Okay, i got this game from Japan before PS2 was even released anywhere else, so i've had the time to play it quite a bit. At first you won't like this game, but you've gotta give it a chance. The steering is really sensitive, but it doesn't take too long to master. Once you've mastered it the game is actually really fun, especially when you start getting the new tracks and cars. You actually get totally hooked to the game once you start winning. The verses mode is also a lot of fun to mess around with and it's always worth watching the unreal graphics of the replays. Most people will just rule it off as a bad game straight off and never play it again, but then again, most people are morons. So stop judging too quickly, give it a go, and you'll actually have a lot of fun with it.

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

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.

It will tide you over untill April 15!!

I bought this game becuase i could not wait for Gran Tourismo 3 any longer, i was pleasantly surprised. i had read the reviews about the control, but i also heard that that was limited to the Japanese release. There are plenty of great cars to choose from the tracks are challenging and fun. the graphics arent anything special but they are good, far better than the GT2 on psx. i find that the best control is the view from the front bumper, if you control the car from behind the car the car goes all over the place.. and the inside the car view is basically a novelty.. i reccomend this game if you want realistic racing on your PSX2.. if you can wait for GT3, by all means wait.. overall a strong effort..

list of annoying stuff:

1. when you shift gears with the inside the car view, the driver doesnt take his hand off the wheel to shift.

2. the cars turn thier headlights on under EVERY overpass even if it is only like 20 feet long.

3. you cant switch cars in the replays or pick your own angles

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.

wait for gt3

I rented this game from Blockbuster last week and I agree with the general consensus that it is way too difficult to control. For the first 3 days i had it i struggled in just getting the car to go in a straight line. After playing with the menu controls and the setup options i finally got the car under rough control (set up all of your suspension options to hard). The graphics are incredible though and there is a pretty good sensation of speed. I didn't think the gameplay itself was that great though. This game only whetted my appetite for GT3.

The graphics are once again great with PS2 but it was difficult adjusting to the sensitive controls. The music soundtrack wasn't very exciting either. It sounded very 80's. The other thing I didn't like was the ability to select all the cars on the line-up initially. I guess they want you to get used to the controls first. In my opinion, wait for Grand Turismo.

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.
