This is one of the greatest games released for playstation 2 ever. It has great graphics, especially for that early in the ps2's life.
The amount of cars are lacking compared to previous installments of the game, but that doesn't take away from the playing. Its a very difficult game to get used to but its well worth it. My friends and I have days and days worth of time into this game and we never totally completed it, that is how much there is to do in it.
You can't make every car a race car in this game and there are no used cars like in the previous gts', but that doesnt take away from the game one bit.
If you don't like the game at first just keep playing it and I guarantee after you start to get used to you won't be able to put it down.
