Its a good racing Sim but gets boring! |
| Steve Camilleri from Melbourne, Australia says (17/Sep/2003): |
Sega if your gonna make a racing game do iot properly. Sega GT is a really good game and has potential but They have left out some really valuable stuff. One being Exterior modifications most people do up there cars for looks cause they dun noe a thing bout engines, I gotta admit the engine upgrades in Sega Gt 2002 is pretty good i like how u can make a muscle car Turbo! for some serious grunt. Another good thing is the fact that you can take some seriously cool looking photos and hang them up in your garage would have been better if you could tkae more than 20 but. Another Con about GT would be that you cant see Exterior damadge i mean seriously wen u plow inmto a barrier at 120 mph u would think that you would get a lil scratch. If things like this were included i think XBOX would be in for a best seller.
and another thing MORE CARS!!!!!!

Thoughts of the Real Speed Racer... |
| Jerrhyme from Atlanta, GA - USA says (4/Sep/2003): |
I have read many of the posts here and well, let me say that I agree with nearly 90% (back to that in a minute).
I am a RACER - I DARE ANYONE TO DOUBT... you'll be handing your cars over to my collection. I don't play sports, maybe a little strategy, and maybe even a shoot'em-up, but I RACE (just want to assure you that I am no novice).
The game is a GREAT attempt at matching GT2/3 popularity. It has definitely more detail, the garage is a very nice touch, and the control is excellent - once you spend some dough. I have been playing the game for a couple of months and have beaten the tar out of it VERY quickly (like in less than 2 days with around 2-3 hours each time). And I have beaten it bunches of times. This is the first of my personal gripes. It was sooo easy to get up fast, but seriously, if you were any good at GT2/3 it should be easy to become used to game play. I have hundreds of thousands in cash, and more than enough cars. The thing I like is winning cars, and when you run certain races with your won cars, you can win certain other cars that are not even on the menus to SEE or purchase. This might show that the game can become somewhat boring, you never know when you will win a car if at all (I have a theory working here and will pass it on later). This brings me to my second gripe... if you sell one of the cars you have won, it seems impossible to win it again if you want it back. The last thing I kinda’ wish was different, is that once you reach the second stage you cannot go back. If I want to start with a weak ride, betta' have some greenbacks to hook it up or you don't stand a chance at winning.
So what's to like...?
Again, the graphics and sounds are too incredible. The shaking around open curves when you are floorin' it is a nice detail in the realism department. I like to take the angle photo with camera #3. I have the technique down perfectly and have limited the shots to the best cars with the best backgrounds - you can only take so many pictures anyway. Chronicle and Time Attack are nice if you are into classics and beating your own records. And, a perfect race is well rewarded with an extra 50% of the purse. Still, while starting out with hardly any money ($13,000), you can buy that Fiat Hatchback, win the Hot Hatchback race and you are sure to win the Renault Clio... most of the time. This leads to the last point, you can always race the Events to get cash and once you race enough to win without bang-ups, the rewards are substantial.
I agree with nearly everyone - the game is great but maybe lacking in a few areas. Then again, GT2/3 aren't PERFECT and SEGA has some clear advantages/differences. It really depends on your experience with racing sims, and how much you want to play. I could write dozens of other complaints or compliments. Just know that SEGA GT 2002 IS NOT SONY GT2/3 and vice versa. I would not have even picked up this game if I paid attention to "...doesn't compare to...". SEGA deserves more than that by far. Get it, drive it, and decide for yourself.

Better Than Life........................................ |
| Muiraldo from Birkenhead England says (28/Aug/2003): |
My daughter bought an X-box and she hates racing games. It's a while since I've played any but I do like them. So I can't compare GT 2002 with anything else, but why worry? I loved it.
Agree that there should be an option to switch off the replays. You can try a car out in a race, realise that you can't keep up, cancel the race after 10 seconds and still get offered a replay!!
The only time a replay would be really useful is when you're taking the licence tests. But you don't get one then!
But that's a minor worry.
But all I really wanted to say was this: The SS licence can be done in AT. I struggled long and hard with it and wondered if MT was the only way to do it. So if you're wondering, yes it can be done in AT.

