GRAN TURISMO is awesome

Gran Turismo 2 is, like so many overrated games, a game that gets far more praise than it actually deserves. If it had been made into a run-of-the-mill arcade racing game, GT2 could've been fantastic. But, GT2 is an over-complicated driving simulation that tries far too hard to be realistic.

There are literally hundreds of cars to buy (around 600 to be precise). This is far too many if players actually want to use every car before they die of boredom. It's also very unlikely that you'll even be able to actually buy a car before your first month of owning the game, because getting a drivers' licence is one of the most infuriatingly difficult and downright monotonous punishments that PSOne owners are ever likely to subject themselves to (excluding Simpsons Wrestling, of course!).

And if you finally do manage to get a licence without chucking your console out the window or deciding that using the GT2 discs as frisbees would be more fun, GT2 is simply too big and too long a game to hold non-driving enthusiats' attention for more than half and hour. GT2, despite the hype surrounding it, is simply too big and too realistic for its' own good.

Simple bog-standard arcade racing games like Ridge Racer are a better choice for most gamers. Or, the Grand Theft Auto series is also excellent for a few laughs and plenty of driving action. GT2 on the other hand is simply dull. Avoid.

GRAN TURISMO

The game that came out when? 2 years ago and yet we still admit to slippping it in the playstion, when no-one is looking. We play for an hour, get stuck on one of the license test turn it off and never play on it again for 4 weeeks.

After turn you turn it on 4 weeks later you relise that ur stuck on this damn license test your heart sinks, you think you'll have another go and you pass. You jump around beating the air then carrying on play it. Its one of those games that you can't resist. You buy you play then you get bored, you buy several more games and thenafter getting bored of those you come back to gt2 and find it even more exciting than before!!! amazing.

Because unlike any onther games you never know when you've completed it so you'll never get bored. Unlike vice city(no offence) but after gett 100% there is nothing to do but drive about with your 2 body guards. Most games are like this once completed you never play them for ages then when you get them out you play it again and complete. Not gt2 though you never get bored of getting the cars souping them up then ragging them round a track the excitment a reccomended buy for all!!!
