The game is great, but I didn't know that Celicas were classic sports cars. Control-5 stars; Graphics-4 stars; Music-3 stars; Replay Value-4.5 stars. If the game would have had more classic American cars I would have given it a 5 star rating. The only American cars are the Dodge Viper and the limited production Cobra R Mustang. No Camaros, Firebirds, or even Corvettes. Porches, Ferarris, and BMWs would have also added to the game. Most race car fans would prefer to race American cars, unless your into imports >8(. Hopefully part 2 for the X-box will include more american cars, and some muscle cars.

So addicting . . .

This is one of the best games ive ever played on sega dreamcast. You get to get some nice cars (and some ... ones) and you can ... them out. This means upgrade and ad parts and engine, and even get nicer rims!! There are two cons to this game: 1. you cant make the apearence of the car better besides the rims. 2. you can drive your beast into ne thing and it will stay in showroom condition. I really like the reality of racers where you can damage your car like in Need For Speed for the PC, but other than those two things, this game is exelent.
So buy it!!!!

The best racing simulation on Dreamcast

I can't say I blame Sega for copying Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo was a hell of a game for Playstation, so Sega decided to take something great and make it better. Though Sega didn't make it better than Gran Turismo, they came close, and the result is the beautiful Sega GT. The graphics are mouth watering, the control is smooth, and the gameplay is tight. The only problem is that there is a very steep learning curve when you want to try the Hard Class cars like the Viper, the control is very very sensitive and if you put too much speed into it and crash, you'll be flipped around backwards. It takes a lot of time to master this game, just like Gran Turismo, but in the end you'll be satisfied with this gem of a Dreamcast game.

Good, but not good enough!

I dont know if my expectations for this game were too lofty, I was expecting a game at least as good as Gran Turismo, but it is not. The graphics going along with most all Dreamcast games are very good, as a matter of fact the best graphics to date for a racing game. But the problem with this game seems to be the same problem that has plagued other dreamcast titles. The problem is that the game seems to have been hastily produced and the game seriously suffers for that. There are only around 100 cars in the game. That might be enough for some, but Gran Turismo 2 has many, many more cars, and the Dreamcast is supposed to be a superior system so therefore it should produce a game that is just as good or better than Gran Turismo. Secondly the tracks are not very interesting and many times hard to navigate. Another poor point to the game is the sound. The sound effects are LOUSY. The cars do not sound like real cars. For example the turbo cars in Gran Turismo have a noticeable turbo whine which distinguished them from the non turbo cars, that sound is not there in Sega Gt (I dont think that is too nitpicky, I drive a car with a turbo, and you can definitly hear it when it spools up). I think that example just shows how Sega Gt is nowhere near as thorough as Gran Turismo. Some people may not think its fair to compare the two games, but if you have played Sega Gt you can see that it is basically a rip off of Gran Turismo, pretty much everything is straight out of it, from the liscensing to the way that you tune your car, except that Gran Turismo has a much better interface. There are no features that are new different or for that matter better than what Gran Turismo offers. The ONLY thing that Sega Gt has that is better than Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2 is its graphics, and with the Playstation 2 coming out soon and Gran Turismo 2000 there will soon be nothing better about this game compared to the competition. Overall I gave this game 2 stars because the Dreamcast is more powerful than the Playstation has better sound than the Playstaion and supposedly better gameplay, but what I have found is that this game can only compete with on the level of Graphics, Gran Turismo 1&2 are much better games, and more fun to play. With all that is better about the Dreamcast this game does not compare with a game from an inferior system (there is no excuse for that!) If this is the kind of game that you can expect from the Dreamcast this system will soon be joining the Saturn.

I'm telling the truth - there are better racers... (sorry)

I was one of the guys who bought this game the first day - I was that excited. There are 3 things wrong with it, and they are wrong enough that there are better games to buy. First, it takes forever to build up to a good car. Truthfully, unless you want to spend hundreds of hours, be content with the little boxes. But mainly, the controls are too touchy. The cars have serious difficulty being controlled, and the only people who will argue with me, are children and people without a life - so they don't mind a game that is sort of like a relationship. This game abuses you from time to time. 3rdly, the interface is so tedious, that you go from menu to menu. Again, the only people that will love this are those who feel satisfaction for figuring out how to run it. Forget it - get "Test Drive LeMans" = it's much better, or "Test Drive V-Rally" or "Sega Rally 2". In my opinion - they all offer a better gaming time.

The Real Truth About Sega GT

Sega GT is an amazing game, I'll give you that, but what do you consider to be amazing? The truth is is that Sega GT has nice graphics, nothing superb, but nice. The truth is is that this racing game is like none before it. I am a fan of the Ridge Racer series, and I'll tell you upstraight, this is not in any way like Ridge Racer. Sega GT is about two major components, how good of a driver you are, and how good is your car. The trick is to win a many races as possible to improve your car to its fullest and best potential. This is not an easy thing to do. Uniquely, this is the first racing game that I've seen where you can 1. make your own car 2. sell your car 3. own more than one car. Once you play Sega GT after about an hour you will understand that the driving skills you need to finish races are much more complex than that of Ridge Racer. This game is a true racer. It can get frustrating at times, but remember, if you really are a true gamer, graphics are not everything. The graphics a very good, but they are not the best I've seen (if you know what I mean, actually I'm being quite picky because the graphics are superb compared to many video games). The graphics are its only flaw. Otherwise, this is a definite must have because it is probably the best racer you've seen yet.

Gran Torismo for dreamcast?

Clones are usually pretty bad... but this one is better than the original. The graphics are great and the enviroments are wonderful. There are about 22 tracks, about 100 cars, and a car editor (carozzeria). The car editor allows you to pick the engine, its induction (NA tune, turbo, and super), engine location (front, mid, rear), which wheels drive the car, body style, and paint scheme. The lincence tests are only resticted to one lap around the track in the prescribed time.

Copied features

tach/speedometer, simliar replay functions, licence tests

Pros

Car editor, Aprox. 22 wonderful tracks, Realistic acceration

Cons

When braking, car steering is stopped

If you liked Gran Torismo, you love this game
