Gran turismo 2

Format : Playstation

Review by : Kevbond

Players : 1 - 2

Type : Racer

The original Grand Turismo was one of the most popular games ever. The superb graphics and incredible sound really caught everyones attention. Then there was the great selection of cars and races. Also the idea of buying a car, tuning it up, racing to win money and so on and so on until you had enough money to but a better car. And then you needed to buy different type cars to compete in different races (for example 4-wheel drive cars in 4-wheel drive races). And the question expected was, "when is the sequal going to be released?".

Well the hugly anticipated sequal is here. The gameplay is basicly the same as GT1. The stunning graphics are still there as is the great sounds. Now there is many more tracks and over 400 cars, compared to less than 200 cars in GT1. There is 6 licences instead of 3 but they are very easy to get. When you do get all them it unlocks the "synthesiser licence" which is more difficult to get. If you do get this the "synthesiser race" is unlocked. There is still 2 CD'S, one for Arcade mode and one for the game where you buy cars, race etc. GT2 is a must for all of those who loved the original and just leaves us with the question, "when is GT3 being released?".
