Completion of this game would take a 100 hours. The fucking leap from 2 to 3 is the biggest and probably best for any sequel for any game. The cars feel a lot of fun and still accessible. Tracks are at 18 which is less than 2 but thankfully events put them in reverse more often. This has probably the catchiest music in the series for me and gods above is it a fun time. Sure there's a lot less Cars but it really just wows me how good it looks today. The nostalgia one for me. Didn't finish every race but I did get to ending a whole doing some long championships. Lack of tracks make it not the best one but still one of my favourites. This game is so damn mood

Very much peak racing. With its problems I agree with it probably has the least for me personally for how many things it gets right. 700+ cars for a ps2 and over 50 tracks gives it a large replay value. The selection of cars are varied and a fair few come cheap through the returning used car sales. Probably got the best legendary cars with like 1 HP mobiles and stuff. The music is delightful and the presentation is mind blowing for a ps2. While the game is a bit slower to load the gt3. It's a lot faster than its sequels and it's impressive for the system and now. A great starting point for anyone wanting to race although the physics go for a more much Sim feel. Like a massive leap forward where I almost recommend a wheel is necessary. But man it's just a good time sink. Probably peak of the series even tho you still can't paint ya car lmao. This game is great and I'm having a good ass Time with this series. Also they added town of people and crows and they even have pit animations:)

Yeah. The honey moon phase is sickeningly sweet and unique. I beat these game 3 times within the week it released . Insomniac made every decision right although I think most could agree the story is kinda uninspired and takes forever to actually see some villians. Swinging yes feels fucking great but requires 0 skill to participate in. Combat is fine but even more basic then the Arkham games it's copying. The list could go on but you get the point. A lot of choices were catered for the larger audience. Stretching it's accessibility to even people who've never played a game or own a ps4 which again in the big picture was the right move. Who doesn't wanna play the prettiest Spiderman game ever and oh wow it's so easy to enjoy and when at the time console exclusives were only just starting to hit the main mainstream. I can't really fault for how basic the game is but replaying it makes it less and less enjoyable on each playthrough. Combat gets tedious. Open world structure is basic and story really isn't that special. It's all together ok tho. A fine Sony mid blockbuster also holy shit no-one shuts up which is like my pet peeve with modern games
