The gameplay in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is the same as its predecessors; fans of the previous games will feel right at home, while newcomers will be able to pick things up easily. There are more than 150 cars from which to choose, and plenty of tracks upon which to race them. Arcade mode works well for a quick fix, while simulation mode provides outstanding replay value. The sound effects are impressive--each engine has a unique sound, and tire screeches from different cars sound noticeably different. The soundtrack is a good mix of original compositions and a wide variety of recording artists, including Motley Crue, Raekwon, Jimi Hendrix, and Snoop Dogg.
One minor flaw with the game is its relatively predictable artificial intelligence. Computer-controlled cars follow distinct lines, and you'll be able to pick up the patterns after a few races. Considering how far the graphics have come since the original Gran Turismo, it's disappointing that the AI hasn't progressed similarly. Despite this, GT3 remains an outstanding game. Few games offer its combination of high quality and immense variety. --Raymond M. Padilla

Customer Reviews of Gran Turismo 3 A-spec
Fair You have a ton of cars to choose from which is awesome! But they made it way to difficult to get them. You find yourself just running the same races over and over and over and over for hours just to build your cash up so you can move on. EXTREMELY BORING! <
> After playing Need For Speed Underground, the action in this game seems so slow like the cars are barelly crawling along. <
> I also didn't like that in the game you had to do little drivers exam courses to move up to the next class of drivers license. I thought it was pretty lame, boring and a waste of time. They tried to make this game as realistic as possible, which is good to a point, but somewhere along the lines they forgot it was a game. <
> This game does have one of the best soundtracks out there for a ps2 game.
REMEMBER: DRIVING SIMULATION MEANS DRIVING SIMULATION.
Those that receive this game as a gift are the only people who have any reason to think "this game is hard" or "I can't turn" or "this game is too picky, realistic, etc." This is a (Arcade mode excluded)Race Car Driving Simulation! That has been made abundantly clear on the internet, in every game ranking website and in the description on the back of the game! Somehow people who have played NFS games or Burnout seem to think they actually could drive a real car like they drive in these games. Gran Turismo 3 quickly shakes you out of the fantasy world and into the real world of racing. Practice, just like in the real world, is the only way to master this game. The way I explained it to the kids when they where trin to take 110 degree corners at 75 mph, was to ask them "Do you think we could take corners on Main Street at even half that speed and not expect to hit the Subway Restaurant,or the Bank, or turn into the Speedway Gas Station at that speed and not take out the pumps?" Or "if we where out in the country cruising at 55mph and try to turn off into your driveway without slowing down, do you think we would roll it over?" It really changed their attitude and concentration on the gameplay. Like me they love it and it was all they could talk about for weeks.

>Lastly those of you that think it is boring apparently can't get very far in the game. You just have to understand this is so real that with a wheel and pedals it is as close as most of us will get to driving a $150,000.00 Viper GTS at 192 mph! Try and tell me that is not a scream!
OK, but not that great
This game is very challenging. Although the cars are very realistic and the graphics are elxellent the gameplay is very challenging. There are many cars but its hard to control. Only get this game if its really inexpensive.
