GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing GBA

GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing is the next installment of one of the most famous "pocket racers". This series was launched in 2001. The first part of GT Advance focused the player's attention on races of well-known sports cars. The continuation published a year later changed the subject matter completely. We had to deal with car rallies. This time, however, it was decided to return to the tried and tested diagrams. The game again offers quite standardized asphalt sections. The main difference, however, is that instead of serially produced vehicles, we mainly test concept cars. Since the game was created in Japan, the models come from that country. GT Advance 3 is in many ways similar to the Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo-Geneva game released on PS2.

This third part is quite a realistic race. The driving model used by the manufacturers requires quite good mastery of the currently controlled vehicle. It is also worth mentioning that the differences in the behaviour of individual vehicle models are relatively large. GT Advance 3 uses an impressive glide system similar to the second part of the series, which makes it possible to negotiate certain corners in a more interesting and quicker way at the same time.

The game contains almost 100 licensed machines from manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota and Nissan. In the initial phase of the game you can only choose between a dozen or so vehicles. The next ones are unlocked as the game progresses. The key point of the program is, of course, the extensive tournament mode. The next races are held in more than forty different facilities. They are definitely bigger than those that appeared in the first part of the series. The possibility of tuning existing machines has been preserved, thanks to which they not only look nicer, but also become faster. Visually, GT Advance 3 is by far the best of the series. In particular, this can be seen in the example of nicely modelled vehicles. The environment was also good.