THE BEST GAME!!! |
| Mike from Melbourne, Australia says (26/Aug/2003): |
I- like others- got an Xbox for Christmas. And like some, got Halo and Sega GT with it. I didn't like Halo very much at that point, so i started to play Sega GT. After a few weeks of playing, I had already got a Corvette Z06 with 760hp. It was pretty fun to drag in! But it cost a fortune to fix after a couple of races. So, in Official Race, when i got some cars for free, i sold them for over 50,000 because you can not buy them in the car shop. EASY MONEY!!!

Great Racing Sim |
| Icer2387 from Texas, USA says (15/Aug/2003): |
This game is a great racing sim due to the fact that they included classic cars as well as modern. Also the car upgrades are great, especially when you unlock the stage 3 turbo. If only they had made some exterior upgrades like body kits or custom paint. My top three cars:
1. 779hp Corvette zo6 8.3 sec quarter mile
2. 809hp Dodge Charger R/t 8.9 sec quarter
3. 300+hp Lotus Exige 8.1 sec quarter ---best handling car in the game by far
I am on day 237 and i still have fun playin the game.

great game |
| Nikk from utah, usa says (13/Aug/2003): |
this game is the BEST racing game i have ever played bar none.i admit the ss license wasw a challenge but i got it in 3 tries.there could have been more cars and upgrades but then there would be no room for a second games so i think they did a perfect job on this game and thats whay i gave it a ten out of ten. the only thing that hurt the game was the fact that at the end after you have unlocked every upgrade you can, the other cars can still go faster thatn yours. but no matter, its all about the skills. need a game? this is the one!

The SS License test..... |
| Gman19 from Greensboro, NC, USA says (10/Aug/2003): |
Overall the Sega GT 2002 is the most played disc in my library.
One reason for this is the insane SS license test. The many, possibly one hundred plus times, I have ran it, I have came within one second or less four times. I am convinced it is possible to beat, but it is maddeningly difficult! It does make it hard to put the controller down though. Some more exotic cars would be nice, some Lambos, Ferraris and maybe a MacLaren or something of the like. I still am trying to figure out Chronicle mode....that's why I don't play it much (no save??).
Overall the game rules, money well spent!!

SGT 02 and GT3 r both good |
| Pied Piper from Washington, USA says (30/Jul/2003): |
SGT 02 has all the tracks, turning, and graphix, but GT3 has all the cars, and upgrades. it would be wicked if they like combined the games or something. Good Game, Good controls, great sound, and i got the bundle so the cd also has JSRF(Jet Set Radio Future) on it. One Word describes it, "Sweet!"

Can you find a better racing game then Sega GT 2002 |
| AssKicker from Corpus Christi says (30/Jul/2003): |
This game is amasing and anyone who says different is a complete idiot. fast cars and being able to play music off your Xbox on to the game is way too cool. I drive my yellow Z06 Corvette while listening to 50 cent's music, "In the Club" and "21 questions," and all of a sudden im in my zone. i dont lose and i win big freakin money.

#1 racing game ever!!! |
| Francisco from Albuquerque U.S.A, says (26/Jul/2003): |
This game is awsome. However there is a couple things i would like to see if they were to add to this game. The first would be new tracks such as Laguna Seca, Daytona, Coute de Azure, and so on. I think that they should have also added more options for the engine upgrades, such as: bore and stroke increases, computer chips (were applicable), and more fine tuning of the suspension and the brake balance. The last thing I think they could have added were more options on the American and European car choose, such as the Ford Focus and eEscort, Chevy Cavalier, Porsche 911 and Gt1, Ferrari...any of them, Lamborghini Diablo Countasch and the Vt, McLaren F1, Toyota Gt1, Hemi Cuda, Saleen S7, and some trucks for more of an option in the car selection. The last thing they should have also added was more lifelike damage, such as when you rearend somebody that your downforce and stearing became affected. Howerver this game is still the greatest game to ever come out.

