Hang-On GP, known in Japan as Hang-On GP '95 (ハングオンＧＰ ’９５) and in Europe as Hang On GP '96 is a Sega Saturn motorbike racing game and a sequel to Super Hang-On. It is the only Hang-On game so far to be presented in 3D, and the only game to adopt the Sega Sports branding.

During development it was known as Virtua Hang-On (バーチャ・ハングオン), which would have tied it closer to Sega's arcade titles, Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter.

Gameplay

The game is a single-player motorcycle racing game. While its arcade progenitors were known for having long, non-looping courses and pitting the player against a time limit rather than other racers, Hang-On GP is a more conventional racing game, with the player racing on short circuits and trying to gain position against a pack of competitors. Each race consists of five laps, with each lap broken into multiple segments with time limits and time extends given at checkpoints. The player is retired from the race if time runs out.

Using a standard control pad, the bike is steered with and . The bike pulls to the left with or pulls to the right with (by shifting the rider's weight, used for tighter turning). It accelerates with and brakes with . When equipped with a manual transmission, the bike upshifts with and downshifts with .

With the Arcade Racer, the bike is steered with the wheel. It bike pulls to the left with or pulls to the right with . It accelerates with and brakes with . The paddles are used for shifting.

With either controller, the player can change the view with or toggle the HUD with .

Bikes do not take damage from crashes, but crashing costs the player time out of the race. Tires wear out over the course of the race, so the player must occasionally take a pit stop by pulling into the pit lane to get a new pair of tires when the bike begins to handle worse. Taking a pit stop also refuels the bike in the Endurance mode.

In the options, the player can choose from three difficulty levels for the computer opponents (Easy, Normal, and Hard) or change the transmission type (automatic or manual). There are two additional options, "Highside" and "Power Slide," which can be turned on or off (both are off by default). When Highside is off, head-on collisions result in crashes that throw the rider from the motorcycle; otherwise, the bike bounces off instead without the rider dismounting. When Power Slide is on, the player can power slide by entering a corner at high speed and braking hard at the apex of the turn or by letting off the accelerator and then nailing it at the apex of the turn.

Modes

There are two modes initially available, with a third unlockable:

GP Race: The player chooses any courses and jockeys for the best position against 19 competitors on races consisting of 5 laps. Finishing a race on any of the initial three courses in first place unlocks a variant of that course.
Time Trial: A practice mode where the player can choose any course and tries to achieve the best finish time over 5 laps. There is only one other racer on the course. The player is given the option to view a replay after finishing the race.
Endurance: This mode is unlocked after winning all six courses in the GP Race mode. In this mode, the player chooses any course and has 600 seconds to complete as many laps as possible (with no time replenished at checkpoints). In this mode, the player must take pit stops to refuel; a warning appears when the bike is low on fuel.

The player's best times and standings for each course are saved to the Saturn's internal memory.

Vehicles

There are ten available motorcycles, which are rated on four characteristics: Brakes (its ability to stop and perform power slides), Engine (its ability to accelerate and its top speed), Frame (its general handling and endurance), and Grip (its handling on high-speed turns).

History

Hang-On GP received mixed reviews at the time of release. Some praised the game for being one of the first 3D motorbike racing games for home consoles, while others criticised the poor controls and lack of animation. Compared to Sega AM3's Manx TT Superbike, Hang-On GP appears to be a much simpler and less polished title, though it does offer more playable courses.

+==History==
-~In-game credits~<br>
+''Hang-On GP'' received mixed reviews at the time of release. Some praised the game for being one of the first 3D motorbike racing games for home consoles, while others criticised the poor controls and lack of animation. Compared to [[Sega AM3]]'s ''[[Manx TT Superbike]]'', ''Hang-On GP'' appears to be a much simpler and less polished title, though it does offer more playable courses.
