Grand Prix 3

[old.Alex^]

I am thinking of buying Grand Prix 3 as I have seen it in a shop for £14.98 which I think is a good price. But I have heard it needs a fast PC to run decent. Well basicaly this is your chance to tell me bout the game; is it good, what PC you got and how does it run.

BTW, I have a:

AMD K6-3 450
128meg RAM
Voodoo 3 3000
SBLive! 1024

I think that should be ok, tell us if you need more.

Thanks a lot in advance etc

Sickening

But is the game any good?

To be blunt, it will struggle. Its * ok * on my celeron 366@458 and tnt2 with 128meg combo...
taking into consideration that the k6 3 performs like a ballet dancer with 3 broken legs, i don't think it will run too great .. mind you, i DO run with details turned up.. if you run it low detail it should run ok. Mind you, for 15 quid, what a snip, it WILL run, and it will certainly be playable.. you can't really go wrong.
Your's won't run as quick as mine would, but i get a fair few fps when im out on my own.. its just while your in a pack of cars when things start to get itchy for a brand spanking new p3.

I'd say buy it, hell, its a BLOODY good game. Takes a bit of getting used to but the game is more or less faultless. And dont forget to download the 4 meg patch if you do buy it.

So...

I got it, it's very good, i'd recomend it. It runs good on my PC as well, but hates it when loads of cars come up.

How fucking hard is it with all the assitance's turned off, but its funny, I always try and hit the flag fellas as well



well I got it, its good, i'd recomend it
