Gran Turismo 2 (PS) Reviews

** Introduction ** Those of us interested in retro gaming have to blink a bit when we realise that the original Sony PlayStation (PS1), which at the time of its launch felt like something coming to us from the distant future, is now well into the second half of its second decade of life. However, that can be seen as an ...  Read the complete review

As you can see from the amount of reviews this game has, it was a massive hit back in the day, and is still fairly popular today! I can't say that Gran Turismo 2 was a big step up in the simulation genre, because that wouldn't exactly be true. Sure it was realistic for its time, but it wasn't 'the' most realistic game out ...  Read the complete review

This is a great racing game for the Playstation and compares well with the other games that are out of which there are of course loads. There is plenty to keep you occupied in Gran Tourismo 2 with many cars and tracks which you can choose from. As you start this game you are given 10,000 credits with which you can buy a car ...  Read the complete review

The first Gran Turismo was such a revolution of the racing genre that it was difficult to imagine how Polyphony could find a way to improve upon it, but rest assured that the second game in the series is definitely one of the strongest in the soon-to-be five-strong canon. This is an addictive, lovingly put-together game that's got oodles ...  Read the complete review

As graphics and sound qualities across the various platforms improve, becoming more and more realistic, so the structure of games must also provides realistic settings and scenarios. It is no longer sufficient for racing games to offer a handful of cars and tracks and a vague tournament structure. Gran Turismo 2 takes an inspired, ...  Read the complete review

At the time of Gran Turismo 2's release there was many questions it had to answer, first it's main issue was how can you possibly compete or better the first installment of the game. Which was at the time and still is one of the very best racing/driving games ever created on any platform. So how would Sony be able to top a 10/10 game. ...  Read the complete review

GTL is the racing on different tracks from around the world in different leagues each one is harder, Special Events is different events to match specifications on cars, Dirt Events ...  Read the complete review

Once my controller was broken through over use on GT1 I decided that with the vouchers I received from Electronics Boutique the only option was to buy a new controller and wreck it with my newly purchased GT2. More cars, more tracks, harder opponents and alot more fun. Just as GT1 started out I found the interface hard to ...  Read the complete review

Thanks to glowing reviews and a fan base of rabid racing purists, Gran Turismo has built up a reputation as the definitive driving simulation for the PlayStation. While that proved good news for Sony's coffers, it posed a tough challenge for its developers: How can the sequel surpass the original? For better or worse, Gran ...  Read the complete review

This is an excellent game all round. The graphics are brilliant, realistic and there isn't a lot of pop up. The handling of the cars is great, they are so much fun to drive. The best thing is power sliding and overtaking at the corners. When the manoeuvre comes off good it's great, but with some rear wheel drive cars it's ...  Read the complete review

I'm being generous here by giving this game a 4 star but that is only because I give GT 1 a 6 star. I agree with most everything from every review. Not as addictive as the first, licenses are indeed easier to obtain, BUT very hard to get the gold. The game is very slow-paced. All you can do with your 10,000 in the beginning is by a ...  Read the complete review

Gran Turismo 2 isn't exactly all new material it is based around the same concept as Gran Turismo and not much of the game is different. There is, though, an incredible quality level of graphics and it still, probably, remains as one of the best (graphically) games on the PS. The fun factor is large as there is ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

This game continues from where the first one left off, where you start by picking up a run-down car for a low budget price and racing it after passing the first license to earn extra cash in order to pick up better, more powerful machines. There are so many diferent things which can be done with this game, such as buy different parts for ...  Read the complete review

So then, Gran Turismo 2...it's a racing game (really!), it looks lovely, it sounds lovelier, and it's absolutely flippin' brilliant! GT is the sequel to Gran Turismo (I graduated with honours from the School of Stating The Very Obvious). This means that I can say that if you liked the first game, you'll like ...  Read the complete review

Gran Turismo when it first came out I felt was revolutionary. It was like playing an arcade racing game at home with great graphics, good control and superb gameplay. Gran Turismo 2 has built upon the solid foundations of the original and has improved upon an already superb game. The new game has many extra features ...  Read the complete review

Ever wanted to own a Audi well this is your chance. Race round tracks at brake neck speeds to win races. Every time you win a race you get money, with that money you can buy new cars, wheels, tune it up and even go to the car wash. There is a big selection of cars to chose, but the fastest car by far has to be the Susuki Escudo. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
