The third installment of Gran Turismo varies little from its predecessors in the way of gameplay. However, there are several new features worth mentioning. This sequel utilizes the advanced hardware power of the PS2 to bring more realism and detail to an already classic game. Most importantly, car graphics have been greatly improved from past versions.

Licenses to one of the vastest arrays of automobile makes and models allow for countless variations in gameplay.
