    Hey everyone, I have an unreleased build of a racing game called World Racing 2. This was released in Europe as an obvious PAL release, but there was no release for any NTSC region. There may have been plans though as I purchased a disc with a US region coded disc. The SYSTEM.CFM file located on the root of the disc contains this:

    "BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SLUS_536.46;1
    VER = 1.00
    VMODE = NTSC"

    Interestingly enough, GameFaq has this picture on their website:
    http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/924858-world-racing-2/images
    Notice how they have a screenshot of a US NTSC box, but only reviews for European countries. Again, it looks like there were plans to release this game in the US.

    How does it differ from the European game?

    Honestly, the only difference I've noticed is that the game plays properly on my TV, whereas the PAL version is way off center and ends up cutting off the top half of the game. To be honest though, I didn't play the PAL version very long, it was a pain in the ass to use.

    Not quite. Remove the entire line and copy and paste it again.
    It still links to the non-key url despite having the key present

    World Racing really sucked, I couldn't understand how there was sequel at all.

    Never played the first one, and while this game isn't exactly great, I do like some of the touches they added. I like the damage system, and how it directly affects performance, also how you can blow up your engine should you decide to shift from 5th to 1st (and the engine will rev super high as a result, reminds me of Top Gear 2 for the SNES, muahaha). I also like the "no limits" driving, as in you can technically drive anywhere. Some races even embrace this and have you going all off road and stuff, good times. It will warp you back to the road if you get too far off the track though...
    Otherwise, I reaaally wish there was just a regular quick race option where you can choose any car and not have to worry about getting points docked and stuff. Also, whoever designed the menus should be shot.

    Same for the Supra




    Just Kidding.

    Well I've heard that the mk3 was heavy and this hampered performance

    Dats right m8, the MK3 Supra was known to be too heavy, and got a new generation nonethless.

    The RX7 92-2002 is known to have an unreliable engine, yet is the most known of the RX7 family.
