One of the best driving games out on the PS2
Some races require you to have a specific license. You earn these licenses by completing tests in the game, which adds to the challenge. There are a variety of races, from one-make races to endurance races, which can last for hours. As it’s a driving simulation game, you can buy parts and tune your vehicle to improve the performance, this is good because it can give you a huge advantage in winning races. The new mode in the game is the “B-Spec Director” mode is where you have an AI driver controlling your car and you can tell the computer to change paces and to over take the other racers in a race. You can also change the speed of the race up to three times faster. Which can be helpful if you wish to finish off the extremely long races quicker, but it takes the fun out of completing the game. Disappointment in the game is the dumb AI and some cars in the game weren’t allowed to race. Polyphony also promised online play and damage to the vehicles, but never made it in this game. Without crash damage, the game encourages dull driving. There are a lot of extras that were worth trying out, such as photo shoot and driving missions. As for completing the game, it may take you months to complete and with over 700 cars to choose from and 50 courses to drive, it a huge game, which makes this one of the best driving games to play.
