@@Francisco-Danconia I think I have tt superbikes and the physics for this game is way better. Every game I play the leaning sucks. You lean at a 45 degree angle and it's like turning a box on it's corner instead of a gyroscopic feel.

I don't understand the rage against license tests on the GT series. They are so fun and became part of the GT culture. Also, back when I was a Kid, I would never have been able to play any driving simulators without having played these test. It's like a pro racing teacher.
Can't stand them, they are biased against the unskilled lol. Sometimes you want to just dive in and race, but you don't want an arcade lie experience but closer to a simulation. This is one of the reasons that for all its faults, I prefer the Forza series...no license tests. I also like GT Sport for the same reason....there is a driving school but it doesn't make itself mandatory for basic playing.
I hated the tests because I just want to dive in and start buying cars and winning races. I haven't played this particular game yet, but the tests in all the other GTs were pointless, since the same rules don't apply during a race. The license tests want me to keep all 4 tires on the road at all times and not hit other cars or the barriers. During a race it is often beneficial to cut across the grass or use the other cars to help you during the turns. Also, how does a start and stop test help you gain racing skills. What kind of race makes you come to a complete stop to win? As much as I dislike the PSP game, they got the license tests right. They are completely optional, you win money for completing them, and they unlock custom soundtracks.
oh the nostalgic feelings is overwhelming me. I've spent most of my after-school time playing this game because this game is the most realistic riding experience at that time yet so fun and challenging. The game was hard af the first time I played it but I was improving time after time. I was having hard time finishing the story mode (Tourist Trophy mode) but I finally finished it all 100% all gold. Yes I was obsessed and addicted to this game lol. It's not perfect, I too really hope the pit section was there, but I think this is the best riding game/motorcycle race at that time in PS2 platform. I really hope Polyphony will make the sequel of this game, huft.
3:20 Finally someone who experienced the same pain as me. Dude you have no idea how many times I accidentally pressed the retry button after finishing a complicated challenge. I would just turn off my PS2 out of frustration.
You're well within your right to criticise the gran turismo series license tests cause its your channel, but I think youre waaaay too hard on them. You hate on them i every game and its your only consistent criticism about it. I think you could just present it better saying you dont like them rather than they're innately bad. Most people i know including me really enjoys the license tests
nah. they should be optional. perhaps by showing the game a save game of any GT with licenses 100%. by the time you've played more than 2 GT games. it gets old as fuck. he's right, idk who the fuck likes repeated load, go, stop here, load back to the menu, repeat, tedious bullshit. The chicane and lap tests are fun later on but fuck the brake tests. What the fuck is wrong with PD? It's the worst part of the game. The only upside to the License test's bullshit is that anymore you don't get new games very fucking often so I guess I haven't had to do a license test since sport. Not really a fucking upside though now is it??
A good review of an interesting game that, unfortunately for Polyphony Digital, didn't really turn out they had imagined. I wonder if they'll ever revisit the concept... Also, are you going to review any of the four additional WRC-titles for PlayStation 2? Or perhaps any of the six official MotoGP-games (there are four by Namco and two by Milestone released for the system)? I always feel that those titles don't get as much coverage on TH-cam because they aren't that well-known outside of Europe. You're just the right person to change that. ;)
if playstation & polyphony digital reboot this serise right now, they will have a hard time to compete with Milestone srl's Ride, MotoGP & MXGP. But to be honest, I'll choose Turismo Trophy.
License test is there for people to understand braking, then cornering, and then racing line, just so you know he he. Great content!b thank you for sharing!
The license system is actually good lmao. I mean their target audience is everyone so having a license system is great for new gamers (which is a lot at that time) to get better
All his reviews seem to be the same. Whiny. And seemingly a lack of game and general knowledge. I wouldve compared this to TT Isle of Man race than MotoGP.
The reason why only 3 oponents its the same as why can't race without the roof on convertibles in GT4, the game engine in GT4 can only handle the driver's physics alone, it can't keep up with another five.
My little brother similarly wore a motorcycle helmet when he got gold on all the Gran Turismo 2 license tests(our copy was the one that had the #6 Valvoline livery for the race converted Taurus SHO, as well as one of the license test demonstration replays failing the test...)...
