My dissapointments about GT3

True, very true, but i guess i just fancy sticking up for GT3 a bit.
However, now for something more on topic - my initial disappointments at GT3. It took me awhile to remember them (it was a fair few years ago when i got it :D) but here they are:
Obviously, lack of cars. But more specifically, lack of certain cars - for an avid muscle car fan like me, the fact there were pretty much NO classic muscle cars (e.g. Mercury Cougar, Dodge Charger/Challenger, Plymouth Barracuda, the 60s Camaro, etc) in the game annoyed me seeing as they were all present and correct in GT2. And the lack of tracks also annoyed me - Red Rock Valley had gone, as had Tahiti Road and Motor Sports Land, and the Test Course had been redesigned into a boring and empty blob - I much preffered it in GT2, where it was a narrow run with trees either side and the banking was hugely steep, and driving there was an actual challenge due to the narrowness of the circuit - almost like riding on a railway through a forest. Of course also the Racing Modifications (or lack of them) annoyed me a bit. But as KAMKA-Z said, you cant have it all, and until GT5 combines all the good bits from each GT, Ill still play the oldies just for the fun of it :P sorry waffle over.
PS slightly off topic but what is Enthusia? If its a PC game then Id understand why the physics are better (PCs offer more processing power generally then games consoles, but the gap is narrowing), but if its a console game, I might be interested.

Hey nothing wrong with that...I dug GT3 as well. :) It has plenty of good racing to be sure...it's just that there wasn't so many cars to explore the game with. :grumpy:

Enthusia is a racing game, actually I believe it was for the PS2 initially, tho you may be able to take it to a PC as well. From what I understand, the 2 games (GT and Enthusia) both have their pluses and minuses when compared one against the other. I've never played Enthusia, though. I don't think I've ever seen it in my gaming stores.

So its like this,
GT1 on the PSX is similar to GT3 on the PS2
GT2 on the PSX is similar to GT4 on the PS2
(but not the same! please don't get mixed up with that)
That's quite clever. So, the odd numbered games are the ones that are polished and the even numbered ones are the ones that forgo polish for quantity? I like it.

That's not an excuse for a poor physics engine.
Enthusia was a PS2 game, though.
 
I threw my GT3 in the garbage. Just hate the tirewear-rate, ruins every race:yuck:

But dude, you probably just had super-softs loaded on your car! Go fish your disc out of the garbage and put some harder tires on!
