Looks like Sega GT 2002 is preparing to the take the Xbox for a ride.
Last seen touring the Dreamcast, Sega GT is cruising to the Xbox with more than a brand-new paint job. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Sega GT 2002 will showcase a fleet of 125 cars. The Japanese preview version featured 12 tracks, but that may not be the final count.The game will, however, feature three main gameplay modes: GT mode, Quick Battle, and Chronicle mode. In Chronicle mode, you�ll race an American muscle car through three eras, the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. As you progress, you�ll have to upgrade your classy chassis to keep up with the newer cars. In the early build, the straightforward controls offered good overall command of the vehicles, although the analog stick tended to under-steer if you blew a curve. The brakes felt a bit tight, but there is still tuning to be done to this 40 percent�complete build. This early call predicts that among driving games, Sega GT 2002 will roll in somewhere between Project Gotham Racing and Gran Turismo 3. Xbox drivers could be in for a smooth ride.