sweet game |
| ed krazy from san diego, usa says (25/Jul/2003): |
this game is the best evr. i am a racing game lover and it was hard to find a game that was challenging yet adventursome. i love that u can buy parts to the car but it wuld b better if u wuld be able 2 ad details to the outside like a spoiler and a body kit. this game smokes project gotham. that game is the type u just want 2 throw out of the window cause u can only get the cars but not beef them up. the graphics in sgt rocks. i mean i just got a big screen and it feels like i am in the game. the only thing i dislike is cuz i cant get thet freaken viper. anybody who has an xbox and is looking 4 a car game, this is it. if anybody knows how 2 get the viper,email me. i just cant wait 4 the new one 2 come out. i presonally think that the 2002 lotus esprit is the best car that is easily available. customized, i got it 2 go a quarter of a mile in 10. 292 sec. it has 562 hp.
i cant tell u enouph about how much i love this game. i have been in almost 300 races. i g2g. talk 2 u later.

| Bob from Everyone, Nosebob says (16/Jul/2003): |
This game is awesome; however, there are a few changes I would make. Don't let the rest of this review throw you off: I love the game. That's why I'm being so hard on it. I want more, and I want better.
More cars! I was disappointed in the fact that there wasn't a single Porshe. I'm not talking about adding another 10 different versions of an existing car either. Come on guys! pick up a Motor Trend or Road & Track already.
More tracks! They've got a good idea going using parts of existing tracks and adding a few new turns, but to really make a legendary game they need to add some new tracks.
Also, more cheats would be cool too. Everybody likes hidden cars, cheats, etc. to discover and fiddle with.

Its tight but..... |
| David from Suwanee, USA says (13/Jul/2003): |
This game is by far the best XBOX racer out there. This game has almost unlimited replay value. It's a great racer but can't come close to Gran Turismo 3. Granted SGT has better graphix and custom soundtracks it just does't have the number of options in the way of customizing that I would prefer like GT3. Its still a great game don't get me wrong but I would like more to do on my cars than just basic hp gaining bolt-ons, hopefully in the next one there will be wheels, brand name parts, and longer levels.

Drifting? |
| Jonathan from Burbank,CA says (12/Jul/2003): |
I thought this game sucked at first but then I started playing it longer than 5 minutes. Drifting is a must in this game. Its what GT3 lacks. In GT3 you can barely turn but in Sega GT you can do some crazy drifts going at 60-70 mph with a RX-7. It has less options but who the hell cares. I go this game in the X-Box bundle so I just gained in the end.
|
GT3 IS GAY |
| SEAN from ontario,canada says (7/Jul/2003): |
this game is the best game ever if u think that grand turismo is better ur crazy.great graphics sounds and gameplay the SS lisence is way too hard but overall i give it a 10.wtf is with honda integra though acura only has 1 god damn car. THE honda integra R rox

Wicked Awsome, Dude! |
| Zack Favorito from Freehoold, NJ says (4/Jul/2003): |
I got Sega GT 2002 as my first game but I didn't think it was interesting. I have 8 other games that were easy to beat and after that I got bored. So I turned on Sega GT 2002 and in a matter of days I was hooked. Thanks to the long gameplay I'm not bored anymore. I recomend this game to any XBOX users is it is my favorite. But although it has a long gameply, there is a downside. as you progress through the official races, the game gets tougher. Now some people may like games getting togher, but it was tough in the first place. they could also put some cheats in this game. But like I said, wicked awsome. The sounds are realistic, the cars are real, and there are so many cars to choose from. for me, this game will never get old.

best game in the gaming world |
| Ryan Anderson from bakersfield,ca,usa says (3/Jul/2003): |
sega gt 2002 is awesome.It is the best racing game in the world.the graphics are great it blows gt3 and probably the upcoming gt4 out of the water.the sound is okay but i dont care cause i love that game so much.i like the two player alot cause u can drag against your bro or sister and if you dont like drag mode you can race on tracks,so far its a pretty long game ive got 4 cars so far but i love my vette.i had so much fun it was better than midnight club 2,it is one of the first xbox games and also by far the best,now u can buy the game for 15$ but i think it should be alot more like 50$ cause that is what its worth,but other than that its a real good deal.the only downfall is that it came out to early for there to be xbox live capability luckily there will soon be a sega gt online.my friend he has the game he said that it was the worst game in the world i disagree he said the only reason why was because it was to hard and he couldnt turn worth jack so i got the game he was wrong the game was easy to handle any ways i love this game i swear it is the best it is a must buy.
