I can drive the cars, I won most of the races before putnig it down, I didn't play it for long, but the handling of the cars was crap, the graphics were good and different but the game was poor for many reasons all mentioned above.

Yes , the cars did 0-100km/h in 3sec.And that was the only one problem that I didn't liked at all in the game.

You mean you liked the cars handling, you liked the short lifespan, you liked the fact that you stated with some of the fastest cars in the game, and you started with loads of tune options making the stock cars redundant from the off. The whole game stank imo, then again if you liked it thats cool, each to his own.

Yecch my brother bought this game and I tried it. Once you've played GT3 (or any GT for that matter) this game just sucks in comparison. I hate how *** it sounds when that voice shouts "Auto Modellista!" when you load the game. I played it for 1 minute and went back to GT3

i dont know if anybody else thinks so, but the "slipperyness" of the courses suprised me. my friend actually played the game for the first time and made a comment-"why'd you put on the ice level?". i dont know about you guys, but that game-out of all the games ive played- was pretty damn slippery

I'd like to bump this. I'm back and I'm ready to play this game online. Anyone want to get on? This is a great game.

I love this game, I guess I'm one of the few who actually enjoy this game, I went online a couple of times a few weeks ago but there was never anyone online.

That happened to me too, Keep trying and it will eventually pop up, or just try later on.

Yep, it's basically almost impossible to drift in the PAL version because of the awkward physics, not that there is anything wrong with it.
I personally liked the game, if it was longer and had more tracks it would have been alot better.

Thread revival for the win...
I recently got this game, as I currently only have my PS2 so I've been looking at cheap racing games. I was intrigued by the game when it was originally released, but never got it because back then I couldn't just buy every £40 game that came about! £3 is much more reasonable...
Anyway, my initial impressions of the game were mixed. I'd heard the handling wasn't up to much, and that was confirmed by my first few drives. However, accepting that it's very definitely an arcade game, it's not too bad. The slower cars are unchallenging. Whole courses can be taken flat out - there's no challenge, like trying to extract every ounce of performance from a Kei car in Gran Turismo. Quicker cars though require very quick reactions, just like any good arcade game should - not so much emphasis on racing line or even braking, just quick reactions, great sense of speed and great graphics.
And I love the graphics. A PS3 version of this game would be epic. As it is, it's probably my favourite looking PS2 game. Sure, not realistic like GT, but the courses look beautiful (especially the city ones, and the rainy course) and the cars look brilliant too. Nice selection of cars too, and of course the tuning options are very good - you can really make them pretty individual. Here are a few of mine - apologies for poor quality, I still use a 14" CRT TV...
My MR2 Turbo - looking great in white with a Veilside kit and green accents:
The first car I bought in the career mode, a Daihatsu Copen. Named "Polly" by my girlfriend
:
The second car I bought, an old Levin going by the name of Felicity. Love the look of this thing, the wide arches and old-school alloys look awesome:
