While TT does look good, some sacrifices were made to do so. In GT, there are at most six cars in one race; in TT the most you’ll ever see on one track is four. I’m willing to forgive the developers a bit since this needed to be done because animating the riders taxes the PS2 more, but it’s still a bit of a disappointment.

What irks me the most about this game is that there isn’t much to do, which is the complete opposite of the trend in most car racing titles. Outside of the license tests, challenge mode, and the race events, there’s nothing else to do in Tourist Trophy mode. There’s a challenge for just about every machine, but after that, what else? You have every bike. The license tests aren’t exactly mandatory, but you’ll need to do them anyway because earning those is what unlocks the better bikes in challenge mode. You’ll also want to do them because you need to learn how to ride one of these things. And finally, there aren’t that many race events to participate in. An online mode would’ve helped immensely, but seeing that GT has yet to see an online component, why should we have expected one here.
