Bizarre Creations' oft-delayed urban runabout has been high on every Dreamcast owner's wish list since it debuted at last year's E3.

Why?
Have you seen the screenshots, mate? Huge chunks of Tokyo, London and San Francisco have been faithfully reproduced for your driving pleasure and that's just the beginning. The physics are said to be the most realistic to date, there are over 30 cars to drive... and it looks magnificent.

You already said that!
Oh, but it does. Check out the screenshots this minute, then come back and discuss. Just click on the link on the right of the screen.

Okay (click).
"Roll aaht the barrel, roll aaht the barrel-la-la... Aaaaah... Knees up Mother Braahn-ah! Knees up Mother Braahn... Oi!"

Well bend me backwards and call me a pixel! It looks fu...
... A picture really does say a thousand words. The art bods actually visited each of the three cities and took over 30,000 photos, as well as hours of video footage. Now that's dedication, although we would do it just for the free holiday. All those cars are closely based on real models too - Toyota, Audi, Mitsubishi, Fiat, Rover, TVR and Ford all supplied Bizarre Creations with loads of technical information.

But Gran Turismo 2 has got about 600 cars.
This isn't Gran Turismo 2 though, is it? And there has to be a compromise somewhere in order to get those photo-realistic courses. No disrespect to the marvellous GT2 but the cars in MSR look a tad more impressive. It will be interesting to see how many cars you get with Gran Turismo 2000 on PlayStation2.
