''Over Drivin' GT-R'' is a heavily localised version of ''[[Road & Track Presents The Need for Speed]]'', with all the cars replaced by vehicles produced by [[wikipedia:Nissan Motor Company|Nissan Motor Company]] (plus a few with [[wikipedia:Datsun|Datsun]] branding). Japanese Saturn owners never received ''The Need for Speed'' itself, though [[PlayStation]] owners did in the form of ''Over Drivin' DX'' (to distinguish from the original 3DO version).
+
The game is a racing game illustrating the history of Nissan sports cars (with a particular emphasis on the Skyline GT-R series of cars). Players can choose from eight different Nissans to drive. There are multiple selectable courses, which include open road courses where players race from point-to-point and circuits where players must complete a certain number of laps.
 +
 
 +
Using a standard [[Control Pad (Saturn)|control pad]], the car is steered with {{left}} and {{right}}. It accelerates with {{A}} and brakes with {{B}}. The player can pull the handbrake with {{C}}, which can be used to take tight corners. The transmission is downshifted with {{L}} and upshifted with {{R}}. The car starts in neutral and must be upshifted into first gear at the start of the race (and can be "downshifted" into reverse from neutral). All of the cars in the game are equipped with manual transmissions, but game has an automatic mode where the computer automatically selects a gear. In this mode, the player must still shift into the forward gear from neutral at the start of the race or after recovering from a crash.
 +
 
 +
The game is compatible with the [[Arcade Racer]] and the [[3D Control Pad]] for analogue control. With the Arcade Racer, {{C}} accelerates, {{B}} brakes, and {{A}} pulls the handbrake. The paddles are used for shifting. With the 3D Control Pad, {{R}} accelerates, {{L}} brakes, and {{C}} pulls the handbrake. It upshifts with {{A}} and downshifts with {{B}}.
 +
 
 +
With all controllers, the player can change the view with {{X}} or toggle the HUD with {{Z}}. The car also has a horn that can be honked with {{Y}}.
 +
 
 +
Cars cannot take damage from crashes and bounce off objects rather than colliding with them.
 +
 
 +
A replay feature allows the player to view highlights after the race from multiple camera angles.
 +
 
 +
===Modes===
 +
The game can be played in multiple modes:
 +
 
 +
*'''Time Trial:''' The player chooses a car and a course and races against the clock.
 +
*'''Head to Head:''' The player faces a single opponent. When racing the computer, the player chooses the opponent's car.
 +
*'''Single Race:''' A race against seven opponents. The player can choose the car that the computer-controlled racers drive.
 +
*'''Tournament:''' A tournament where the player tries to place first on every track. The tracks can be played in any order. Each track is limited to a subset of cars with comparable performance.
 +
 
 +
All of the modes except Time Trial can be played with a second player.
 +
 
 +
===Cars===
 +
Each car in the game is presented with detailed specifications, history, audio commentaries, multiple pictures, and videos.

Though much of the core engine remains the same as ''The Need for Speed'', many of the tracks in ''Over Drivin' GT-R'' are unlocked from the start, there are minor sound changes and FMV and graphics replacements. Whereas the original version features a number of similar cars that can compete with each other, this version of the game is simply meant to illustrate a history of varying Nissan vehicles. Gameplay is also slower than ''The Need for Speed''.

Desert Track, Mountain Track, and North Track are circuits. The player can choose to race 4, 8, or 16 laps on Desert Track or 2, 6, or 12 laps on Mountain Track and North Track.

==Versions==
 +
All of the vehicles have been changed from ''The Need for Speed''. The HUD is oriented differently and the first-person views have been adjusted to accommodate all of the vehicles being right-hand drive. The units have been changed to km/h rather than mph and PS rather than bhp, and the voice-over narration for car descriptions has been recorded in Japanese. The tracks are the same but have different names.
 +
 
 +
There are numerous minor sound changes and [[FMV]] and graphics replacements. Gameplay is also slower. The game defaults to manual transmissions rather than automatic. The Tail Cam view has been removed, leaving the wider Heli Cam as the only third-person perspective. The open road courses in the Head to Head mode no longer contain traffic and police cars.

Nissan Presents Over Drivin' GT-R (オーバードライビンＧＴ－Ｒ) is a 1996 racing game for the Sega Saturn.

The game is a heavily localised version of Road & Track Presents The Need for Speed, with all the vehicles replaced by sports cars produced by Nissan Motor Company (some with the Datsun branding). Japanese Saturn owners never received The Need for Speed itself, though PlayStation owners did in the form of Over Drivin' DX (to distinguish from the original 3DO version).

The "Premium Pack" version of the game came with a free keyring.

Gameplay

The game is a racing game illustrating the history of Nissan sports cars (with a particular emphasis on the Skyline GT-R series of cars). Players can choose from eight different Nissans to drive. There are multiple selectable courses, which include open road courses where players race from point-to-point and circuits where players must complete a certain number of laps.

Using a standard control pad, the car is steered with Left and Right. It accelerates with A and brakes with B. The player can pull the handbrake with C, which can be used to take tight corners. The transmission is downshifted with L and upshifted with R. The car starts in neutral and must be upshifted into first gear at the start of the race (and can be "downshifted" into reverse from neutral). All of the cars in the game are equipped with manual transmissions, but game has an automatic mode where the computer automatically selects a gear. In this mode, the player must still shift into the forward gear from neutral at the start of the race or after recovering from a crash.

The game is compatible with the Arcade Racer and the 3D Control Pad for analogue control. With the Arcade Racer, C accelerates, B brakes, and A pulls the handbrake. The paddles are used for shifting. With the 3D Control Pad, R accelerates, L brakes, and C pulls the handbrake. It upshifts with A and downshifts with B.

With all controllers, the player can change the view with X or toggle the HUD with Z. The car also has a horn that can be honked with Y.

Cars cannot take damage from crashes and bounce off objects rather than colliding with them.

A replay feature allows the player to view highlights after the race from multiple camera angles.

Modes

The game can be played in multiple modes:

  • Time Trial: The player chooses a car and a course and races against the clock.
  • Head to Head: The player faces a single opponent. When racing the computer, the player chooses the opponent's car.
  • Single Race: A race against seven opponents. The player can choose the car that the computer-controlled racers drive.
  • Tournament: A tournament where the player tries to place first on every track. The tracks can be played in any order. Each track is limited to a subset of cars with comparable performance.

All of the modes except Time Trial can be played with a second player.

Cars

Each car in the game is presented with detailed specifications, history, audio commentaries, multiple pictures, and videos.

Versions

All of the vehicles have been changed from The Need for Speed. The HUD is oriented differently and the first-person views have been adjusted to accommodate all of the vehicles being right-hand drive. The units have been changed to km/h rather than mph and PS rather than bhp, and the voice-over narration for car descriptions has been recorded in Japanese. The tracks are the same but have different names.

There are numerous minor sound changes and FMV and graphics replacements. Gameplay is also slower. The game defaults to manual transmissions rather than automatic. The Tail Cam view has been removed, leaving the wider Heli Cam as the only third-person perspective. The open road courses in the Head to Head mode no longer contain traffic and police cars.
