pressing the Y button in this game for the first time when i was 11 fried my brain and basically ruined my taste in games for a long time. it's still one of my favorites but compared to its reputation it's actually way too easy to brute force your way through GP with the right setup (black bull with max speed is easymodo), and only a few of the story mode chapters really hold up. high level play is also incredible but that goes without saying for this series.
