After the monster hit that wasGran Turismo, the sequelGran Turismo 2, has a more than ... more
mammoth task ahead of it, but surpass it does and
by some distance. The two gaming discs contain an
Arcade version to get you racing straight away, or
the Simulation mode where you have to race for
cash to buy and upgrade your cars. Realism is the
core ofGT2so you really do have to get your
racinggloves on.The range of cars is offensively
large--everything from the Toyota Yaris to the
Dodge Viper is covered. The attention to detail is
fantastic, the cars sound and perform like the
real thing and the upgrades available cover
everything from alloy wheels to a racing weight
flywheel for your engine. There are a number of
different driving licences to pass and you have to
have a particular class of licence to race in the
different leagues, which get progressively harder,
but reap richer rewards. To really succeed inGran
Turismo 2you have think like a
racer--slip-streaming and power sliding around
corners to get the edge on your opponents are just
some examples.The two versions of the game provide
a great balance between a serious sim and quick
multi-player arcade action, making it a worthwhile
investment. While the gameplay sits on the
realistic side, so it takes a little time to get
totally proficient behind the wheel. Having said
that, once you master control of your machine, you
really do have the power. If driving is your
thingGran Turismo 2is a must. --Chris Hall

Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
Polyphony Digital'sGran Turismo 4is one of 2005's biggest releases and, to boot, one of ... more
the most important PS2 games yet. What makes it
such a significant title?First up,Gran Turismo 4is
bigger and better than previous games in the
record-breaking series.Muchbigger, in fact: there
are some 500 cars to drive, and around 100 courses
on which to take those motors for a spin. Every
single car is a perfectly modelled replica of its
real-life equivalent, containing much more detail
than the car models found inGran Turismo 3. And it
shows: thanks to this increased level of
detail,GT4edges the series ever closer to
photorealism.By far the biggest ofGran Turismo 4's
many attractions is its online play. Over the
Internetor using a local area network of PS2
consoles, it will be possible for six people to
meet and race, each with their own cars. The
prospect of an onlineGran Turismocommunity is
certainly something to look forward to.AsGran
Turismocontinues to evolve, Polyphony Digital ups
the ante by making each new instalment more
comprehensive than the last.Gran Turismo 4follows
that admirable trend: its driver AI is more
lifelike, its physics engine is more complex, its
engine noises sound closer to the turbines
mimicked... and there's more of everything. To top
it all,GT4boasts improved handling overGT3. All
this work should achieve the desired result:Gran

Full review

Gran Turismo 2 has got to be the best Playstation game ever.

It provides great graphics, extensive gameplay, and a wide array of cars.

The graphics are extremely crisp and fast, which makes it the most realistic looking game I've ever seen. There are over 600 real cars, from real manufactures, ranging from a Mini Cooper to a Subaru Impreza, and from a Ford Focus to a Dodge Viper!

The gameplay is also very realistic. You start off the game with a sum of 10,000 credits, to buy your first car. Like in real life you can't afford a very good car, brand new, for that price, so you must buy a second hand one to start you off.

Once you have a car you can get racing. You earn money by winning races, but if you want to get some serious cash you have to get into the big competitions. But, as with real life, anyone can't enter an important race. You must first get a licence. Licences are earned by completing a set of 10 challenges, each within a certain time limit. The higher the races you enter are, the harder it is to gain a licence.

You can update and tweak your car in many different ways. On many models you can buy a Turbo kit or NA Tuning, and there are also many other 'accessories', like a Carbon Propellor Shaft, or a set of Dirt or Slick tires.

There also are many tracks to choose from (about 30), circuit, road, and rally, to be raced during the night or day. Once you have completed a race you can watch a TV style replay. You can even save one on your memory card to show your mates some other time.

The game is on two discs, Gran Turismo Mode (the full game), and Arcade Mode (racing cars without having to save up cash or gain licences).

The only problem I have found so far, and I have owned the game since the day of it's release a couple of years ago, are that it takes up too many blocks of your memory card. The game data took up 5 blocks of mine and each replay takes up 2 to 3.

All in all Gran Turismo is a fantastic game.

At only £20 it is a snatch. Go on BUY IT!!

Not one '91 model Pulsar to be seen
Review of Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation) by paulgusta

Advantages: comprehensive, it's going to take a long time to finish
Disadvantages: outdated, it's going to take a long time to finish

The original Gran Turismo (GT) game heralded a major step forward in racing games. It proclaimed itself to be 'The Real driving Simulator'. Well it didn't recreate trying to get a parking space on a Saturday morning at Woolies, but as far as track racing (Y'know, cars going round and round) it was on the mark for a 32-bit system. GT2, 'The Next Stage of the Real Driving Simulator', was the highly anticipated follow up. GT with bells and whistles ...
...IN MY CAR* GT2 is split into two main categories: 'Arcade' and 'GT mode', each on their own disc. Arcade offers the player (that's you) a smidgen of cars and tracks. Each track has a difficulty level of Easy, Medium and Hard. Completing all the courses on all difficulty levels earns a reward. In GT it was a high res mode, in this I don't know what it is. I've been 'going at it' with GT mode. Arcade mode allows the player (again, that's you) to ... Read review

The BEST game ever bar none
Review of Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation) by aljones

Advantages: Great gameplay, huge choice of cars and tracks
Disadvantages: Urm.... None?

