Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation) > Reviews

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, ... Read review

Advantages: Look at the stats and the title, it is a complete game, look in op.
Disadvantages: HARD, HARD, HARD, thats it i am afraid.

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Crisp graphics, brilliant sound track and engine notes, playability, learning curve is set right, vast array of cars
Disadvantages: Not very much!

Gran Tursismo 2. The follow up to the nigh-on perfect Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo, the real reason I bought a Playstation in the first place. That's the hype this game has to live up to in my eyes, no mean feat let me assure you. And guess what, not only did it meet my expectations, it exceeded them... Gran Turismo 2 takes all the best elements of Gran Turismo, and improves on them. More cars than the original. Better graphics than the original. ... Read review

Advantages: loads of cars, tracks, championships...
Disadvantages: a bit annoying now and then.

Gran turismo 2 is far bigger and better than gran turismo 1. Gran turismo 2 contains most of the tracks and vehicles from the original game, plus lots more. After quite a long (and good) FMV sequence, you are launched into the game. First off, the game has hundreds of different vehicles from 33 of the world’s leading car manufacturers. These include Japanese manufacturers such as; Nissan, Subaru, Honda and Suzuki, American ones like; Ford, ... Read review

Advantages: It'll last forever
Disadvantages: You'll never do your work|

This game is billed as ‘The REAL Driving Simulator’, and that’s a statement that’s not too far off the mark! With hundreds of cars to choose from, and a selection of both road and rally tracks, this game should last you a good long time. Due to the reality of the handling, races are quite tough, but persevere and you will soon find you are streaking past the others cars and rounding hairpins and 90! The graphics are smooth ...

Advantages: A deep, involving game. An excellent concept executed very well. Easily the best game on the Playstation / PSOne.
Disadvantages: The Playstation enforces unfortunate shortcomings upon it.

...and a vague tournament structure. Gran Turismo 2 takes an inspired, original approach to game structure, one that other games producers would do well to follow and develop. The premise is simple. You start with a small budget, enough to buy a low-power, second-hand car which you can enter in various low-cost races earning cash rewards. Victory yields further cash and the occasional bonus car, allowing you to buy better machinery and fine-tune ... Read review

Advantages: Fast attractive Gameplay
Disadvantages: I don't know any It's super

This is my favourite game of all time! There really is no game like this. You can end up playing it for hours on end, just trying to get money to buy a car to win a race to buy a car to win a race etc. This game explodes with longevity; you can literally play it for years. I got my copy when it was first released and I still play it (but that I lost one of the two discs, which gives me a little problem with finishing the game). The game comes ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

Gran Turismo 2 is THE best game available for the sony playstion. I personally thought the original Gran Turismo was excellent and they have managed to take this game and add more tracks, more cars, more licenses and even an excellent new rally mode to make it two games for the price of one. The list of cars is endless and so is the modifications you can carry out, theres even got to be at least a hundred different styles of wheels to choose from. ... Read review

Advantages: lots of cars and tracks
Disadvantages: takes up lots of memory card blocks

...have found. I found Gran Turismo 2 on the GAME website, at £20, which was pretty cheap as this included postage and packaging. You can pick GT 2 up in the shops for around £18 now though, so shop around! For those of you with no idea what I am talking about GT 2 is probably one of the best driving simulators for the Play Station you can get. It follows on from GT 1 and is so popular you can now get GT 3. GT 2 is probably the most popular of the ... Read review

Advantages: Pushing the PS
Disadvantages: Its on the PS!

The first Gran Turismo game swept the charts and was looked upon by many, with songs from garbage and Ash, to be the greatest racing game of all time. It also sold seven million copies worldwide. So, bearing all that in mind, its not surprising really that this is the most anticipated racing game on the Playstation and even if it does not live up to it’s name, it is sure to sell millions from hype alone. Is this game worth spending your cash ... Read review

Advantages: good graphics and good fun
Disadvantages: none

...There are two discs to Gran Turismo 2 - one is for the Arcade version where you don't buy the cars with money you've won racing, you just choose a car and race against similar models; on the second disc you get £10,000 and start with a second-hand car, then win races and up-grade your car. This is excellent value for money. The only bad thing about this game is the rally section, which is disappointing. Although this isn't a new game it can still ... Read review
