This game is pretty good. It is very hard. Unlike many other games where you can go from 6th place to 1st in one minute. It is hard to hold these cars in the road. I was hoping there would be more cars that I had heard of. Many of these must be overseas models. I also would like to have more tracks. This game is worth having and takes a whole lot of time to master.

Sega GT was developed as a clone for the Playstation's Gran Turismo series. As a GT diehard, at first, I thought that this was a no-lose proposition: I'd get better graphics, different tracks, and even if the gameplay didn't hold up quite as well..., I would at least have something different to put in my machine.
After repeated plays of Sega GT, it's obvious that the little things within GT2 were what made that game so wonderful to play. The lack of attention to detail (extraordinary graphics aside) and the inability to understand just what makes a good racing game in the first place are what will keep me away from Sega GT.
First things first, the GT series focuses on near-simulation control for the cars. The variety of vehicles and the complexity of the tracks make it an extremely deep game (if you want to go there). BUT, though difficult, the game is FAIR, and thus playable. The mantra repeated to people who initially have trouble getting comfortable with GT is, "The cars control like real cars, you'll get used to it eventually."
My love afair with Sega GT ended the first time I needed to brake into a corner: the car would not under any circumstances turn while braking. The cars apparently act this way because someone on the development staff thought real cars behaved in this manner. However, as the computer competition shows (they CAN brake and turn at the same time), this is not the case. This alone makes Sega GT unplayable, or even worse, teaches you such poor driving habits that you will have a difficult time readjusting to the controls of every other racing game you own from Ferrari F355 Challenge to Mario Kart.
Going on isn't necessary, but I will. The menu system is difficult to navigate: the goals are not clearly defined, race entry guidelines are not listed, and even the cursors tend to be unintuitive to control. The tracks are extremely simple by GT standards (lots of ovals, or slight variations of them) and don't offer nearly the variety of types of driving available in GT2. For example, GT2 has power courses with high top speeds and sharp turns, tight technical courses, and very bumpy courses with a variety of high speed corners that are murder on mid-engine cars. This selection works well for the wide variety of cars available in GT2. Of course, Sega GT has about a fifth of the cars that can be found in GT2, so this wouldn't be much of an issue anyway, I suppose.
Even the great graphics of the game do get in the way at times. Whereas GT2's tracks were (necessarily) well lit or contained bright yellow markers to signify the curves, some of the courses in Sega GT get lost in the haze. It's difficult to make out some of the corners or where the walls begin and end until you're right on top of them.
In short, the more I play Sega GT the more I appreciate GT2. Now that Bleemcast for GT2 is available, there's no reason to even consider buying this abomination. GT2 aside, there are simply too many good driving games available for the Dreamcast for someone, even a driving game nut, to buy Sega GT.
Alternate excellent driving games for the Dreamcast:
1. Test Drive LeMans
2. Ferrari F355 Challenge3. Metropolis Street Racer
Still better, but not highly recommended:
* Daytona USA 2001
* Sega Rally 2
* Vanishing Point
* F1 World Championship* Test Drive V-Rally

This is one of the best games ive ever played on sega dreamcast. You get to get some nice cars (and some ... ones) and you can ... them out. This means upgrade and ad parts and engine, and even get nicer rims!! There are two cons to this game: 1. you cant make the apearence of the car better besides the rims. 2. you can drive your beast into ne thing and it will stay in showroom condition. I really like the reality of racers where you can damage your car like in Need For Speed for the PC, but other than those two things, this game is exelent.
So buy it!!!!
