GP3 is a good game!

Here's my thoughts on this game, based on the first impressions
after a couple of hours play.

It has a great feel, much like GP2. Not like driving on ice
like for example MGPRS2 (which was IMHO the best F1-game so far).
Without any driving assistants you can go out and drive laps
without spinning all the time. Only when you try to drive at
the limit, it becomes more difficult.

Graphics aren't wery good (ok, they are crap), but the
playability makes up for it. I prefer good playability
to good graphics any time. And on my machine (K6-2 450)
it's possible to play this comfortably. Not like F1 2000
which was a slide show with more than one car (it's the
AMD thing...) I'm actually very pleased with this.
Remember how GP2 wasn't really playable with most of the
machines people had when it was released?

I think this is a good game, but then again I don't have
time to practise a game for weeks (like I should do with
GPL). This is somewhere between a ***-sim and a good
racing game, just what I need.

Agree with you on most points but I really don't think the graphics are bad
at all... maybe I am in the minority here with this view.
I am still disappointed with the things that have been left out but even so
it is the best modern F1 sim at the moment. I enjoy F1 2000 but it simply
needed too much tweaking for most people whereas GP3 is ready out of the
box.
