It's not perfect, but it does capture the all-important essence of seat-of-your-pants racing against other human opponents in officially sanctioned events better than any other console game ever. And yes, that includes GT3.

An outstanding update of the Dreamcast version–-does truly replicate this most unique of races, while not forcing players to endure a full day of gaming.

Don’t overlook this one – it’s quite quietly one of the most agreeable racers we’ve seen for some time.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
This doesn’t mean for one second though, if you own "GT3," you shouldn’t own Le Mans. The two games are totally different, and Le Mans is still definitely a must have for racing fans.

Nice graphics aside, the real strength of Le Mans lies in its superb controls and physics, a well-balanced system that walks the fine line between realism and fun. [Oct 2001, p.145]
IGN
It's an exhilarating driving experience. It plays exactly like the Dreamcast version: It's fast, provides plenty of challenge, and has all of the extra stuff the Dreamcast version didn't. It's just doesn't look or sound as good.

Less-than-impressive graphics and underwhelming sound aside, we cannot help but recommend highly Le Mans 24 Hours to the simulation driving fans out there that are done (or stumped) completing "GT3: A-Spec".
Read Full Review >GameZone
A great characteristic of this game is that you typically race against fifteen other cars (sixteen cars total) and in the Le Mans race the total is twenty-four cars! This is in contrast to the typical six driver racing games, which are quite boring after experiencing this.

Le Mans fans who don't have a Dreamcast should by all means pick it up.

The handling is drastically better than it was on the PSone, but horrendous anti-aliasing issues, draw-in, and loading times are still present.
Read Full Review >Cloudchaser
There's something a bit anticlimactic about the game... When you pull into the lead, win a race, or improve upon your lap time it would make the experience so much more gratifying if you got some acknowledgment, whether visual or audible.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
This Le Mans is more like coming down from a caffeine binge than the exciting beginning, especially when there are fresher drugs, err… games, like "GT3" just waiting to be played.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
Falls short of what I think it intended to accomplish. The guts [are] there with the good control and tight physics model, but the presentation is not up to the level it should be.
Read Full Review >Next Generation Magazine
Yet another checkpoint-to-checkpoint semi-sim, and racers yearning for something new will run out of gas quickly. [Nov 2001, p.105]
GamePro
The visuals and sound are the major sore spots of Le Mans. The graphics are grainy and not very sharp, especially when you’re driving at night or in the rain.

If "Gran Turismo 3 A-spec" was like opening Christmas presents as a kid, then Le Mans 24 Hours is a lot like getting mugged.

Very cool game worth buying better than gt3.
Alex B. gave it a 10:
This game is awesome it is the only game that lets you race for a full 24 hours and it has way more cool prototype cars than gt3.its simulation isnt as good as gt3 but the sense of speed is amazing and the way the game shows the difference between a porshe 911 gt3 and a nissan r390 is also very good.and it has a well modelled pit crew that replaces fuel and changes the tires.all up it is a great game, it doesnt have the best graphics but it is a very life like le mans simulator 10/10.
Hurley H. gave it a 10:
