Rating: 4 / 5
I bought this game a couple of weekes ago. GTC:africa has preety excellent graphics but the graphics could have been much better, for a ps2 game its graphics are just chicken scratch. There are some other flaws in this game as well , for example, all the tracks are too small ,esapically the first track.There are only 4 car makers Ford, Subaru, Pontaic and Mitsubishi each maker has only 2 cars a total of 8 cars and some seceret cars which makes the total 10 cars.The amount of cars in this game are very small which is not anything compared to gta3.The only excellent quality in the game is its modes ( championship, practice, challenge, and multiplayer) in the capionship mode u will compete in various races to win and this mode is also the longest of al the other modes, pracitce mode is where u can practice ur skills, challenge is where u and a computer car have a race, and i guess u know what multiplayer mode is.With all this GTC:africa has alot of room for improvement. With this reveiew u might have already realized that gta3 is much much better than GtC: africa.plus gta3 is now for … and GTC: africa is still … which does not make sense at all.But if u are a hardcore racing or revive racing fan than this game is for u.

I rented GTC Africa with a splendid deal of excitement and anticipation, and the game delivered, if only for a small while. The game developers had splendid subject matter (revive racing, with African rallies being some of the world’s most hard and exciting), many exotic locations (the whole African continent), and a ready-to-wear consultation (all of us). Unfortunately, they did not fully capitalize on any of the above.
GAMEPLAY: Nearly immediately I noted the sluggish steering. It seems to take about a 1/4 second before the car will respond. (I’m sure it’s not that long, but in a quick paced environment, every 1/4 second counts!) The physics of the game leave something to be desired – it just doesn’t “feel” right – the turns, slides, handbrake turns, jumps, and bounces aren’t up to snuff with other racing sports meeting, even compared to some on my N64.
VISUALS: Speaking of N64, this game is certainly better than anything the last generation of machines produced, but not by the HUGE margin one would expect. The N64/PS1 “long-space haze” is gone and the social class scenery is quite a bit better, but the cars themselves haven’t improved much, if at all. Not up to contemporary industry standards, but enjoyable enough.
TRACKS: Sad, sad, sad. One characteristic of revive racing I find most fascinating is that fact that there aren’t often laps – the racer has a start point and an end point, with constantly changing scenery in between. This is sadly not the case here. The tracks are small, shorter, and shortest. If you don’t mind finishing each race in less than 5 minutes, you won’t mind GTC Africa. Each race is 3 laps, with many of the tracks (see Lesotho & Nigeria) so small, they could be completed by an experienced driver in under one minute. My first lap on the Nigeria track was 49 seconds… on my 1st try! One could memorize the tracks with small difficulty. If I wanted to see the same thing over and over, I’d get a NASCAR game.
CARS: There aren’t many (maybe 8-10), and most of the ones they do have aren’t very fascinating. Presume the excitement of rallying a Ford Focus. It has a spoiler and a rear-dialogue box Ford decal! Splendid.
INTANGIBLES: This is going to sound SO nitpicky (and probably even a small snobby – please forgive me), but the geography was really stinky! The programmers took every African cliche and simply patchworked them together, with some details being completely ludicrous! The Tanzanian track, for example, is their thought of a mountain track. There is ONE mountain in Tanzania (Kilimanjaro), and there ain’t NO WAY you’re driving on it, much less have European-stylishness arched bridges, square barns, and tube tunnels running owing to it! I doubt the track designers even looked at a picture of Mt. Kilimanjaro! They could have designed a splendid track running around the foothills of the mountain, but instead chose to fit the square peg of the “Mountain Track” racing game cliche into the round hole of reality. It’s just so rediculous. It also bothered me that most of the people you see by the side of the tracks are WHITE. I’m not even going to note on how dumb that is.
All things considered, GTC Africa is entertaining but is definately a 2nd-tier racing game for the PS2. The locale, the REAL Africa, is an brilliant choice for a revive game and I hope someone will update this title and do it justice, fulfilling the game’s potential. Nonetheless, this game still beats the pants off Paris-Dakar Revive (a truly squandered effort).
Bottom line recommendation: Worth a rental before you buy.

And I do mean CD. The game in fact comes on a CD, not a DVD. This would be a splendid PlayStation game, but makes a terrible PS2 game. Don’t let the graphics on the back of the box fool you, this game looks horrible. The cars in it aren’t even real WRC revive cars. There’s a Grand Am and Firebird Trans Am revive car… need I say more? Also in the lineup is a Ford Mustang and Pontiac Vibe GT. They did manage to license a couple of real revive cars, like the Subaru Imprezza WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6, but the game’s horrible gamplay still doesn’t justify buying the game.
As an alternative, I’d highly recommend the game WRC for PS2. It’s a more right to life revive experience, with ALL of the real WRC cars, and a real revive atmosphere when racing. GTC Africa feels like a game that was rushed, and when you see what playing GTC Africa is like if you know anything about real revive racing, you’ll see that the programmers of this game don’t even know how real revive racing works. The control response is horrific at best, the graphics are grainy, and the music is downright irritating. I’ve never shelled out cash for a larger dissipate of cash in my life since Midnight Club. One star all the way across the penetrate.
Do yourself a favor and pick up WRC or Grand Turismo 3 instead. Both of those sports meeting are a million times better than this.
