The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>The graphics are of another world. Jeez. The physics of the game has improved, though the AI cars still have much(not that I've noticed). The wheel makes a world of difference. Get one side of the car on the border of the road and the wheel will jutter against your hands as you try to maintatin control. I just got this yesterday, I'm working towards getting all gold in the B license so I can get a free car.

Need just one more.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Up yours, G-Man. Up yours... it's the afternoon of July 12th, and it still hasn't come in anywhere here.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I didn't even pre-order. ToysRus near me ordered like at least 500 copies and I got one of'em. Funny how the stacks of PS2 in the store dwindled down to about three or four after GT3 came out.</div>

<div style='font: bold 12pt "Comic Sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I agree, this game is got, picked it up the morning of the 11th. The wheel's a tad pricey tho :) Shit, I got bronze on all my license tests :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>This is what happens when games get delayed like hell and then improved (instead of rushed out for a launch title).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>GT2....great....yet so incomplete! GT3....great....and not a moment too late!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Like the ability to adjust sound effect and music volume... I can barely hear the racing music in the game, and it's a shame 'cause is isn't half bad. I don't think you could do this in the first game (I never played GT2), but still, they should've put that in there.
Also, you can no longer chose which two camera angles you want. I find the behind the car view to be too low (when you're going down any hill, no matter how slight, you can't really see what's in front of you... and I grow tired of switching the views back and forth.
This seems a lot more difficult than the first game, too. I remember in GT1 after you beat the Sunday Cup you get a cash prize, plus a Demio you can sell for $12,000. Add that money to the money you can get for selling your shitty car, and you can buy a pretty good one. In GT3, the cars you win for Sunday and Clubman cup only fetch you around $3000-4000 each, and even after selling them and your starting car, you don't really have enough to buy some good wheels... or at least, I don't.
Ech... I tried selling everything and buying a nice FTO, putting some shit in it, and still it's not fast enough to compete in the better circuits. Gah well... I'll try again tomorrow.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>This sucker grips the road REALLY well! Now I just gotta get bronze trophies in the other licenses and I cna save this as a GT3 startup slot!!!

I've played a little bit with the Sunday and Clubman stages with the MX-5 and it was too easy. Especially with the Logitech wheel(though it was easier to use the PS2 controller for the license tests). I love the improved physics but the AI cars are still dumb.

Anyway, I have friends who own GT3 and we're gonna iLink each other. Now THAT'S competition!!!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Of course. If they had rushed this game out as a launch title (remember "GT2000") then it woulda just been a port of GT2 with minor additions.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica; text-align: left; '>The game's not as innovative as it is amazing... but I find it to be addictive as hell. I got a souped out Civic type R like that little mexican dude in the Fast and the Furious. 421 HP... sweet!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>True...they can only tweak the physics so much. All's left are eye candy and newer tracks and cars. Too bad there's no "Used Cars" section. And $250 for en oil change? Good gravy!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>All they're missing is the neon glow from under the car option. God, to think a few years ago graphics like these were only seen in FMV cinema scenes. Reaffirms my belief in the human race.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Hell yeah. If I had a nickel for every time that someone playing a PSX had said "I wish the GAMES looked as good as the FMV does."</div>

<div style='font: bold 11pt ; text-align: left; '>i want a paint shop, some of the cars you win come in nasty colors.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica; text-align: left; '>and what the fuck is up with a 50$ car wash? LOL!</div>

<div style='font: bold 12pt "Comic Sans MS"; text-align: left; '>How exactly do you iLink?</div>
