Critic Reviews

100 Daily Radar
Sega GT is a nearly perfect racing simulation that offers hundreds of cars, dozens of options and weeks of deep gameplay.
97 Dreamcast.net
It's an incredibly deep, engaging game that will make arcade-lovers and simmers alike join hands and sing.
94 GamerWeb Sega
"Sega GT is hot sh*t." Get this game, play this game. Live this game. Fuzzbuster not included.
92 IGN
Abundant with options, cars, and a ton of racing modes, GT is easily the most realistic game of its type on the Dreamcast.
90 Total Video Games
One of the greatest racing games to come out in a long time, stacking up and in some areas surpassing even "Gran Turismo."
90 CNET Gamecenter
It may be a "Gran Turismo" clone, but it's still as stunning and immersive a driving experience as you're ever going to find on the Dreamcast
90 Dreamcast HQ
One of the better driving/sims on the market, and could even give the heralded "GT2000" a run for it's money.
88 Game Fan
While Sega GT's daunting learning curve and super-realistic handling may not be everyone's cup of tea, the game managed to grow on me after extended playing.
88 AllDreamcast
Obtaining the various drivers licenses alone requires near perfect driving skills, and you'll need to be able to drive these courses with your eyes closed if you hope to win the races.
88 Antagonist
Two areas where Sega's game SLAUGHTERS Sony's ("Gran Turismo 2") -- depth and graphics.
85 Planet Dreamcast
The graphics and depth are sure to please even the most critical racing fan.
84 Sega X
I definitely recommend renting Sega GT if you're not into constructing cars, making money, and just want to race against a Mazda RX-7 or a Dodge Viper.
83 Gaming Age
Addictive. I've had this game in my possession for a little over a week now, and have logged over 30+ hours into it.
83 Sports Gaming Network
What sets the game apart from its rival is the obvious better graphics.
82 Da Gameboyz
Sega GT is heavy on the racing and tuning options and will make any avid racing fan smile with glee.
80 Hot Games
It's not a perfect simulation of driving in the same way Sega's own "Ferrari F355 Challenge" is, but it's close -- and with a lot more cars and races to choose from.
80 CheckOut
So even though the controls are shoddy and the physics aren't realistic, those things don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
80 GamePro
If you want a simple pick-up-and-play racer keep looking. If you know a bit about cars and want a game to spend some serious time on, then look no further than Sega GT.
80 DC Swirl
"Gran Turismo" is still king of the realistic console driving genre, but certain aspects of Sega GT (like the analog control for breaking/accelerating and the 'Carrozzeria' option) surpass it and point brightly toward the genre's future.
75 Core Magazine
The player interface is not as streamlined as it should be, and the graphics are not as good as they could have been.
75 Game Revolution
Definitely not the groundbreaker that Gran Turismo was, it is indeed a solid racing title with plenty of replay value to keep the engine warm. Dreamcast race junkies, this one's for you.
75 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Sega GT seems to frustrate more than entertain after some time, like GT2 did before it for gamers that played the original.
75 Happy Puppy
Although Sega GT does indeed look awesome -- better than any PlayStation game could possibly look -- it's nowhere near pushing the envelope of the hardware capabilities the way "Gran Turismo" does on the PSX.
73 GameSpot
Attempts to capture some of "Gran Turismo's" formula for the Dreamcast, but it ultimately falls short due to poor control and an unintuitive interface.
70 Spank!
Dig below the surface however and you'll find the kind of depth that'll take weeks or even months to fully explore. A shameless clone of Sony's "Gran Turismo," and a a pretty good one too.
