The music in this game was composed by Shinji Hosoe, the same guy who made the OST of the Street Fighter EX games, the first three Tekken games and the first two Ridge Racer games,
And the fact that there are Porsches even through is a non-EA game after Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed in where EA had a deal with Porsche prohibiting those cars in non-EA games until 2017.
Square was co-operated with EA way back then for US distributions and vice versa. That explains the Porsche license. Don't know one about Ferrari though lol
@@alansanchez4944 EA sometimes sublicensed Porsche out to other game studios such as Microsoft's Turn 10 (up through Forza Motorsports 3), I suspect the true reason Porsche didn't appear in more non-EA games while EA still had the master videogame license is simply that whatever EA was asking for a Porsche sublicense was too much to be worth it when the RUF license was probably much cheaper. 24 Hours of Le Mans on PS2 (a.k.a. Test Drive Le Mans on Dreamcast) had a Porsche and a Ferrari through an interesting licensing loophole: they licensed the cars through the racing teams that ran them.
In a way it is a mishmash of the styles established for night races in Gran Turismo 1 and 2, and what had been done for Sega GT on the Dreamcast. It was the direction the genre was going. Even Namco in Ridge Racer V had a bit of that look. And don’t forget Gran Turismo was demoed before the PS2 launched, and that Gran Turismo Concept was released very early in the life of the system, well ahead of GT3.
Physics look floaty and seems to pivot from a center axis. Other than that, Porsche in a PS2 game not made by EA was pretty rare. Not to mention having a cockpit cam surprised me, though not rare. I picked up this game about a year or two ago on a whim, but haven't played it yet.
@@AdamTheMan1993 I suppose so, PGR2 is the debut game of Ferrari Enzo while PGR3 debuted F430, other games had to wait at least for 1-2 years I remember.
Sound a lot more like Fighting Layer and Street Fighter EX then Tekken, but I agree. I prefer the more upbeat tunes rather than the slow orchestrated songs we hear often in games.
I never heard about this game. He looks like middle-class cousin of Gran Turismo with some unique stuffs like Porsche and Ferrari license and onboard camera. Even some tracks looks like similar to GT tracks like Urban highway (similar to special stage route 5) and west coast (quite similar to seattle street).
This game, while not great, has the best in car camera of the time and one that took probably 15 years until someone matched it. If you can nail the controls, from the in car view, the game feels amazing.
@@volkte37 You really tried PGR3? It's been famous for the motion of camera of the in car view and was picked as one of the best games in first person view of that year.
Shocked seeing such detail despite early PS2 game and shocked even further seeing the cockpit view, something GT didn't have until like the PS3 game. Also not even TOCA Race Driver 1-3 look this good... What kind of sorcery is this?
Even watching someone playing this game, I still can feel that floaty physics in this game. (Those first person view really well detail but it didn't help much with gameplay)
I never thought I'd see Porsche in a non-NFS PS2 game but here we are. I'm assuming it's because Square Enix was still with EA during these times, no? Same with Ferrari?
Huh. I never heard of that game before and I never played it before either, but it looks good though. It closely resembles Gran Turismo, Enthusia, and R: Racing Evolution to me. At 3:27 I never the Cerumo Supra colored like that before though. I thought it was silver and orange.
@Alex It's good & fun once you get used to it Honestly, took me less than 5 mins to figure it out, ppl are just lazy to even try to figure something out
Very beautifull game. I think this is one of few games that have Porsche's car to select. The driving and controls of this game it's more similar to Need for speed/burnout, test drive or gran turismo/Toca 3? i'm thinking to adquire this game for me but i did'nt like games like test drive unlimited.
Nice video by the way. Since I'm saving up to build my own gaming pc, which i'm going to use the intel cpu. I just need your opinion, which intel cpu is the best for game emulation like pcxs2 and such. Intel core i9 11900k which has a base clock of 3.50 ghz and a 5.30 turbo frequency or intel core i9 10980xe which has a base clock of 3.00 ghz and a turbo frequency of 4.60. Which do you guys think?I need your opinion so I wont make a bad decision.
This is what happened when Square saw GT2, and say to themselves "There's that best selling sim racing game on PS1, let's make it shit", then actually make the game shit. Hot take though, I think the JP version plays better than the US/EU versions.

The best emotion this game makes you feel, it's when you turn of the game
👍👍👍😍😍
That disappointing, huh?
I've never played the game before is it really that bad? I played a lot of Ridge Racer V during the early days of PS2, until GT3 was released.
its a fun game
💀

I'm surprised that this game was able to license Ferrari and Porsche when other games like GT3 and GT4 weren't able to at the time
And the fact that there are Porsches even through is a non-EA game after Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed in where EA had a deal with Porsche prohibiting those cars in non-EA games until 2017.
I had to double-take whether i saw a Porsche logo or Ruf
@@alansanchez4944 at 0:06 it says "published by Square Electronic Arts LLC", which would explain how they had access to the Porsche rights.

The in dash car cam is good for its days!
I love how the camera shakes and everything inside the car. But just the windows are too dark.
It's impressive that they managed to develop this racing video game using a similar style to the then-upcoming Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.

Same with Ferrari who had a exclucive licence with Sega
@@AdamTheMan1993 Ferraris were the cover cars of PGR series on Xbox, they are just not appearing on PS2 games.
@@sunray2818 Microsoft must have paid a lot of money to have Ferrari cars in the PGR games
@@AdamTheMan1993 I suppose so, PGR2 is the debut game of Ferrari Enzo while PGR3 debuted F430, other games had to wait at least for 1-2 years I remember.
Fun fact : This game is jointly published by Square and EA. See 0:05.
Now the inclusion of Porsche makes more sense.
I miss when games had the high energy tekken like music
some of Namco's composers did the soundtrack coincidentally
And those sharp, twinkly menu sound effects
Sound a lot more like Fighting Layer and Street Fighter EX then Tekken, but I agree. I prefer the more upbeat tunes rather than the slow orchestrated songs we hear often in games.
@@DobieMeltfire that's Shinji Hosoe. he was in those games as well as ridge racer 6.

