Sega GT 2002
Overall: A great racing game for all racing fans out there. Hundreds of different cars, amazing graphics and great sound. SegaGT 2003 could have been longer though...a lot longer. In terms of GT3, there are hardly any races and not many tracks. It's possible to complete this game in about 15 hours. Still, don't let that get you down because SegaGT 2003 is a great game with a few minior flaws.Gameplay: Simple enough that anybody could pickup this game and play it. Many different races to participate in however the SegaGT Championship mode is a bit short. License tests are pretty challenging but not impossible.
Graphics: The car models are absolutely beautiful. Tracks are well detailed however a minor annoyance is on some tracks the sun sets are blinding which is actually pretty realistic but it's annoying in real life too! When racing on some tracks you can see the heat rising from the asphalt although sometimes it seems a bit exhadurated.
What bothered me is the weather is always the same, the tracks you race on are always at the same time during the day. I would have loved to of seen different weather on different tracks and racing at different times of the day. Why didn't Sega include this? One track does feature racing at night and in the snow but as far as I can tell it's the only track like this. However you can take your car to the test track and it will be night time so you get a chance to see how realistically your headlights reflect off of other objects such as the road, street cones and the walls.
Audio: The sound is pretty average. Engines sound realistic, surround sound works great however some of the sound effects such as your tires skidding on the track are very generic.
I personally didn't like the music included in the game however there is an option to load custom soundtracks which I made a lot of use of. One thing I did notice though is when you load a custom soundtrack and save your game and restart the system, it goes back to the default SegaGT soundtrack. Not a real problem since you can change music in the options menu or in the middle of a race by pausing the game and pressing Y. Sega could have done a better job in the sound department.
Suggestions: Weather effects, different times of the day to race, better sound effects and more races. The championship mode only has about 20 or so races and then after that and completing the few event races, there really isn't much left to do.
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
