GP3: Why I don't like it.

Namely because for the past several months it seemed that people off handedly slagged F1 2000 with "or wait until GP3 comes out". My question is how they knew GP3 would be any better. Their assumption is that it would be better. So this is my revenge :-) Well GP3 does appear to be nothing more than a W98 port of GP3 with some added weather effects (which I do believe are great). So I am having a little fun :-) At one time I was a totally behind the crammond games. Until it came out that GP2 had the SloMo stuff which was in World Circuit. I had played both games exhaustively that could easily win against the highest level. I couldn;t match the individual lap times that some people were posting, but so what. Each game was mastered. In fact once you got the hang of each game it isn't really much of a challenge. I really did not have high hopes for F1 2000, but F1RS was getting tired. Again it seemed like many people dismissed F1RS because of GP2... Anyway with all of it's warts, F1 2000 isn't really that bad. Further I think I have pretty much said my piece with regards to GP3 and for the most part will leave the GP3 lovers alone. Unless I need a laugh or something :-) Cheers... -- [email hidden]

So GP3 = GP3. Hard to argue with that logic.

There is always a new challenge with GPL (for me at least). The better driver I become, the more I understand the subtle changes the setup features allow. The more I experiment with new setup strategies, the better driver I become. Add to this the rich online racing capabilities of GPL and the other fans that are doing the same thing I am, and you have a product that continues to be challenging. While GPL may not have everything (i.e., weather, new fancy graphics, etc.), what it does have makes for a GREAT product and next to Indianapolis 500 the Simulation, it is the one racing simulation program that I have stayed with for year after year. Which it may continue to do until the West Brothers show us their product. I am not even sure N4 will come close to GPL, but I am willing to be pleasantly surprised.... -- **************************** Michael E.

The majority of posts i've read here from people who have had positive things to say about GP3 have been realistic and have also admitted the failings the game has. I don't see any posts here saying it's perfect. GP3, F1 2000, MGPRS2, none of these games are as good as they should have been. They all have good and bad points.
