GP2, revisited

I had the original World Circuit on my (20 meg) hard drive for 4 or 5 years and played it regularly. Now after 18 months or so, I still have GP2 loaded and I play it all the time. The competing products come and go (as do the 3D shoot-em-ups and the strategty things), but GP2 is utterly fantastic and I always go back to it. Incidentally, there are a number of third-party utilities on the Net which allow you to alter almost every aspect of the game (including grip). With a little tweaking, I'm sure you could get the driving model much more to your liking. Nascar 2's (non-rendition) frame rate is suprisingly bad after the great performance of ICR2, but it's a solid game and I'm looking forward to NROS. The driving model in IndyCar II feels wildly unrealistic compared to GP2, but I still enjoy the game once in a while. Find yourself a comparable modem opponent for GP2 and you'll really have a blast! Regards, Simon
