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.

you guys aren't good at racing games

When mastered, the controls aren't bad.
You guys complain too much, making a huge deal about every single flaw.
Why don't you find a game that's "easier" for you since it seems like that you can't handle the skill it takes to play a game like Drive Emotion Type-S.

Ok this game is so bad that i got a virus after playing it

I hate this game, absolutely hate it. I hate it so bad that whenever I turned it off I threw up. I had the flu for a week. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to like this game so much that I played for a day. I have never hated a game, or even dislike one, but this one I hate a lot.

Square working on a racing title!?

When an RPG company makes a racing title you pretty much know to avoid it. At least I did.

This is the absolutely worse driving game ever. I would rather play Pole Position than this game anyday. The controls are absolutely horrendous, with your car wanting to skid 24-7 on every turn. The in-view camera is even worse. The game attempts to copy Gran Turismo, but the game fails miserably at achieving mediocre status. To put it mildly, after purchasing the game, I returned the game within a day. Overall, get this game if you're desperate. Otherwise, stick with any other driving title -- even Looney Tunes Racing is much better than this.

This game is stupid

I rented this game about 2 days ago and returned it yesterday. THE CONTROLLS ARE TERRIBLE! It feels like the cars are floating. The only reason why it got 2 stars is because the graphics are great and the cars are cool. I can't believe Squaresoft made this. There games are always good. Just wait for Gran Turismo 3.

Very bad

When playing with 2 players, the screen shakes every now and then.

The road doesn't change it's speed to reflect the car speed.

Very poor simulations.

Fortunately, I rented it :)

Very disappointing ...............

I bought this and 11 other games for my grandson. He tried to play it for 30 minutes and gave up, hasn't played it since.

The controls are impossible to use -- I tried it myself.

Wal-Mart won't exchange it, guess I'll use it for a frizbee this summer.

what a bunch of whiners!!!!!!!!!
