Gameplay

  Gameplay is awesome. Once I picked up the control, I couldn't put it down for hours, and hours, and hours. There are HUNDREDS of cars, and factor in all the things you can add on and adjust there are literally THOUSANDS of combinations for your car.

   The physics in the game were also the most realistic of any racing game ever. you can drift around turns, and bump steer your car. I also like the fact that you can heat up your tires via burnout or other means.

   I had a couple of problems with the game, first off, I wish they would of had some old Chevy Novas, or Camaros, or any older American cars. And another was that even though there were thousands of wheels, I wish they would of gotten Weld, or American Racing to sign on for wheels. And maybe have some more Engine hop ups like camshafts, compression, heads, and maybe factor in some nitrous systems for the cars.

Graphics

   The graphics in this game were nothing short of stunning for a racing game. The real-time renders looked like FMV (Full Motion Video). In fact, go out and buy this game, or rent it. I think its only 20 bucks now anyway. I cant explain all its splendor to you.

Sound

   Sound is really lacking in this game. But what was the last racing racing game with good sound anyway?

Longevity

    Man, this is a tough one. Giving the fact that you can get money a little to easily, it sort of gets momentous after a while.

Overall

     Overall I would say this game was well worth the buy. It led to numerous hours of racing with buddies, and little friendly bets. So my recommendation is to sell one of your kids off and buy a PS2, a memory card, and Gran Turismo 3.
