I have the PS1 version but i liked V8 2 much more, it was an excellent Twisted Metal rival.

You could also play "V8-1" levels in V8-2. That was cool too.

neoMAXMLC4121d ago

Definitely some of the funnest I had back then along with Twisted Metal. A shame they only made 2 games.

Kratoscar20084121d ago

I liked how you could tune up your cars and not to mention the whaky characters :)

@UltiMate

I didnt know that im gonna try.

@Kratoscar2008
You had to insert V8-1 disc, while in main menu of V8-2. And after the game scanned the disc, replace it back with V8-2. It allowed you to play V8-1 levels in V8-2. Apparently all the V8-1 levels were also on V8-2 disc.

Oh, and how could I forget about that catchy disco groove music in those games!

Its the only good game that Activision has .

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.

Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.

Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D

I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
