Just saw Sega GT for PC in the store for $20.  Anyone try this?  Is it any
good?  How does the control feel on a computer?

I've got it...It's the same as the Dreamcast version.  No support for FF,
and wheel support is bad.  Bad control.  it looks like they just did a
straight port without adding anything for the PC.  It seems to play best
with a gamepad for me.  All in all not worth the $20 in my opinion.

Resolution is set at 640x480.  Like the rest of the crappy Sega PC
conversions

I haven't played it, but from what others have said I would guess you
would be better off with Sports Car GT.  Better wheel support, higher
res, realistic cars and tracks, tons of add-ons.

It was an awful game on the Dreamcast.  Track design is boring, cars all
have the same handling characteristics.  Doesn't matter if it's FF, MR, 4WD,
or FR they all behave like they're FR.  I'd recommend you stay away from it.

I bought a copy for $10 last week and it seems like an ok game. The
physic isn't very realistic. All the cars handle the same. The game
has really poor track design. It seems like all the tracks are just
ovals. No true road courses at all. The graphics are aren't very good
at all. Textures look unfiltered so everything looks pixelated. Though
it does use Direct3D. The game overall has the feeling of a rush job.
There are a couple of bugs in the game and has a poor UI. I say if you
want a Sega GT style racer, get a copy of Bleem along with Gran
Turismo 1. Much better graphics and gameplay.
