Gran Turismo Concept 2002: Tokyo-Geneva (Playstation 2)

GT Concept includes over 120 state of the art vehicles, many of which were unveiled at this year's Tokyo and Geneva motor shows. Vehicle categories include New Cars, Dream Cars, Concept Cars and Race Cars. GT Concept features five tracks; one new circuit, Tokyo R246 and four re-worked tracks from previous games in the series, including the Tahiti Maze rally circuit from GT3 and old favourite Autumn Ring from GT and GT2. Each is raced forwards as well as backwards, effectively giving you ten tracks in total. There are three main game modes: Course License (a race against the clock with an optional pace car), Free Run (a leisurely spin round the track with no restrictions or time limits) and Single Race (take on a friend or race solo on the track of your choosing).

Critic Reviews

85	Games Radar UK (Pre-2006) It might be just a pit stop on the GT highway but this motor show-off is a nice, if brief, diversion for petrol-heads and amateurs alike. [GamesMaster]
79	TotalGames.net Whereas Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec was packed with detail and options and finely tuned gameplay, Gran Turismo Concept has had it all removed. The racing giant’s teeth have been pulled. Beyond the new concept cars there is no real bite to the game.
70	Yahoo! Games Decidedly easy. The game’s arcade-style has diluted its more complex factors that dragged racing fans screeching to it in the first place. And with the absence of having to learn how to drive and handle each car’s nuances, which was as important as learning the tracks of the courses, there’s an important element lost in the process – longevity.
60	Computer and Video Games It's got a stack of new cars, true, but that's about it - there are no new courses, still no damage and the AI still isn't very clever. On PC, this kind of upgrade would be downloadable for next to nothing. [PlayNation]
