Sega GT 2002

"GT3, Eat Your Heart Out."

This was diffiently not what I thought it would be. I got it in the Special X-Box Bundle with 3 games, and I thought I would play this the 2nd least. Actually, I'll be playing it the most, its really neat actually! This game is way better than Gran Turismo 3 would ever be.

Story - N/A
Well first off, its racing, AKA: no story. Sorry guys, well not really. Who needs a story, oh wait, there is one. its called: Win races and get the gold. Wow...what a story, seriously though, there isn't one, so don't ask.

Graphics - 10/10
HELLO! These graphics are really, really good. Awesome while I'm at it. This is one of the most realistic racing games I've ever played. Remember...I said that I've ever played, meaning if I'm way off, I really wouldn't know. The cars get dents as they hit things, and it just looks so real.

Sound/Music - 10/10
Basic sounds in a racing game. Engine roaring, cars bumping cause of a bad driver, *I hear that sound a lot -_-* and screeching, with a pretty good Sountrack. Pretty ok, except for the fact, you can pop in a music CD, burn it to the X-Box harddrive, and use it in your racing! This increases the Sound/Music score by 3 points, putting it a Perfect 10!

Control/Gameplay - 9/10
It just all out depends on the car. If you use a car that's old and crappy, it's very hard to control, naturally. Use a car that's new and costy, the game will be real easy. It all depends on your ride.

Difficulty - 10/10
Just as I said above, it's all up to the ride you buy at the start, and what you buy later in the game.

Buy or Rent? - ...you get it with your X-Box...
No really, you do. If it was for a limited time, I would have no idea. For a while you could buy an X-Box and get this and Jet Set Radio, so technacly this is free with the X-Box.

Overall - 9/10
I know I rated everything but 2 sections a 9 and it only gets a 9, but that's how I score, if there's even 1 nine, it's a nine. Don't argue. The game is kick ass, no one can hide it. Now, if this temps you, get your ass up and get a X-Box NOW! If it doesn't, then let Jet Set Radio tempt you. If not that either, then, so what? Like I care.
