I don't really understand all this junk about "realistic controls"

I have played GT3... in what way are those controls "realistic"

You've just never plugged your PS2 controller into the lighter slot.

They all have realistic handling since you turn your vehicle with an analog sick, just like a real car.

What other game uses a WHEEL in a racing game? I mean.. a WHEEL. I nearly crapped my pants when I saw it.

A wheel without pedals and the gearstick is like a joystick without any buttons...
