Gran Turismo 3 Aspec

Gran Turismo 3 Aspec

From Amazon

It is an amazingly realistic racing and driving simulation game with beautiful graphics, realistic movements, and engine sounds recorded from the real thing, and is the third installment in the “Gran Turismo” series, which is the most popular racing game. The image quality drops slightly during the race, but the previews and demo screens that reproduce one's own driving after the race are as beautiful as live action. Even people who aren't really interested in cars are caught by the scattering sparks and the dust smoke that soars up. There are 150 types of cars available, and they have a wide range of cars, from general cars to formula cars. It's as fun as a racing game, and by challenging various races, you can save money to tune up your car, buy a high-performance car, and participate in even higher level races. Not only does it compete for driving techniques, but it's also fun to build your own car, so it's probably one of the games you can play for a long time. If connected via i.LINK, up to 6 people can participate simultaneously, and matches such as time attacks are also possible. (AKIZUKI AKIHIKO)

reviews

It's such a playful RCG. There are also elements like the number of courses has increased, and the number of races has been prepared over 80, etc., but the simpler reason is that operating the car itself is fun. Especially dirt courses. Whereas severe driving was required in the previous game, it was difficult to drive straight, I was surprised that exhilarating drift driving was easy in “3.” This is thanks to the fact that since the hardware became PS2, the behavior of the car can now be conveyed to the player in more detail, and at the same time, various assist functions are included that suppress spin and tell the timing of shift changes. Furthermore, the feeling of operation using the dedicated steering wheel “GT FORCE” is also very pleasant! The tire's feeling of contact with the ground is transmitted directly from right to left as the steering wheel responds, so once you use it, you'll be addicted to it. One more thing you must not forget is the beautiful graphics. Not only is the CG of the car drawn in every detail, but the depiction of scenery such as sunlight, sunlight filtering through the trees, and clear blue skies is actually amazing. You can run as if you were sightseeing on a course that imitates Aoyama Street in Tokyo, Rome, Seattle, and Monaco all over the world. Don't miss the replay scene, which makes full use of PS2's unique video effects and bold camera angles. There are fewer recorded models than the previous game, so I feel that it's unsatisfactory at first, but the unreleased RX-8, the new Fairlady Z, the panda Trueno that the main character of a certain comic rides, and finally F1 machines (!!) Until now, smart cars, which can only be thought of as developers' hobbies, have become even more popular. This is a masterpiece that stimulates all the pressure points of car lovers!
