DESCRIPTION

Sega GT Online is a multiplayer version of Sega's hit racing game supporting Xbox Live. Up to six players can race against each other simultaneously and see how they rank against drivers throughout the country. The in-game features are otherwise the same as the original Sega GT for Xbox. Players must first earn a series of licenses to prove they have the skills to compete in high-octane races. The cash won from top finishes can be used to tweak existing cars in such areas as suspension, brakes, tires, and more, or the money can be used to purchase more powerful vehicles.

Players can then take their tricked-out vehicle online and participate in various racing circuits to see how they fare against real-life competitors. Over 160 vehicles are available to purchase or unlock from more than 20 top auto manufacturers. Also featured is the ability to trade or bet cars with other online players, allowing self-assured racers to use their pink slips as collateral. Confident racers can even talk some trash during competition using Xbox Live's voice chat support. In addition to modern cars, Sega GT Online also includes an assortment of vehicles from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
