Advantages: Astonishing graphics!, Eternal life-span!, So may cars to unlock!

Disadvantages: N/A

Gran Turismo 3, in my opinion, is the greatest game any console has ever seen. Ultra-realistic graphics, great sound quality and an almost eternal life-span make this an absolutely fantastic racing game.

The Cars: Every car in GT3 is modelled to the finest detail, producing absolutely astonishing graphics. The cars are from all major makers including Subaru, Toyota, Ford, Dodge, Mitsubishi, Honda, Nissan and many, many more.
The cars range from Class C normal road cars to Class S monster race cars including touring cars, rally cars, LeMans cars and even Formula one cars.

The Tracks & Races: There are many differnet races sorted into leagues of difficulty aswell as Rally events and painstakingly-long 2 hour endurance races. The more difficult/important the races, the better the money or car prizes are that get awarded, many of the best cars can't be purchased and can only be obtained by winning races.
There are 18 different courses in all which range from proper race courses to street circuits and dirt tracks.

Tests: Before you can start any proper racing you must perform various tasks in order to earn your licences, the licences range from the easy B-licence up to the very hard International-A & Rally licences. The licences are definetly the hardest part of the game and require a great effort to be able to complete.

Tuning: In Gran Turismo you must tune-up your cars to improve their performance. You can enhance the suspensions, brakes, engine parts, turbo kts & intercoolers, computer & ROM parts and tyres to help your car perform better on the track.
In the game is the GT Auto Shop where you can wash your car when it gets a bit dirty (especially rally cars), change oil to help improve your engine's performance and even buy new wheels from many manufacturers including Bridgestone, Dunlop, OZ Racing, Rays Engineering, Yokohama and more.

Arcade mode: The arcade mode is useful for a quick game, no licences
are required, no money, no tuning, just pick one of the cars on offer and get racing, you unlock more cars to use as you go along. You can either do a single race, where you can unlock new cars and new sections or time trial mode and try to beat all of the pre-set times with a ready-chosen car. You can also just have a free run where you can simply hone your skills without fear of winning or losing anything.


Overall, GT3 is an ace game, the best ever made (probably, until GT4 comes out!)
