For years PlayStation owners have been pleasantly wrapped up in the goodness that is the Gran Turismo series. Unmatched in racing options, featured cars, and driving physics, Gran Turismo was the title for console gamers looking for a realistic racing fix. A number of different options are available in Sega GT , including a championship mode, single player race, time trial mode, and two-player split screen. While most of the time is actively spent in the Championship mode buying, tuning, and racing cars, the other modes of play are welcome additions. Unique to the Championship mode is the car factory, in which players can create their own cars to compete with in races.
Some races even go as far as to require an original car just to enter the race.
A factory license must be earned to build cars of different engine sizes. In addition to being able to construct cars based off of a 2000cc or 4500cc engine, the ability to construct a car with a rotary-powered engine is also available. You can do that as well as dictate engine placement, drive train, and body style. Car customization is a very large part of Sega GT 's gameplay. Knowing how to setup gear ratios to get the best top end speed or acceleration is essential to dominating in both the course-based races and the dragging events.
