Alright, i love driving games!! Especially ones that look at feel like driving a real car. This game falls short on all counts. The graphics for the game are impressive, but that is about it. No attention to driving details. Steering reacts like you are driving a go-cart, and handling is very unrealistic. The problem lies in the fact that when the car turns it pivots from the exact center of the car. instead of the front wheels pulling the car in the diretion of the turn..

If you like driving games and want to spend your money on a driving game, go get Ridge Racer V, or GT3. This one is a waste of time...

Driving Emotion Type-S(uck)

I had bought this game when I first got my PS2 back in 2002 from a bargain bin, it became brutally honest why I found it there once I started playing...

The first no-no I encountered was the control...a big no-no, it was complete and utter trash and in a racing game that reduces the game to nothingness pretty much. To add to that however, was the fact that a few reviewers said in all audacity that people just can't handle racing games if they can't handle the controls in this...I've never heard a more foolish statement. In truth the controls on this game are completely fake and NOT AT ALL based on real cars, I know because I work on them in real life. It's not a matter of skill that keeps people from being able to play this game, it's a matter of the game being poorly and shamefully made. The game is getting bashed because it's just not a good game, good graphics alone will never make me accept a game, people need to look deeper than that and I'm pleased that the vast majority of reviewers of this game have done just that.

No stress though, I moved on and tried tweaking the settings, this however did absolutely nothing, nothing at all. This game was weakly made and took absolutely no strides whatsoever to add to the genre, to add to that, the music was god-awful so having to mute the game and play a CD was annoying. I almost beat the game, however by then Gran Turismo 3 A-spec had arrived on the market and once I'd gotten that...Driving Emotion Type-S dissapeared "mysteriously". *chuckles*

I will say that there was one thing about the game that was cool at that point in time, you could edit the colors of your fleet of vehicles and save those schemed cars on your memory card along with individual settings. That didn't matter in the least in the following months at the time and now the following years, because optional schemes on cars is the norm in racing games now, it's nothing new.

Unfortunately this when a game this uninspiring is produced, it insults not only the genre it's under, but also what it means to be a gamer. I didn't take this game too seriously finding it in that bargain bin, because I had purchased it to hold me over until GT3's anticipated release. However this game under-performed my standards so badly that it wasn't worth a quarter to me. My only "Driving Emotion" that started with an "S" was the "Type" called sickness.
