The selection of cars is impressive but not amazing. i was dissapointed by the lack of any bmw's. also most of the cars are biased towards japenese makers. About the customization system, its in depth enough for me. you can adjust turbo boost pressure, camber, gear ratios, suspension, brakes, tires and you can buy a few upgrades: exhaust system, intercooler, port polishing, weight rediction, tuned rom, turbochargers, tires, brakes, suspension and a few other things. this should be enough for all but the most anal players. The other modes are ok but not quite as good as the sega gt mode. you have your standard quick battle and time attack and you also have chronichle mode in which you race cars form one era (70's, 80's etc).
all in all sega gt 2002 is a good all around racing game for xbox. project gotham was way too hard towards the and and had too few cars. rallisport was an excellent game but it was rally only (thats not a complaint, i love rally). burnout is an insane arcade racer thats not 2 great at anything and wreckless is another great but its a mission based arcade game.i give sega gt 2002 a 4.3 out of 5 stars.

What can you say about this game? The first few hours I played this game I didn't really love it. The cars in quick battle tend to understeer and the racetracks are not as beautiful as seen in Grantourismo 3 on PS2 (Seattle Circuit...). But when you're playing Sega GT2002 mode...this game is highly addictive. The first car you can buy is a Fiat, go to your first races start tuning and saving for new cars. Here the pros and cons:+nice looking cars
+fine sound
+motivating career mode
+nice enemy AI
+pay for your mistakes
+good (tuned) car handling
+2d animated spectators
+blurring air at higher speeds
+tune your car and let your opponents breathe dust
-I'd like more tuning options
-I've seen better trees and landscapes
-I'd like more tracks
-drag races vs cpu in split screen only
-stupid replay studio
-no rain, fog...
-only one type of sport tires
-no calibration for analog controller/racing wheels
That's a lot of "-", but this one is well worth your purchase and comes with my unqualified recommendation.
Best Deals for Sega GT 2002 - Xbox
... i took some time, and gave Sega GT 2002 another try, and all right guess what? I LIKE IT!!!!!I like it a lot!!! it has good controls, and very nice crisp graphics. That along with the addition of a custom soundtrack that the player provides. hey whats not to like?? The license tests ala Gran Turismo are very challenging, but so far have not hindered my enjoyment of the game. I have to say that this is a good game, and well worth the purchase price. XBOX hits a home run with this one!!!!! i am a true XBOX convert.
Honest reviews on Sega GT 2002 - Xbox
The first thing u think when u pop in and play SEGA GT 2002 for the Microsoft XBOX is A) How awsome the cars look and B) How hard it is.This game doesn't have thousands of cars, or the most customizable ones. It doesn't have the greatest graphics, or the the most addicting gameplay.
What it does have is whatever u want. It's a good game, with a ton of options, and will keep you playing for many days to come.
1) The Gameplay: You start out with $13,000 dollars to buy a car. Unfortunantly, not many cars are at that price, so you'll have to start very small and build your way up. There are about 30 car companies in this game, each with 3 or 4 cars to buy. To name a few: Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Subaru, Ford, etc... Now, once u find a car that u can afford, u can buy it (first pick a color. Some cars have dozens, some only have 2 or 3 choosable colors), then you can upgrade it. Buy it a better engine, or make it less heavy. Unfortunantly, the upgrades will have to be minimal at first with the limited cash u have. So once you've selected a car, color, and upgrades, your ready to pick your race!
There are dozens and dozens of races to choose from. Each has a prize cash award (the first ones usually only 3 or 4 K). During the race, you have to watch your damage meter, because at the end, you have to pay for ithe damage u rack up. Now, once you make a few dollars and can buy a decent car, you'll realize how deep this game goes. A) You can buy 4 or 5 of the same car in different colors. Every thought of owning every color of the rainbow in Vipers in your garage? B) The never ending upgrades. Make your car cool itself better, or make it weigh less. The possibilties are endless. And with over 125 cars to buy and upgrade (and if u want, get in different colors) this game will take ages...and will be super fun in the process.
That's just the SEGA GT mode. There's also multiplayer (race against a friend or brother, NOT ONLINE), Chronicle Mode (race cars from either the 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's and unlock NEW cars), and other modes. Each is a blast and should take a lot of time to beat.
The cars control very realisticly as well. You can't just make a sharp 360 degree turn! You often spin out, hit walls, and the whole thing is a major challenge...like really driving! This isn't some arcade racer at the mall, this is a real racing SIM. Are u ready?
2) Options: Dozens. Multiplayer, GT Mode (built a HUGE garage), buying every color of every car. Etc...this game could last u forever. But that's not all! You can also listen to some of your OWN toons while racing! Record some of your favoite music on to the MASSIVE XBOX hard disk and listen to it during gameplay! So much fun, and no offense to SEGA, the in game music isn't exactly great. A very good feature!
3) The graphics: Breathtaking! The cars shine, the backgrounds are HUGE, cameras flash from the stands. You really feel like your racing, and it brings the game (like many others now a' days) to life! Little things like 2D crowds are a bit dissapoining, but when your going 200 MPH in a Dodge Viper, your probably not going to notice. This game is massive, fun, and the graphics don't bring it down!
Overall, this is the best racing SIM out there for the XBOX. It's no Gran Turismo, but its a very good game, and should meat many people's needs. Though a few more cars would have been nice (GT3 seems to have thousands), this game has so many, it didn't really matter. Dozens of cars, companies to choose from, and colors to buy in. Customizable musicle soundtracks, and awsome mutlipler fun. SEGA GT 2002 is a great game, and a must buy for those who didn't get it with the bundle *like me*
