There is a slew of real cars here for players to tear around the track in, including Daihatsu, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. All together there are 48 cars to choose from. Players also get to upgrade their cars through exhaust, engine, and whatnot, but instead of having to buy them like in other titles, they are unlocked when races are won here. As far as game modes are concerned, it s the championship mode that is the focus of the game.
Players have to place well in the races, competing against seven other computer-controlled cars.
All together there are 32 tracks to go zipping around in. Also, the game supports four-player simultaneous play through the link cable. Unfortunately, the game can t be played this way through only one cartridge. Looking at GT Advance, it s almost like peering at a miniature version of Gran Turismo. Maximum Velocity will have a run for its money when the GameBoy Advance launches this summer.
