GW: It (F355) looks sensational. the best looking racing game on Dreamcast.. YS: Thank you. There is also a Two-Player Split Screen Mode with no delay. By this I mean the game runs at 60 frames per second at all times. The quality of the DC version is very, very high. I have seen to this. The Japanese gaming press just compared F355 on Dreamcast with Ridge Racer V on PlayStation 2 and the opinion was that F355 is a better game. We actually just had a meeting with Ferrari this morning. It seems one of the top Ferrari racers in the world, Rubens Barichello, loves F355 Challenge so much that he wants to buy an arcade unit so he can practice during the off-season. This came direct from Ferrari, and it made me feel proud. I know one professional driver who uses an F355 cabinet to practice during his off-season, and his lap time at Laguna Seca went down four seconds! If a driver doesn't have the time to go to the circuit, they can use F355 as a simulator. My goal when developing it was to make a simulator good enough for professional drivers to use. http://208.232.126.139/features/yu_suzuki_2/cabinet_inside.gif http://208.232.126.139/features/yu_suzuki_2/index.shtml
