In my twenty years of playing V-Games I have never used a game shark. Can't say that I ever will.......unless it gives you something really, really, really cool, like Laura Croft nood or something, I would use a game shark for that!!
I usually use one on a game after I finish it or get tired of playing it. Or sometimes I keep 2 saves of a game, one that has been sharked and one that has not, and play them both at once. But I have never used a gameshark just to beat a game, that's just pathetic, unless the game is impossibly hard to beat.
Gamesharks can be very useful, especially in GT2, a gameshark can make it into a whole new game, simply because of all the hidden cars, tracks and all that other stuff that was left unfinished because of the way it was rushed into the stores, it's great.
I use the gameshark all the time now, Because I beat GT2 about 4 times now. i use the gameshark to build hybrid cars which is fun. (thanks skynyrd for the hybrids.)
I guess those people just look at the things like putting any car in any race, like using a code to let you race the Escudo in the Trial Mountain Endurance race or something. They simply don't know about all the good, non-cheating things you can do with a gameshark.
Someone who doesn't like gamesharks, please enlighten us as to why you think it is cheating when you use them to get things you can't normally get? Why is it that you consider it cheating to find out ways to do things you normally can't do in a game? And please, no ignorant posts such as this: "da gamshrk is chetein, i hate those things!!!!!!!!!!"

Hi vat_man there are some good things you can do with a gameshark. There are cars you can't but you can use a gameshark to get them. You can build hybrid cars which is cool. Try it before you knock it.

I misunderstood what you were saying. I don't think a gameshark should be used to complete a game either. It is a lot of fun after a person completes a game. I have beat the game 7ral times now I build hybrid cars and mess around with them.
I once hade a hybrid That went so fast it went straight up in the air and then slamed in reverse, that was quite a sight. I think the top speed in GT2 is suppose to be 450 MPH. (sorry I don't know what the KPH would be.)
Selling the game after you beat it and saying you know everything about it is cheating. I say keep the game and get every last bit of entertainment out of it that you can. I guess it's just easier to just say "it's cheating" than it is to give an answer based on real knowledge of the topic in question. Kind of like essay questions vs. true or false. For the record Laura Crofts nood is at least twice as expensive as the CLK Race Car. Still, If I could only choose one test drive.....
Fair comment on playing the games 'out' - I only sell games if I don't like them, and even then I'll have usually finished them or got most of the way through them.
I keep the ones I like - I've still got GT and GT2, and still play them from time to time.
Hell, I even play the old Namco arcade museum games - Bosconian, what a game!
