A 92 score from 139 devoted raters — the math of a game with a real following. Built for speed: non-fiction looks, arcade heart, and lap times you'll obsess over. Come for the campaign, stay because your friends won't let you leave the lobby. A 2001 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.

About this game

More than two years in the making, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec features over 150 detailed cars -- each composed of more than 4,000 polygons -- 60 beginner, amateur and professional championship races, as well as ten endurance races and ten rally races. In addition to all-new special effects, such as sun glare, heat distortion and reflections, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec also offers up a soundtrack of more than 20 licensed tracks, and an even better replay mode with TV-style camera views. Two players can go head-to-head via split-screen and up to six can duke it out by linking multiple systems together via i.LINK. Released worldwide in 2001, Gran Turismo 3 a-Spec was designed by Polyphony Digital.
