    It may be a "Gran Turismo" clone, but it's still as stunning and immersive a driving experience as you're ever going to find on the Dreamcast
  2. Dreamcast HQ
    90
    One of the better driving/sims on the market, and could even give the heralded "GT2000" a run for it's money.

    So even though the controls are shoddy and the physics aren't realistic, those things don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
  4. Dreamcast.net

    It's an incredibly deep, engaging game that will make arcade-lovers and simmers alike join hands and sing.
  5. "Sega GT is hot sh*t." Get this game, play this game. Live this game. Fuzzbuster not included.
  6. 92
    Abundant with options, cars, and a ton of racing modes, GT is easily the most realistic game of its type on the Dreamcast.
  7. Total Video Games
    90
    One of the greatest racing games to come out in a long time, stacking up and in some areas surpassing even "Gran Turismo."
  8. Antagonist
    88
    Two areas where Sega's game SLAUGHTERS Sony's ("Gran Turismo 2") -- depth and graphics.
  9. AllDreamcast
    88
    Obtaining the various drivers licenses alone requires near perfect driving skills, and you'll need to be able to drive these courses with your eyes closed if you hope to win the races.
  10. Game Fan

    While Sega GT's daunting learning curve and super-realistic handling may not be everyone's cup of tea, the game managed to grow on me after extended playing.
  11. The graphics and depth are sure to please even the most critical racing fan.
  12. Sega X

    I definitely recommend renting Sega GT if you're not into constructing cars, making money, and just want to race against a Mazda RX-7 or a Dodge Viper.
  13. What sets the game apart from its rival is the obvious better graphics.
  14. Da Gameboyz

    Sega GT is heavy on the racing and tuning options and will make any avid racing fan smile with glee.
  15. Although Sega GT does indeed look awesome -- better than any PlayStation game could possibly look -- it's nowhere near pushing the envelope of the hardware capabilities the way "Gran Turismo" does on the PSX.
  16. Attempts to capture some of "Gran Turismo's" formula for the Dreamcast, but it ultimately falls short due to poor control and an unintuitive interface.
  17. Spank!
    70
    Dig below the surface however and you'll find the kind of depth that'll take weeks or even months to fully explore. A shameless clone of Sony's "Gran Turismo," and a a pretty good one too.
  18. Daily Radar

    Sega GT is a nearly perfect racing simulation that offers hundreds of cars, dozens of options and weeks of deep gameplay.
  19. Sega GT seems to frustrate more than entertain after some time, like GT2 did before it for gamers that played the original.
  20. "Gran Turismo" is still king of the realistic console driving genre, but certain aspects of Sega GT (like the analog control for breaking/accelerating and the 'Carrozzeria' option) surpass it and point brightly toward the genre's future.
  21. It's not a perfect simulation of driving in the same way Sega's own "Ferrari F355 Challenge" is, but it's close -- and with a lot more cars and races to choose from.
  22. 80
    If you want a simple pick-up-and-play racer keep looking. If you know a bit about cars and want a game to spend some serious time on, then look no further than Sega GT.
  23. Addictive. I've had this game in my possession for a little over a week now, and have logged over 30+ hours into it.
  24. The player interface is not as streamlined as it should be, and the graphics are not as good as they could have been.
  25. Definitely not the groundbreaker that Gran Turismo was, it is indeed a solid racing title with plenty of replay value to keep the engine warm. Dreamcast race junkies, this one's for you.

    Beautiful graphics and a handful of good ideas.
    Unfortunately you'll be caught dancing from one side of the track to another too much to care

    Unfortunately you'll be caught dancing from one side of the track to another too much to care about those things.
    Once you get the hang of it, you'll have quite a time to spend before beating all of the cups and challenges. Not a terrible game, but clearly could have been better

    This game is like Gran Turismo but with better graphics, better graphics, and it's Sega. Way better.

    Great graphics, sound and controls!

    Not as great of a selection as Gran Turismo. Better option if you aren't hardcore into GT games but if you are hardcore into GT games I would recommend Gran Turismo over this one.

    Overall a decent driving simulator that will leave you with a smile on your face for a while. When you start to get deeper into the game there's a risk you'll drop off as it's not as complete as Gran Turismo.

    Still an A game despite it's shortcomings.
