So I got a PS2 on ebay and I got both these games.

My PS3 is broken and I dont have GT5.

I have read mixed reviews some say GT3 was best GT4 had better graphics but is not better game.

Others say GT4 is better as it had more tracks/cars.

Which should I play?
 
GT4 has much more content but I always loved GT3 more. It has a better soundtrack for sure and it was just a special game, the graphics are almost identical, there's not much in it.
 
Agreed, I played GT3 much more than GT4, it just seemed to be missing that feeling I got from 1, 2 & 3.

In fact I still get GT3 out on occasion when my mates come over :D

I've never tried GT5 as of yet.
 
i would go for 4, even though i did play 3 quite a bit i've never gone back to it where as i did buy a ps2 about 6 months ago just to play gt4 again.
 
You people talk of loving GT series, you MUST buy PS3 & GT5. Only reason i bought my ps3 was for GT5 and i dont regret it for one second. Logitech G25 / G27 is a must though imo.

ive been a little put off with gt5...last time i played it was quite some months ago but when i did it had different physics for single player and different physics for multiplayer. it just doesnt make sense to me. setting a car up and getting great times only to go into mp and the car handle very differently.
 
You can adjust the settings to put MP the same as SP.



I preferred GT4's immense car selection and the nurburgring, although GT3 does have a very good atmosphere. You cant go wrong either way both are fun games.

If your looking for 100% completion then GT3 is infinitely easier as GT4 has several 24h endurance races.
 
3 had a good soundtrack (second time Feeder and Ash had been in the gt game and they had matured well like the games) but 4 is so much more fun to play as a game. The extra races, cars and general things to do made it more fun :)

Im going to crack out 4 at some point with the wheel and see if I enjoy it more than 5, which was a let down
 
Just to be different I'll say GT4.
Probably played them both equally but GT4 was just a bit more win.
I liked the photo mode and the driving challenges, menu system was a bit of a pain but it wasn't a game ruiner.

Am I right with my memories, GT3 didn't have the Nordschleife? Worth getting 4 just for that. :)
 
GT3 for me, it just has more character and I suppose that's due to it being the first proper GT title on the PS2, whereas GT4 was just a GT3 rehash + some more features, cars etc. Man, I loved GT3, though I think at the time, GT2 may have been even better!

Please don't say GT5 is good. That means I'll have to buy a PS3 for just that game. Not good for my wallet! Wish there was a PC version, I really do.

On a related note, what's next for the GT series and Polyphony Digital? GT6?

EDIT: Feeder in the soundtrack is also win, one of my all time favourite bands. IIRC they had some good tracks in all the GT games that I have (1-4). 'Sweet 16' anyone?

I don't know why people are disappointed with GT5, I think it's a brilliant game. :)

Sweet 16 is amazing! Loved Chicken on a bone, Tangerine and Shade on the first one too, never realised how much I loved the first Feeder stuff till that game.

3 MADE Just a day too :cool:
 
Neither. I can't say any of the PS2 or PS3 efforts have matched the brilliance of GT2 or GT1. I would happily tolerate the graphics for the gameplay on either.

I thought GT5 was a bit of a joke, PP spent so much of their budget on realism they forgot to allocate any to making it fun. Shame. :(

Played them all to death! Well... not 2 for some reason, I wasn't really fussed on 2. :p

Probably one of the worst things that anyone has ever admitted to in the history of humankind.

You didn't like GT2!? :eek:
How can this be? It's the best of the lot of them! I still think it's one of the best console racers I have played. Far better than a good amount of the rubbish that's released today.
Only thing that hurts now is the graphics... Ugh.
 
I can understand peoples gripes with GT5, the lack of premium cars (im sorry but i refuse to drive standards without cockpit view) and the lack of tracks as opposed to some games. But what i really do love is the physics (singleplayer everything off simulation wheel setting and ABS at 1) With a Logitech G25 its awesome fun.

Im not too keen on the way the menu is set out and i also feel that the SP physics should be the same as MP BUT after all that i still love it.

Besides its the first GT game with Lambo's which is pure bonus points.

Its certainlly come along way since release anyway it was released way too early i think still but after all that i just love gt5
