you got your work cutout to get all the cars. When you load the game the introduction starts and you see the power of the ps2. There are about 4-5 introductions if you let the game just play, it will switch from rally to street to the rain stage in which yes you can race more than 2 cars. I believe its about 6.
Once you start the game you will see a menu in which there is a arcade mode a gt3 mode and a option and load type screen. If you pick arcade you will see single race, free run, 2 player, time trial and a screen called GOODIES, now you have to win the arcade mode to unlock all the goodies..for ex. If you win a race on a easy level and go to goodies screen, you will see a slot filled in. now try to unlock the normal and difficult on the same track..and so on,,,its a lot cause there are about ..hmmm..10-15 track to race on in the arcade mode and you need to fill up all the slots…I’m almost done..hehe…
Time trial mode is self explanatory. 2 player mode is cool..the screen splits horizontal and the game rocks..i love the rally mode…there are so many options in the game from replay, record, hell you can even edit your replays by changing the angles of the camera..another cool thing is when you are watching a race press up and you will switch between cars..press left and you will view them from different angles.
The opening song of gt3 is by lenny kravitz,,,”if you wanna go my way” and the soundtrack is by some other songs off of grand theft auto. The music rocks all the way. The vibration control on the rally is so damn cool…I need the driving wheel now!!!..that’s it for the arcade mode. When you choose gt3 mode you get the familiar garage type screen where you can purchase cars and modify them if you own them. There are so many cars…woo hoo.
When you try out for your license this aint easy if you not familiar with gt3, there are about 7 types of license you must earn in order to race certain tracks. There is a menu called GO RACE in where you can watch the whole race or participate in it, there are so many types of races for each class..all I can say is you will be racing for a long time…there is no car wash machine in the game. There is a tune up shop where you do just about anything to the car.
The A.I. in the game is downright spooky…them bastards will corner you in and bump you and try to knock you off course,,especially if you are playing in the grand tourismo championship,,the last race!!!!..me and my girl has been disecting this game from top to bottom. From the way the sun shines on your car to the glare off of your mirrors, so far we found no problems but 1..we cant stop playing…hahahaha…
Ladies and gents I’m telling you there is no way I can cover this whole game with all the options it has,,,,its like the final fantasy of racing games. Another thing about the rally mode is that you can just sit there and do donuts all day,,then watch the replay and sit back and enjoy.
This game is not easy by no means you really have to practice,,I thought I was just gonna pick up the controller and win me some races NOT!!!,,I had to practice breaking and cornering…but you learn all that while getting your license. There is another mode called {I LINK BATTLE) I have no idea what this does,,I believe its for 2 ps2 head on battle or internet racing..damn I hope so that’s cool.
Damn I’m so happy I got this game..if you did not have yours reserved in japan then you are out of luck. So reserve your now for the USA and the other regions. Oh yeah all of your favorite cars are in the game,,some I never even heard of before. I did not see a pontiac dealer in the game..that sucks cause I own a firehawk, but the USA may get it. Well my fingers hurt..hehehe…but I just wanted to share some news of the greatest ps2 game so far. Any other question just ask me ok.. sorry these pics look bad but my camera it acting up, besides we seen enough pics..i\'m sure you all wanted the inside of the game.
