Just recieved it today from play asia and have been playing it for around half an hour and first impressions are pretty good. Lets get the graphics out of the way first, is it arcade perfect? Well looking at the arcade pics i would say yes and has been improved upon in some areas. First of it runs at 60fps and they also added new lighting effects and refelections which can look a little naff in places. Draw distance hasn`t been improved upon from the arcade which is a shame really. Is it as good as i remembered? well no, it shows how far racing games have come on, but never the less it`s still pretty good for a quick session here and there. They have added 3 new courses now which are island, mountain and beltway and aren`t bad tracks either. Also theres the edition of 4 new cars as well which you have to unlock by doing grandprix mode. There is support for force feedback but haven`t got round to trying it out yet. All menus are in english and works fine with the ps2 flip top. One annoying thing i found though is that the screeching of tyres fx is to loud and you can pretty much here it through the whole lap and can get very annoying. Overall though it the best conversion your gonna get of this title and is well worth the ?15 price tag.
update: Just tried it with the gt force feedback and the handling feels alot better than the pad which can be twitchy and unsatisfying. The force feedback works pretty well and the car handles alot better.
