Tourist Trophy: New Footage
Looking as good as GT4 if not better.
SCEI offered a new glimpse of the sensational PS2 bike racer Tourist Trophy this week, fresh from its Polyphony studio.
The feature list for Tourist Trophy should be familiar to anyone who has played Polyphony Digital's latest Gran Turismo game.
Realism and physics are once again the core parts of the experience, as is the expansive garage. At 80-strong, the bike line-up might not be as overwhelming as its four-wheeled counterpart, but it does include the biggest brands, including BMW, Ducati, Honda and more.
There are two modes to the game: Arcade and Challenge. While Arcade does just what it says (you and a friend race on one of 35 tracks), the Challenge mode is where the real meat of the game lies.
Here you'll have to go through various license tests, earning your ride on bikes ranging from 250cc to 1500cc. As you progress through the career mode you'll unlock new bikes and a range of add-ons.
And if at some point you start to get bored of simply racing around the tracks, you'll still be able to dive into the Photo Mode, where you use a virtual camera to take in-game snapshots that can be saved to memory card or other USB storage device.
Stay tuned for more on Tourist Trophy.
