And even with that super-tight 90-degree section, I would have liked a straightaway so that the little Bus Stop chicane doesn't get to be a pain in the butt. Even a GT veteran like myself screwed up there at times. So while it's there in GT1, you need to be more careful while you're flying through there. In GT1, there wasn't too much in the way of variety. Sure, there were 11 car companies, but nothing like a lot of Kei cars, Le Mans-winning sportscars, and such, so you couldn't race varying types of vehicles around GT1's tracks. About the slickest-looking machine was the Castrol Supra GT. When I first heard its engine at idle (not to be funny) I thought it was farting or something. Its performance is no joke though my weapon of choice was the Mitsubishi 3000GT/GTO.
Had GT2's cars and such raced GT1's tracks, you'd have a lot of cars, but not a lot of tracks to have fun on. Put GT1 cars and physics in GT2, no offense, but the drifting and insane horsepower would be more fun than in the actual GT2. I would have liked more night racing in GT2, but the only true night courses are the Easter Egg Rome-Night and Special Stage Route 5. That's right, my friends. No SSR11 in GT2.
So if you have a chance, pick up the GT games you don't have yet. And don't worry about price. Why so? Three GT games, and all three are "Greatest Hits," with GT4 to eventually follow suit. So hit up a Wal-Mart or something and get the GTs you don't have. If you have a PS2 but don't have GT3, get that because to me, GT3 is basically a Prologue to GT4, since the game was rushed around the time it was out. Go get them!
