Re: GP3 Vote - This is a MUST BUY!

22 posts by 17 people · 28 Jul 2000 - 31 Jul 2000 08:33 UTC

Poll: is Grand Prix 3 a must-buy?

Matt Lanzer asked readers who thought GP3 a must-buy to say so, and many fans of GP1 and GP2 agreed it was great fun. Others noted it was more about gameplay than realism and easier to pick up than GPL. Greg Cisko and Nos mocked some supporters.

Automated summary.

It's a must buy - but that's not to say that it couldn't have had a few more new features given the lengthy wait.

This is where my vote goes, but I guess 50% of RAS readers should steer clear...GP3 is no GPL - and THANK CHRIST FOR THAT!! Doug Dennis <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's a Must Buy only if you enjoy racing simulators that are current, run on your PC and IMHO a lot of fun to mess around with. I don't know about the rest of the group, but I don't have 4 hours a day to play computer games, and even if I did have the time, there's more to life... like girls, liquor, clubs... you know, adult stuff. If you are going to prattle on incessantly about "poor this" or "unrealistic that", stop playing it. Yeah, I waited a long time for this game myself, and even bought a new PC so I could run it properly... and you know what? I can play this game. Simple as that. I just wanted a game with decent 3d, good gameplay and that's what I got... or, at least thats what I ordered from the UK. I will say that there are lots of valid likes and dislikes going back and forth in this group, but really... it is a GAME. No men will lose their lives, the shuttle will not explode. It is a game. It is fun. Matt Lanzer wrote: > If you feel this game is a must buy, please reply in this thread. Thx > > Warlock!

Its a good game , i'm not doubting that...... but its one of those games you can put on and be into the swing of it within 10 mins...........unlike gpl which too is a good game in its own respects, but for different reasons.....you cant have a 10 minute bash on gpl and drive well, you need to give it your full attention for 2hours......... having the benefit of trying the warez version, I have bought the full version at lunch time.............so too me its a MUST BUY!!!!!! oz.

Yup. You are right. That's also the reason I like the game. But the newsgroup is called rec.autos.simulators. And the ad's for gp3 tell you it's a sim. But it isn't. It's much more focused on gameplay than on realism. Sjoerd