...first expression when I played Gran Turismo 2 for the first time. I've actually got a PS2, but nevertheless, i'm sure that the game quality is just as good on PS1. I bought this game as soon as i got the PS2, for just £17. What a bargin. It must be the best money that i've ever spent! What makes GT2 so great is its shear scale. It has quite a few courses to choose from, about 26 i believe, which can all be raced in reverse, effectively doubling the ...
...a real life racing track from the USA, with the famous 'Rollercoaster Turn', which has been faithfully reproduced in this game. The tracks themselves are very well designed. They all have their own unique characteristics, and you never get a feeling of "I've seen this somewhere else", even when you drive the circuits that are actually shortened versions of some of the others, such as the Seattle and Rome short and long tracks. Plus, no two tracks ... Read review

What a Gran Game
Review of Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation) by GR-Design

Advantages: Amount of cars
Disadvantages: No damage

Gran Turismo 2. I’d seen a lot of reviews about it, and I’d seen it being played on Tv shows when it was first released but I’d never actually got round to playing it and as an avid fan of car games, I don’t really know why I held back so much from playing it! I then saw it available for rent in Blockbusters, so I thought what the hell and rented it, and I’m glad I did! Suddenly I was deeply engrossed in this game, ...
...The cars in Gran Turismo are excellent. With so many available I thought that the control of the cars, look and sound of them would all be a bit of a let down. I was wrong. Each car has its own unique sound, true to the real life sound. They each have their own capabilities such as speed and performance. Each car also costs a different amount of money. How do you get money? By either winning or taking part in races. You can also take your car to ... Read review

Best Simulation Racer Ever
Review of Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation) by evanmit

Advantages: Great gameplay, countless car configurations
Disadvantages: Arcade disk not up to scratch

In this review I will go over both GT2 Cds SIMULATION DISC The GT simulation disc is great. You start of with $10000 and buy a car. Then you race it and earn money. You can unlock new races with bigger Prize money by earning licenses. This feature is good, but some license tests are really hard. Although the game has great replay value due to so many customiseable car parts and the such, I found once you had the International A license (best standard ...
...which offered a car and money to the value of $94000 which was the easiest track in the game (just a loop) destroyed the experience for me. ARCADE DISK This disc is shocking. It is just like any arcade racer, and has no real reason for playing it when you can play the simulation disc. the only cool thing is the option of importing cars from simulation mode, so you have supercharged cars. If this was standalone, It wouldn't sell. GRAPHICS The ... Read review

PS3 is really the next generation gaming console.
Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) by  jbrown4

Advantages: HD support for gaming, films in the shape of blu ray and sound. Along with a free online service.
Disadvantages: Downloading can take up hard drive space quickly.

...In my opinion the Playstation 3 is the greatest gaming console out in the current market. When i bought the product, i didn't buy only a gaming machine, i actually bought an entertainment machine. The Playstation 3 gives you the most powerful gaming console out in the market with some of the best games including Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 which are only on the Playstation 3. Other then gaming, the PS3 offers more features including a blu ray player. Blu Ray is the next generation of disc which hold and play 1080p HD media including films. The PS3 also has photo support, music support, internet support. In my opinion one of the main advantages of the PS3 is the free Playstation Network which allows players to play games online against players around the world for free. The service runs smoothly.

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2) by  Kevin_Pritchard

Advantages: Amazing speed and graphics. Well supported games companies
Disadvantages: Pricey ...300 bucks!

...with the Playstation 2's audio subsystem. Compatibility and Testing ------------------------- To test the other various features of the Playstation 2, I got a few DVD's to fire up and took a peek. Now, I have a Toshiba DVD player, and I have to say, I really don't see the difference between the two. And I paid a lot of money for the DVD player too! The Playstation 2's DVD performance was flawless, and had no problems. I didn't really mind using the controller as the remote control. On backwards compatibility, I tried Gran Turismo 2 (for the Playstation 1). Although Sony claims regular Playstation games are supposed to play the same, I actually thought that it looked better. The original Sony Playstation had some major "jaggy" effects - the polygons looked smoother than the original Playstation. During game play, I had no problems! It was... Read review

Sony - need i say more
Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2) by  JamesLockett

Advantages: Excellent selection of games
Disadvantages: Cost

...apposed to 1. Not only is the ps2 got its own selection of game titles to choose from with amazing graphis and gamplay (just look at gran turismo 3), the ps2 is backwards compatible, which means that you can play your old playstation 1 games on your ps2 - including controllers and memory cards (but not the other way around!). If games don't completely float your boat, then why not watch a DVD. There were a lot of rumours going around about the playstation 2's ability to play dvds wasn't very - this has been proved false. You can play any region 2 (uk) dvds, and there are cds you can buy that will allow you watch other regions on your ps2 (requiring an empty memory card though!).... Read review
