GT2 was just a poorly-done update of GT. AND OH MY GOD THERE'S ONLY 3 WEEKS UNTIL GT3. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!
I went for F1 '97 (no surprises there) and here's why - wonderfully implemented variable weather and wet weather handling; truly divine steering and handling, none of that arcadey **** to be found in EA's efforts; superb commentary with Muzza and Martin; those fantastic TV displays fully implemented; fuel and tyre stops on short races; INTELLIGENT drivers and EXCITING RACING; not too easy, not too hard; took time to master; zippy graphics; and perhaps most importantly of all - IT STILL PLAYS THE BEST OUT OF THE LOT OF THEM TODAY.
No other F1 game is so immersive and enjoyable to play.
