100Is the game a worthy purchase for GT veterans and racing newcomers alike? The answer is a 400-horsepower yes.
-
100The second lap was even better than the first. [Feb 2003, p.97]
-
100The sheer breadth of gameplay and the incomparable selection of cars offered sets "Gran Turismo 2" far above the competition.
-
100Even though the graphics are almost identical to the last version, everything else has been upgraded enough to make this sequel better than last year and, by default, the best racing game of all time.
-
100Put simply, this is the best racing game you can get for yourself right now and is the sequel every Gran Turismo fan could have wanted.
-
The best racing game you'll find on the PS one, hands down. [Mar 2002, p.34]
-
100Basically the developers took everything that was right about GT and multiplied it by a factor of ten in GT2.
-
98The genius is hidden away under a wall of rather harsh looking pixels until you realize that every one of the 500-plus replicated vehicles races so exactly like the real thing it's shocking.
-
The game is light-years ahead of its time - even with the handful of annoying 'glitches' that occasionally rear their ugly head within the game.
-
96Without it your PlayStation is naked.
-
95If cars are your religion, "Gran Turismo 2" is your Holy Grail.
-
94Yet another intense racing experience that any fan of tire-melting action will worship.
-
94It is as addicting as ever and has taken all of the great aspects of the original and expanded on them. You will be playing this game for days, weeks, and months before you will even come close to finishing.
-
Frankly, GT2 is so good it hurts.
-
The enormous number of tracks and cars on top of the realistic Gran Turismo gameplay gives this game some of the best replay value there is.
-
90The controls can seem downright impossible to master at first, but with some practice and patience you'll be ripping it up in no time.
-
90At three in the morning, I realized that having me write about GT2 is pretty much like giving Stone Temple Pilots' frontman, Scott Weiland, a gig as a heroin reviewer.
-
90Sound in GT2 is again top notch. The cars sound real, down to minute changes in tone after you make high-powered modifications.
-
85This is a game that will take most gamers months to complete 100 percent.
-
84Once you have a highly tuned car, the game becomes a lot more enjoyable as you now have a fair chance against the other cars. It will take a long time to get to that stage.
-
84A brilliant game in it's own right but doesn't move on enough from the original to justify a bigger score.
-
I only wish something new and exciting could have been added. Gran Turismo 2 is an impressive game, just not an impressive sequel.
-
While GT2 adds more of everything -- cars, courses, even a rally mode and circuit -- it fails to improve the 2-year-old graphics engine or add any new gameplay features.
