So I've listened to all three Japanese, European and North American intros, and it's probably because I grew up with the NA intro, but it feels like the NA intro is the most natural way the music started. The other two have a repeat of the first synth chord (when the Polyphony logo shows up) and then their respective songs start up a lot later. This one blends in nicely to where the pistons fire up in the intro.

The eeriness of the PS2 sounds and being inside the engine of car, then hearing Lenny Kravitz jam out as you leave the garage. What a great game. We laughed so hard at driving the wrong way and slamming into all the other cars and just ramming into everything on the track hahaha.

Huh? 2001 had simulation level games such as Il2-Sturmovik and MS flight simulator 2002 which are both far more technologically advanced in terms of physics and detail, along with truely giant maps. Then you have Civilization 3 which had way more features and depth than almost anything at the time. What about Tropico? How about the RPG Black and White? That had insane amounts of content for it's time compared to any racing games. Mech Warrior 4 had massive world's nearly 40 mechs with full customization massive battle, squad commands. What exactly did Gran Turismo 3 do that any other racing game didn't do that year? Hell 3 even removed features that were present in the previous game. I loved GT3 but what you're saying isn't even close my man.
