Game Description:

Buckle up and grip the analog stick—Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec for PlayStation 2 isn’t just a racing game, it’s a full-on driver’s license exam with better graphics and fewer judgmental instructors. Released in 2001 by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, this third entry in the franchise marked a massive leap into the next generation of sim racing and melted plenty of CRTs along the way.

With over 150 cars and meticulously modeled handling physics, GT3 brought a level of realism that was borderline obsessive. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper, a Toyota Supra, or that used Honda Civic you can’t afford to upgrade, this game made every corner feel like a career-defining moment.

Race your way through championships, license tests, time trials, and the occasional “I swear I braked in time!” wall slam. The visuals were stunning for their time and the soundtrack is pure early-2000s energy with just enough edge to make your pit stops feel dramatic.