Well like i say you're doing great keep making more videos XTG
👍👍👍👍
I know XTG skip the intro because those flying car glitch happen again like in 4 years ago lol.
classic lol
👍👍👍👍
This game gives me memories I forgot I had
This would have been really decent if the handling was better! I love how it has an interior camera! 😊👍
I'm shocked by how nice the car models look for it's time too
Game look like early PS360 game despite this game in fact is an early PS2 game
@@meyers0781 Because it is in a emulator tat improve graphics.
@@rodrigomagalhaesrodrigues9973 actually back in the day graphics can be that good if the TV is just as good (Sony Trinitron)
Gah! That menu music!
"Teneneng teng teng teng"
Oh boy. THAT game.
I remember as a kid hating this game because of the physics. The music and graphics were really good though.
me too Drew this game need to add from the hardest ps2 games
Wow looks amazing
No, this game is terrible because floaty handling physics.
@@RedzaMalaysianCrossover Yes, the game is bad in physics, but I'm impressed that it has Ferrari
@@RedzaMalaysianCrossover we dint ask

PGR3 already had better in car camera by the year of 2005. Also NFS Porsche Unleashed already had quite amazing in car view though only on PC version.
@@sunray2818 nah. None of them had the same feel of the car itself moving around you. Most in car camera's were too rigid.
@@volkte37 You really tried PGR3? It's been famous for the motion of camera of the in car view and was picked as one of the best games in first person view of that year.
@@sunray2818 yes sorry you're right. I was thinking of something else. Well remembered!
@@volkte37 Don't worry, visually this is indeed a great game, was considering to buy a mint Japanese copy but was afraid of the bad physics haha.

Nobody knows
The graphics not bad for it ages.. and honestly speaking, I'm a sucker for Shinji music.
Seems interesting. Gives a bit of a Tokyo Xtreme Racer vibe, but racing style is almost like arcade races from older parts of Gran Turismo
mom can we have gran turismo? no we have gran turismo at home.
the gran turismo at home:
this looks interesting, i might look more into this one
I wanna try this game 😍
Nostalgia!
nope this is a turture racing game because the physics sucks making impossible to drive in curves
It is awful
My car flies in the game. Literally.
I can't believe how a small game that nobody even knows about managed to get a Porsche license after the ea Porsche agreement
Before Spirits Within happened Square USA was part of EA.
You see "Square Electronic Arts"
Nice video,👍👍👍👍

Square on a racing game ? Now that's interesting !
It didn't end well...
@@pocketstationman6364 which is strange because Racing Lagoon was pretty good all things considered.
Like!! Top!!
wow this game ...
👍👍👍👍
Does this remind anyone of the special stage routes?
The right turn before the tunnel, the tunnel itself to the rights almost at same angles and lighting overall.. yes its special stage from.gt lol
No

@@RedzaMalaysianCrossover like test drive or GTA San Andreas missions?
@@adilsonmatheus8436 Nothing like both at all.
@@RedzaMalaysianCrossover is there any game i can compare?
@@adilsonmatheus8436 Tokyo Xtreme Racer but much worse.
Is it me or the graphics remind me of every PC racing game of the 90's?
This physics we want in Nfs games.. Maybe a bit stickier but this looks fun!
when did this game came out?
is it really this smooth or is the emulator running it at a better framerate?
Looks great.
Gran Turismo 4 Flashbacks! (≧ω≦)
wait, did 1.7.0 finally come out?

The handling reminds me of NFS High stakes PC version in a way........ which is not a good thing.
SquareSoft? Wooow
Why is the menu interface weirdly quick and twitchy? Is it the original speed?
He probably sped it up since he did this 4 years ago
the menus are only ''slightly'' fast forwarded :D
this is one of those games that relies on it’s set fps right
This is what happened when Square saw GT2, and say to themselves "There's that best selling sim racing game on PS1, let's make it shit", then actually make the game shit.
Hot take though, I think the JP version plays better than the US/EU versions.
Anyone know on what NFS game this is based on? I was thinking high stakes or Porsche unleashed both for PC.
Considering how shit the physics are, probably the NFS Porsche Unleashed GBA.
wow...
it starts a moment that my car starts to float, how to solve it?
If Racing Lagoon in PS2......
.....is shit
This was 2001?
2000 for Japan 2001 for US
Nice graphics for a 2000 game
last time i tried to play this, it crashes, now it's working?
Good game

My 3rd Game Have A Ps2 after gran turismo 3 and gta 3
Hmmm, I know the game but I don't remember it from the European launch
Hello XTG
what a nice game!
Please name Ps2 games with cockpit view just as this one.l
this would be terrible driving in any other game, but this game is so bad it's hard to even drive in a straight line so he's doing pretty good.
Têm como ganhar mais carros
Why no such game in PS3 4 5？Most of racing game in HD generation is only 30fps in PS rubbish！
menu too fast
アマゾンのレビューは、まともに運転できないからクソゲーという意見が見受けられるが、まともに運転できないからこそリアリティなのではないだろうか？
あなた達は実車のGTマシンをすんなり動かせると思っているのか？と言いたい。
It has Ferraris and Porsches with a Interior camera, Gran Turismo lose
