Taito's Y2K arcade racer dashes home, enhanced with a host of PS2 options including online support (whenever Online Station makes it to market), GT-Force feedback compatibility (ditto), and tricked out cars like the Nissan Skyline GT-R or the Toyota Supra RZ Twin Turbo. 
   Seven lengthy tracks wait to be conquered, spanning different times of the day and even the year. A dusky prelude to sunset during a summer day would, for example, display a setting sun glaring behind thick clouds as trees in full bloom rush past your speeding vehicle. Autumn skies look down upon russet trees and night time is the right time for streets ringed with overhead lights and a sleeping cityscape in the background. Japanese heavy industry all participate in this game with cars from Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and others. A mind numbing range of difficulty levels go from Super Beginner (pansy class) to Super Arbalest (power elite) and test the mettle of any audience.  
   Arcade conversions to the home were once an unpredictable exercise. 1:1 was not assured back in the day but with the advent of muscular gaming consoles, home conversions often exceed their JAMMA brethren. Battle Gear 2 is one such animal.
