Grim Turismo

Dear Future Gamer

I have to disagree with your review of Gran Turismo 2 (FG64). Sure, the first game was good, but it just seems to have lost something in the sequel. The only way the graphics have been 'improved' is by making all of the cars eye-hurtingly shiny and the soundtrack has just resorted to name grabbing. The handling is just the same, which isn't that bad, but the addition of the 'rally' races just doesn't make it feel as good as its prequel. I've seen the screenshots of Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast and played World Driver on N64 and they are just far, far better.

FG: Not everyone's going to agree with our reviews and that's their prerogative, but saying Metropolis Street Racer is a better game than GT2 after seeing some screenshots gives us cause to question your judgement.
