Why seems people to so interestet in GT3 from playstation2? My son has this arcade game, and I don't think it is a racingsimulator at all. Nice graphics on telly (640x480), but no cockpit-view, and the cars phsycics is not THAT good. It is a fun game to relax to, but it is NOT a sim like GP3 or F1 2001 or Rally Trophy! -- -- B.T.

Not quite a sim, but pretty close all the same. And it lasts forever. And it's beautiful. And it's possibly the best video game ever made. And.........etc

Well, it's no GPL.
I can't really compare it to F1 2001 or Rally Trophy like you did. The reason for that, is I play those two games sitting infront of a FF Wheel and pedals. I (like most everyone) play GT3 sittin' on the couch with friends with a gamepad in my hand. If I was playing Rally Trophy on the couch with a gamepad, I wouldnt' call it much of a sim either..

Plus, it has a good numbers of cars. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
If your FF wheel is a Logitech, plug that sucker into the PS2's USB and try it then. The red FF wheel and the first blue ones (the GT3 edition) are identical to the computer - they both show up as blue wheels on PS2 and red wheels on a PC. Don't know about the yellow non-FF wheel, or the new blue wheel (which looks/feels like a piece of junk anyway). The programmers did an excellent job with writing the controls...then again, they did also have a GT3 steering wheel coming out, so they knew what they had to work with, heh...

Now, if only they'r rebrand the Playstation as a "2nd Generation DVD player" or something. Steve
