Just got TRD3, very good. Graffics wise no where near GT4 but then at least its realistic unlike GT4 in respects to damage.

Im only gripe is that Graham Hill bend at Brands on TRD3 is wrong, small error i know but it bugs me. Im sure there are quite a few other tracks with incorrect corner layouts.

Much fun this game - rallying is still pretty poor though. Have just tried a little experiment with the american muscle cars - too many doughnuts and your rears will overheat and then explode.

Cheers!
Have got about 20% now anyway, think I'll just carry on manually and unlock everything

Just got it, and working through the Open Wheel and Classic classes in Pro Career mode.

Handling is definitely better than RD1 and RD2, but the audio is a bit weird, especially when passing underneath bridges, etc. There are also occasional buzzing and crunching noises that appear for no apparent reason.

The one thing I really don't like is the AI: it rams you more often than even the RD1 and 2 AI did. At least the AI in previous games didn't ram you up the backside in a perfectly straight, constant-speed run. In this game, they don't really hesitate to do you in from behind at any random moment. The only AI improvement seems to be that the AI drivers will move over, or stay their line, when you're clearly passing.

As for the graphics, it's an overall improvement in detail, but there is too much washing out of colours. Everything looks like it's been painted in neon colours. Urgh...
