YEah I like this better than all the Outruns, Wipeouts, and Gran Turismos I’ve tried : )
It’s pretty hard = ooo but racing the AI is actually pretty fun and you get into weird boost battles thanks to the funky shift/drift mechanics
Also the music roolz
and the lighting is gdlk
Oh uh and at one point I think I say something like you can't really see behind you, which is impressive considering that the rear view mirror was RIGHT THERE and I'm pretty sure I'd already used it a few times at least. : P |

Of the four "Final GP" races, three had pretty cool tracks, and two turned out to be pretty easy--including the final track, where even in my (maybe? in the first half of Gran Prix, I seemed to qualify for only the weakest upgrades) sub-optimal car, which could now not drift easily (braking while turning would no longer kick into a drift, only letting off gas and then hitting gas again would, which was super-awkward), all I had to do to win, it turned out, was hold down the pedal, shift up to top gear, and steer lazily around the course. Kind of a let-down for the final race!!
And while that unlocks "Garage" mode, where you can change car colors and apply 1 (?) decal, or something, and you also now have all eight tracks available in Time Attack mode, Grand Prix mode is exactly the same if you replay it, and I have no urge to replay with different cars.
So for me, a fun but kind of short game--I guess it may be best to think of it as a longish arcade game. : D Those first seven races are pretty fun!
It's looking as though Crazy Taxi (see entry 1455) might be my actual Gran Turismo, though. = o |
