I know what you're thinking, that the game has fewer features than the PS3 version, including no interior view and watered down graphics, but in all fairness, graphics are NOT everything. The gameplay itself is still good, even if some features are excluded such as lack of interior view, fewer opponents (from 15 to only 7, not counting you as the player, which would be 16 cars for the PS3 and 8 cars in races), toned down graphics and no online multiplayer, (online play has long since been shut down since the PS3 and the PS4 were brought in, no splitscreen either). If you want more of these features, get the PS3 version. The reason why these features are omitted are due to hardware limitations to the PS2, which has long since outdated. The game itself is still good and doesn't take itself seriously, and its for nostalgic reasons, not for hardcore seriousness.Read full review

Well it has the F40, that's one good thing I can say about it. Now, going to the game itself. I'm not really a graphics buff, more on gameplay and physics but in this case it's so grainy that like one reviewer here said you can't see the start of the corner. I mean, I don't mind cartoon graphics just as long as you can see clearly. You have your usual game modes, time trial, quick race, career, etc. which is cool for unlocking stuff, cars, tracks etc. The more challenging your options, the more points you earn & being closer to unlocking items. Haven't gone very far in the game yet but my review is more on the feel of the game itself not much on the features. By the way, it also supports 900 degree turns of the Logitech DFP. With all the aids off, it performs like a sim from my experience being a player of GT Legends and GTR. That being said, you gotta be gentle on the throttle and the brake in handling the car or you spin. I don't know why many ppl complain about that when that's the handling of a sim. Lastly, my most dissappointment is the lack of in-car dashboard view. This was the sole reason I bought this game and in the package it shows a dashboard view. False advertising here, being a dashboard fan this really pissed me off. I could have given this 2 more stars had it had the dash.Read full review
I'm a huge Ferrari fan, so I was looking forward to this game coming out. Boy was I dissappointed!! First off, I consider Gran Turismo to be the benchmark for all racing games on the PS2. I have played other games, such as Burnout, Need For Speed, TOCA, Race Driver and several Formula 1 games, some of which have steep learning curbs. But this game has one of the worst learning Curbs I have ever seen! Car control on the Ferrari F430 is terrible, if you don't have all the driver aids on MAX!! You can only use the brakes going straight, or you get severe understeer in the corners. You have to use the throttle to steer while cornering, which causes oversteer, and you spin if you get heavy on the throttle. Which is very frustrating. So why not have the drivers aids FULL ON you ask? Because to unlock other Ferraris you need points earned Racing. You get MORE points if you Win, and you don't use the aids. And the points decrease to ZERO if you have the aids at max. The Car graphics aren't bad, but the Track Graphics Suck!! MONZA is on of my favorite Tracks, I know it like the back of my hand... But It's nearly impossible to see in this game, because it is so dark and grainy, you can't see corners until you are in them!! And you can't read the track markers very well either. I drive with the game camera either IN CAR, or on the BUMPER. DO NOT use the bumper cam!! If you tuck in close going into a corner,the rear of the car in front of you is all you see...not any part of the track on either side. The game menus are slow loading, and confusing to understand, the sound options are not very good and It wasn't put together very well. I believe because the game was a port from the PLAYSTATION 3 version. It even says on the case that pictures on the back are from the PS3. Save your money, and buy it used if you have to have it. I traded mine in after two weeks... It just wasn't FUN.Read full review
There are a few things about this game that keep me from giving it an excellent. First the load times for the game are excessive, even to change your team name and country! The autosave feature gets annoying since it takes so long for it to read the memory card. I'm not sure if these problems are only for the PS2 version but that would seem like the most logical explanation. Things it does right though are plentiful. There is an abundance of real Ferraris that you can race around real tracks. Its not like a typical racer sim though in that you dont start with a small amount of money to buy your first car. You automatically start with the F430 Challenge Car! The collision effects in the game dont look particularly fantastic and the damage done to the car doesnt affect the performance. I think they could have pulled a GranTurismo and just left it out. One thing they shouldnt have left out is a multiplayer mode. I would like the chance to prove that the F355 is superior to the 360 Modena. I can't though because I can't race my friends and in the game, whatever car you select, that is what the rest of the field is driving. All in all its a good game. Maybe not the best but if you love Ferraris you have to get it.Read full review
