Ok, heading over there after I finish this message. A sim reviewer sticking
his neck out in this sub-thread deserves a read.

Eh... quite. Other way around actually, but seeing as I haven't tried GT3
yet, I'm not going to argue relative merit.

Hmm... I see. Ok, I'll keep that in mind.

Forget it Randy, these simmers won't touch a console with a ten foot stick.
Shame, they all missed out on J&L Stock Car Racing (TOCA:WTC in the UK).  I
agree, it is the best RACING game on any platform.

Two things:

!) Don't generalise, many RAS contributers own consoles. While I personally
don't see them capable of competing with the PC for the kind of racing
experience I prefer, this doesn't mean there aren't certain things and
genres which consoles do very well. The fact I have neither the time, nor
the inclination to use that capability doesn't reflect on the quality of the
games written specifically for the medium, IMO.

2) Kindly put comments related to Randy's post in a reply to his post, not
mine. -Thanks.

I should correct myself. I mean Gran Turismo, not Gran Turismo 3.  The
original Gran Turismo caused Alison Hine, then beta testing GPL, to
humorously call me in on the carpet because she was neglecting to
write as many beta test bug reports because she was ***ed to GT.

Cheers,

Randy

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

I've meanwhile read the two reviews you mentioned. Nice work. I'll be
checking your reviews in future.
