A: No
Q: Can you play MGP2 online with the dreamcast modem?
A: No, the japanese version was not programmed to play online.
Q: How many car viewpoints are there?
A: 5 standard viewpoints: cockpit view, front fender view, low behind car
view, medium behind car view and high behind car view. There's also 15
other obscure viewpoints that arent very beneficial if you want to see
what's ahead of you :) One or two of the angles are good to see where
your opponent is behind you. The rest of the views are basically TV
camera angles of your race car that look really cool but are impossible
to use without crashing.
Unfortunately, UBI Soft (developer of MGP2) was unable to get the official
FIA license for the game. Thus, they resorted to assigning teams by
numbers and fake driver names that resembled the real-life counterpart
name. However, the programmers have given you the option to edit both
the team names and the driver names.
The default fake names are on the left and the real-life counterpart name
is on the right hand side.
The programmers based the game off of the 1997 Grand Prix Season.
