1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Game Ever, December 27, 2002

By

This is the worst game I have played for the PS2. I'm glad I only rented it. First off, the graphics are terrible. There are better games graphically for the Playstation. Only one of the cars is a liscenced rally car. The rest of them would make pathetic rally cars. When I think of rally cars I think of Subaru Imprezas and Pugeut 206s not Pontaic Grand Prixs and Vibes. Another low point is the physics. Cars handle the same on snow as they do on grass and concrete. If you stray from the road even a little distance your car slows down to a crawling speed. The courses don't look like rally courses either. I just don't understand driving through a city with skyscrapers and dirt roads. There are more weak points in the game, but I'm trying to keep this short, so in conclusion don't buy this game. If someone gives it to you don't play it. It will only waste your time and make you want to write a review like this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars At a price like that, you can overlook some flaws, August 13, 2002

The very first thing you notice is that GTC:Africa is a visually great looking game. And for a lower price point game, GTC can hold its own against the Rallisport Challenges (XBox), Sega Rallys (Dreamcast) and WRCs (PS2). While GTC has the look, the control is a bit of a sticking point. What GTC has going for it is a more forgiving controls that give you time to correct steering errors. That's the good part so you won't go flying into an embankment with one wrong tap of the analog stick. On the down side though, the cars feel extremely light and don't exhibit the correct physics when drifting through a turn or jumping a bump in the road. Despite this problem its still fun to play. The other major problem I had was the car selection. Although I haven't played the game in its entirety, there seems to be many trademark cars missing for a rally racing game. While GTC does have the obligatory Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6, rally powerhouses like Lancia and Pugeot have been replaced by Ford and Pontiac. Overall, not a bad game, but it has some work to do if ever a sequel should be made.

5.0 out of 5 stars GTC Africa, July 20, 2002

For the kid who said that he liked GT3 better, is just a kid, of course GT3 was rated the best racing platform game made for the PS2, so nothing could really obviously beat that. I own GTC Africa and think it is a wonderful game, the graphics are excellent(pretty F*&%ing close to GT3), and the gameplay is life-like and stimulating. Anyone who enjoys racing/driving games should go out and pick this one up.-Nate
