Racing Games Too Fast, Furious For U.S.?

Posted by simoniker on from the rally-too-many-rally-games dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad just posted an interesting article called 2 Fast 2 Furious For The U.S., discussing the Japanese releases of Gran Turismo Concept and World Rally Championship 2 Extreme for PS2. It's pretty interesting, since these are two games that haven't been scheduled for a U.S. release yet, despite having solid predecessors." Seems like we'll never see GT Concept in the States, despite a European release (wonder why?), and if WRC 2 Extreme can make it through the surfeit of rally titles currently clogging U.S. bargain bins, it should be a worthy buy.

  2. They do require local modifications.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    I find driving on the wrong side of the road in games quite disturbing. In the interests of safety they should have made right-hand drive cars for Grand Theft Auto 3!

    This failure has affected my driving in real life.
