Gran Turismo 3 (A-spec)

You are looking at Play Station 2 game Gran Turismo 3 A-spec.

"Its endless tuning options and many racing events will keep you engrossed in the game for many months, and it's accessible enough to be enjoyed by anyone who's the least bit interested in driving an exotic car." - from Gamespot, who give this game an Editor's Choice award with an incredible score of 9.4/10!

Recreating racing excellence to the last detail of physics and automotive engineering with the assistance of the manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Lotus, Nissan, and Ford Motors, the evolution of racing realism is unmatched by any other game. And with undeniably stunning visuals set in glinting cityscapes and on swirling rally tracks, no game approaches its beauty. Come around a corner at dusk, and blinding sunlight will blaze across your windshield. Whip through country roads and marvel as the reflection of nearby trees gleams off of your sedan. Skid across slick wet roads and watch the spray of your wake douse your opponent in a wall of mist.

Computer-controlled opponents benefit from enhanced artificial intelligence; they don't act like baby ducks following their mother, but instead respond to other cars, the course and the conditions in much the same way that real drivers would. Pressure a car, and it will pressure you back; cut one off in the early part of the race, and expect to receive similar treatment down the course. They don't drive perfectly, either; some will spin out and make other mistakes over the course of a race - just like a human.

Intricate detail: customisable cars can be made to handle differently through horsepower, ride height and tyre selection.
