Best Sega GT Online - Xbox Deals

Customer Ratings:

As an Xbox Live enthusiast, I've played countless games online. Midtown Madness 3 is my all-time favorite, but I've also finished Project Gotham 2 and played it online. Naturally when I saw this game selling brand new for under 1/2 the cost of other new Xbox games, I snatched it right up.

But this game is plagued by many of the problems that Sega GT 2002 had; poor/confusing menus, mediocre graphics and now a half-hearted attempt at online play.

Pros:

All the things you love about Sega GT 2002: arcade-style racing, career mode, and lots of cars (about 40 additional cars added for GT Online)

The online race modes include two truly unique styles: team battle (a relay race where each player races for 1 lap) and navigate (a blind man's race, where the co-pilot must indicate to the driver upcoming turns and competitor's moves).

You can trade cars, parts and even cash with other players online!

Three new offline challenge games (gathering, time attack and chronicle).

Cons (just focused on the improvements from 2002):

Three words: Lag, lag, lag.

Although the game is supposed to transfer SegaGT 2002 saved data to access customized cars from last year's game, I couldn't get it to work.

Online matches are tough to join, if you try to enter a room that has a race already in progress, it pushes you back out to the main menu.

In online play, when the 1st place car runs across the finish line, the game ends for everyone.

For the price, a die-hard racing fan can't really resist this game. Plus, with 2 months free Xbox Live subscription, (for new users only) this game almost pays for itself! So when it comes right down to it, this game is well worth what you paid for, but you should expect some inconveniences. Finally if you don't already own Sega GT 2002, you should certainly add this game to your collection since it is included in GT Online!

Sega GT has been good since the Dreamcast days, and this version is a steady improvement from GT 2002. The biggest problem with 2002 was the lack of tracks, and there are new ones here, along with the obligatory new cars. Overall, the new cars, tracks, and somewhat improved graphics make this a more well-rounded game. While not the prettiest car sim, it does deliver the Gran Turismo PS2 style experience, and for a decent price since the day of its release.

Until Forza Motorsport hits the shelves, this is the one to buy for career mode racing with a wide selection of cars.

Honest reviews on Sega GT Online - Xbox

After trying the 2002 version I couldn't wait to receive the

newer online version. I was never planning to actually use

it online.

Here's the rub: several people at the house would like to use

it, but the game will only allow one game to be saved on the

HD. I bought an Xbox memory card hoping that it would

solve the problem, but it doesn't. You cannot transfer a game

from the hard drive to the memory card! For us this was very

disappointing, and makes the game all but useless.
