Summary:
The gameshark cdx is a must have for any gamer! The gameshark cdx has got me through alota games that I could have never beat without it.It also has an explorer so you can watch cutscenes hidden in the game over and over again.It especially comes in handy when youre stuck on an impossible boss you can usually just blow him away using the gameshark.Some people complain about freeze ups, but i've used it alot and i've never had a single freeze up.The menus are easy to use,but the only downside to the whole thing is you have to type in codes for games not listed on the disc and then they disappear after you turn the system off. Thats all bearable in the long run.It has no sound or graphics.

Summary:
Over all gran turismo 2 is the best driving game I have ever played. more cars than any other driving game has to offer, the best graphics and driving feel. All cars ecept a few sound the same. I only wish that when I perform a fat smokey burn out the game would let me to leave tire marks. also lanching the car off the line proves to be none existant. No matter what the cars just smoke the tires keeping me from achiving maximum acceleration. Also the gear ratios seem to have no effect. For example in real life if I installed a set of 3:73 ratio gears in a Z28 it would acel. faster. In this game it just causes the car to burn the tires more and slow down. the reason for that is because this game has no means for lanch capabilities. I hope in Gran Turismo 3 they fix that. Also in this game I noticed there seemed to be a bug. I was palying and save my game, then went to my garuge to get a different car, and they were all gone. Along with my game data.Since then I have to always keep an eye on the game to make sure that dose not happen. Belive me it happens quite offten.

Summary:
Well, in case you didn't know what a Gameshark is/was it is a unlicensed peripheral made by a company called Interact. It has many features but the main feature of this peripheral is to allow you the gamer to have infinite lives, Unlimited ammo and other codes or cheats like having all the characters unlocked in Tekken 3. This is the newest Gameshark additon for PlayStation therefore it has codes for relativly new games like Driver and Fighting Force 2. The only problem is that there isn't that many different codes for each game. There usually is about 6 or 7 codes per game. On the plus side, you can buy books with new codes or find new codes for old and new games all over the net. That brings me to another point. Since this peripheral can't be released constantly by Interact it allows you to add new games on its database when they are released. It of course also lets you enter different codes for the new games that you add. Speaking of entering codes, you do it by first naming the code that you are about to enter with whatever you want to call it even though I recommend calling it by what it does so you don't forget what each code does. After you have done that you then are asked to enter different numbers that are the code. The numbers obviously differ from each other so that the Gameshark can distinguish between codes. The only problem is that some codes have alot of numbers to enter and you can easily lose your place in the code and screw up possibly corrupting the codes. What does that mean? Well, it has happened to me before and what it does is possibly wreck the Gameshark or make the game you enter the codes for freeze up in the middle of playing. That can be frustrating when you are playing a RPG with set save points and you have gotten really far then bang! The game freezes and you lose your progress. It sucks! This package also includes a pathetic video on how to make your own codes and a Explorer feature that allows you to listen to game soundtracks. Although the package is big, I really couldn't recommend this product for the simplem fact that it wreck your games and possibly your PlayStation.Don't buy this garbage product! The earlier Gamesharks are far more reliable.