As to your 'no harleys" quip, that isnt technically true. Buell Motorcycles was a subsidiary of Harley Davidson till they become defunct in the late 2000's. Buell is/was widely regarded as a harley with a super bike skin. >-> But again this is all a technicality.
Evrybody says it is GT4 with motorcycles. IT'S NOT! It should be, but unfortunately it is not. Still love the game but it was really disappointing how they took so many shortcuts and released a game that feels unfinished.
I’d recommend watching my updated review on ‘Tourist Trophy’, it’s a much better video, haha th-cam.com/video/7mS1zoQ9Clg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7v5nnrMCscz12_La
@@ColourShedProductions thanks, I have already seen it, and I double on what I said. I finished TT at the time, all golds, big fan, played with my friends I loved it. I love motorbikes and it is a pitty Ride is the only decent option. It is good but seeing the time gap between TT and Ride some of Ride bugs and lack of bikes is inexcusable. Good videos by the way 👍🏻.
plays like an arcade game!? You know you can turn on simulation mode and play in fps mode? Really liked this game, to me it is the best and most realistic motorcycle game out there!
I've played it a few days ago and I wouldn't say it's the most realistic motorcycling game. Motogp games are probably better in that department. Especially wind resistance which seems to be non existent. I tried a cb400ss which produce 33 or 34 bhp and I got it to 220 km/h which is absolutely impossible in real conditons.
that bike reaches the rev limiter at 190 kph, doesn't it? anyway, its top speed is listed at 160 kph. getting to 220 seem a bit of a stretch even downhill with the wind on your back. i could be wrong though. not really a bike guy.
This is an overly negative review. Complaining about license tests? Most people enjoy them. and they are never an obstacle towards progression. Sure, if you go for Gold they are hard. But if you just want to pass you can aim for the "bronze" times and pass easily.If you can't get a bronze medal on Gran Turismo or TT then you should really hang up your controller. Im with you on the challenges to earn bikes, id prefer the old method of purchasing them with credits. Other than that this is an amazing Motorcyle game. even today in 2020 im still playing it. Games like this depend entirely on the player. If you're obsessed with bikes (like me) then this is a 10/10. If you have little interest in bikes, and have never ridden one, then knock at least 3-4 points off that.
To everyone Polyphony admitted that GT Sport is a Spin-off made for eSports championships So, if there aren't the same cars as the previous titles, this means that you don't have to ask for cars or tracks from older GTs (like everyone that wants Trial Mountain, non knowning that it's a spin off and we, probably, have to wait for GT7)
If they put the effort in today i think MotoGp would offer them the liscence anyway. I think all the motogp games way to arcade like. This is coming from some who has been riding on the road since i was 12 which makes it 18 years riding now. The motogp games are no way near punishing enough the closest to a simulator out there is the IOM TT game but they actually had a lot of input from the them crazy bastards that dare ride that track.
Something that actually bothered me by the time I first played this game was that ou could not use cash to buy the bikes. The capitalism part of GT was that drove me into it, mainly the used cars for sale (that I was disappointed when it was dropped, I really liked buying an old rx7 or honda civic, getting it a giant turbocharger and racing with it against newer cars). Probably it's not a big as a reason for not to like a game, but that made me abandon it real quick.
I really liked the game and yeah, they could've packed sooo much more content on it, i just don't get why is it so short, but eh, another lil' thing that kinda bugged me is that even on the faster bikes it feel so, sooo slowwl.. Even so, I still play it from time to time because its good enough lol
Your problems about license challenges, I didn't get them while playing tourist trophy. Plus, it was my fav motorcycle game on ps2. And even a title like Ride(ps3/ps4) doesn't match this Tourist trophy game...
I bought so many fresh ps2 games at my local pawn shop back in 2007 or so. They were also really cheap before they raised the prices to make more profit. A used ps2 game then would cost around half as much as a new one thus putting them on a competitive level as game stop, which is a rip off company for used games.
I know this was a year ago, but I'd say that TT is more flexible and arcade at times but it depends on the bike. The slower bikes are good and some medium/faster bikes can be good but are challenging from my experience and they all feel different. For me MotoGP 3 & 4 (I've not played the later entries) or Ride 1 can be tough but probably what you'd expect as more realistic. Gran Turismo 4 I can find to be tougher (and realistic for the time) than Gran Turismo 3's more fun and accessible gameplay. Ride I've had a good but also more hated experience than Tourist Trophy and just got TT like 2 days ago and loving it more than Ride which I played months ago for cheap. MotoGP 3 & 4 are good but more realistic than TT in some areas I'd say.

