Product Description

From the Developer

SEGA GT 2002 features more than 100 current and classic high performance vehicles, created using the exact handling and performance specifications from their real-life counterparts. Chronicle mode puts gamers behind the wheel of muscle cars from the '70s and '80s, while Quick Battle mode lets players jump right into the action with perfectly tuned modern machines. The SEGA GT 2002 mode is where the true test lies: win races and collect the necessary cash to buy new cars and upgrade the classics. Gamers can even showcase cars in the Virtual Garage alongside trophies and other mementos. With astounding vehicle control, incredibly deep gameplay, and multiple modes to conquer, Sega GT 2002 is one of the most realistic driving experiences available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most realistic console racer for the Xbox, September 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sega GT 2002 (Video Game)

This game really surprised me in how realistic it is. I've played realistic sim racers for the PC, and have been waiting for a good simulation on the Xbox. This game delivers. The handling of the cars felt very comfortable, the Acura NSX is so much easier to drive around twisty tracks than a Dodge Viper for example, and you can feel the differences in handling between a midengine platform and a Front engine, front-wheel drive car. Just make sure to turn off traction and spin control aids and the cars will drift and slide just like in the real world when pushed beyond their limits.

The graphics are great, everything runs at a silky smooth 60fps. It has a realistic cinema look, rather than the obvious "toy story" style computer-generated graphics. Realism is what this game is after, so the sense of speed when you're in 1st person view is not too slow as some people have complained. This is not the same type of game as the Need for Speed series.

The cars are customizable, every time I pick the game up I have to keep playing to earn more money for the next upgrade. It's very addictive. I think after I beat the game, I'll still enjoy occasionally popping the disc in and take a spin in some of the real-life cars such as the Subaru WRX, Acura RSX, Audi TT, or even a Dodge Viper every now and then, or race them against a friend. It's like having a virtual garage of the hottest cars and places to race them right inside my xbox.

The driving physics in this game are so good, it might even make you a better driver in real life!

4.0 out of 5 stars good but not great, September 12, 2002

This review is from: Sega GT 2002 (Video Game)

ok i dont know what some ppl r talking about. first of all, this game has amazing graphics. the cars, roads, barriers, and background buildings are very detailed. trees and people are terrrible. second, the sounds are phenominal. every car has a distinct engine noise (and going through tunnels sounds really cool too). The only bad thing about the sound is def. the music (which is some japenese techno crap) but u can play the music saved on your hard drive so the music shouldnt be a problem.

The selection of cars is impressive but not amazing. i was dissapointed by the lack of any bmw's. also most of the cars are biased towards japenese makers. About the customization system, its in depth enough for me. you can adjust turbo boost pressure, camber, gear ratios, suspension, brakes, tires and you can buy a few upgrades: exhaust system, intercooler, port polishing, weight rediction, tuned rom, turbochargers, tires, brakes, suspension and a few other things. this should be enough for all but the most anal players. The other modes are ok but not quite as good as the sega gt mode. you have your standard quick battle and time attack and you also have chronichle mode in which you race cars form one era (70's, 80's etc).

all in all sega gt 2002 is a good all around racing game for xbox. project gotham was way too hard towards the and and had too few cars. rallisport was an excellent game but it was rally only (thats not a complaint, i love rally). burnout is an insane arcade racer thats not 2 great at anything and wreckless is another great but its a mission based arcade game.i give sega gt 2002 a 4.3 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Segrantourismo..., November 9, 2002

By

This review is from: Sega GT 2002 (Video Game)

What can you say about this game? The first few hours I played this game I didn't really love it. The cars in quick battle tend to understeer and the racetracks are not as beautiful as seen in Grantourismo 3 on PS2 (Seattle Circuit...). But when you're playing Sega GT2002 mode...this game is highly addictive. The first car you can buy is a Fiat, go to your first races start tuning and saving for new cars. Here the pros and cons:

+nice looking cars
+fine sound
+motivating career mode
+nice enemy AI
+pay for your mistakes
+good (tuned) car handling
+2d animated spectators
+blurring air at higher speeds
+tune your car and let your opponents breathe dust
-I'd like more tuning options
-I've seen better trees and landscapes
-I'd like more tracks
-drag races vs cpu in split screen only
-stupid replay studio
-no rain, fog...
-only one type of sport tires
-no calibration for analog controller/racing wheels

That's a lot of "-", but this one is well worth your purchase and comes with my unqualified recommendation.