I actually had a VFR400RR in real life at the same time I had this game. They did a pretty decent job at recreating it in a game
awesome
@@MrJuggernautishere I Had Rd 250 and 350 in real life ....to bad no air Cooled 2T in TT !
What else didn't you have?
I'm hoping GT7 (NOT SPORT) has a bike section, and they add back in F1, nascar, Licensed rally cars all that loveliness
At this point dude I think GT Sport likely is going to be GT7. I don't think Polyphony are going to keep the sports monicore going in.
Tourist Trophy Sport is a different game. It includes FIM Tourist Trophy World Series.
An Aspiring TH-cam Commenter. Remember GT HD on PS3 used to have bikes
Tourist Trophy 2 for the PS4 will add Dirt Bikes, MotoGP bikes and more bikes
I hope they bring back Driving Missions ;)
It still is my favorite motorcycling game. It's flawed but it never encountered any real competition so it's the best by default. Ride is just not great.

I agree, they're my favourite part in GT games. So many hours spent on hunting for the gold times...
Can't stand them, they are biased against the unskilled lol. Sometimes you want to just dive in and race, but you don't want an arcade lie experience but closer to a simulation.

Your joke is not funny man
Some of the gold times are deliberately out of reach for humans, pretty much everything in GT3
I hated the tests because I just want to dive in and start buying cars and winning races. I haven't played this particular game yet, but the tests in all the other GTs were pointless, since the same rules don't apply during a race.

I really wish they'd made a sequel to this.
the soundtrack in my opinion is fucking awesome no shitty songs and good songs i can jam to
I agree. The soundtrack is really good. Music is very subjective of course.
Ok
There are tons of bikes from the 80's, that are legendary + Honda RC162. Also, there is only 4 bikes on the grid due to higher polygon count.
plus civilian scooter. that's why i was so into this game

still better than ride 3, motorcycle games have gone nowhere for well over a decade. Lack of demand.

Probably would have been better as a launch title for the PSP
It would've done worse, probably.
They do have Harley Davidson but it's called Buell. Buell had the HD Sportster engine
Wish they remade it with an enduro/motocross mode.
There is no Assen circuit in Tourist Trophy, the most motorbike circuit I could think of for sure.
I mean they already got Valencia which is only available on GT PSP version later. Assen can be nice but they don't have enough time.
@@sunray2818 Assen doesn't really appear in a lot of racing games, outside of the Moto GP series, which is shame,I really like that track.

To be fair. Hitting a barrier on a motorbike SHOULD penalize you lol. I mean.. It's a mottorbike.. You'de be out or dead lol
Holy shit, my mom has that scooter from the license test!

De bons souvenirs et heures de jeux avec ces bons jeux sans bugs , comme c'est le cas maintenant , merci pour les vidéos souvenirs.
The next TT game should be made on PS5. The game was already that great on PS2, I mean those riding animations were really realistic.
Nice review. Actually found out about the game through a demo disc.
Question for all you Europeans out there:
Has the 50/60hz difference in American/Japanese games or movies ever bothered you at all?
this was best moto race game on ps2
The number of opponents was caused by hardware limitations
meanwhile TOCA race driver games can push up to 21 AIs at once
I discovered this game by looking on the back of my booklet too lol I was curious about it,but never picked it up. GT 3 rally racing is amazing btw.
Best thing about tourist thropy? The intro lol
They need to do Tourist Trophy justice and do a sequel proper.
We really need the 2nd one tbh
To be fair - Tourist Trophy is the original racing event for bikes while Gran Turismo is obviously for cars. The More You Know.
Evrybody says it is GT4 with motorcycles. IT'S NOT! It should be, but unfortunately it is not.
Still love the game but it was really disappointing how they took so many shortcuts and released a game that feels unfinished.
This is my all time favourite
The short name hud thing is representing a pit wall crew hold out board
So, it's basically Gran Turismo but with motorcycles. Cool.
Tourist Trophy is a spinoff to the Gran Turismo series
A game from 18 years ago, that puts to shame ride 5. I strongly wish poliphony did a new motorbike game now, it would be incredible.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Tourist Trophy and Tourist Trophy Platinum, please?
This game is amazing even in 2022
