    A complete revolution in car video games. With street cars and not just luxury supercars. Best PSX Gran Turismo with 2 discs.

    My favourite Gran Turismo, it was a fun and deep game, amazing times learning how to tune in my Scudo and destroying the competition.
    Amazing times that will never die!

    This game is literally the GOAT. THE GOAT. Unreal for its time. A true king of a champion. I won't have a bad word spoken about it.

    Clearly, this is the best Gran Turismo game, Its a Gran Turismo game without all the fluff that can make GT4 a tedious experience, less license tests, no 24 hour endurance races that I just end up leaving the game on to play itself overnight just so I can get the 100%, the ai doesnt just hold its line and actually makes the game challenging, even though the rubber banding can be annoyingClearly, this is the best Gran Turismo game, Its a Gran Turismo game without all the fluff that can make GT4 a tedious experience, less license tests, no 24 hour endurance races that I just end up leaving the game on to play itself overnight just so I can get the 100%, the ai doesnt just hold its line and actually makes the game challenging, even though the rubber banding can be annoying in its own right.… Expand

    This game was a marvel of it's time. It was an instant classic and it still holds up incredibly good. Stop reading and go play it!

    This is the definitive racing game for the first PlayStation. I still come back to play this after first time playing it some odd 20 years ago and it still delivers.

    This game may be over 20 years old, but holds up to today's standards, and even smashes them by doing almost everything better than any racing game that came out since the 8th generation began. Its only shortcoming being the graphics, originating from the Playstation 1, it is obvious. But that's subjective. A first-time player might find it hard on the eyes, but for someone who's played itThis game may be over 20 years old, but holds up to today's standards, and even smashes them by doing almost everything better than any racing game that came out since the 8th generation began. Its only shortcoming being the graphics, originating from the Playstation 1, it is obvious. But that's subjective. A first-time player might find it hard on the eyes, but for someone who's played it for years, it's like coming back home.
    Gran Turismo 2 excels at everything else :
    - Its large car list, with a count of over 500 cars (counting some repeats, fair)
    - Its tuning potential, which can turn virtually any regular traffic car into a full race car, a game mechanic that has been replicated only a handful of times since.
    - Its extensive career.
    - Its challenging but fair difficulty, bringing actual close racing.
    - Its diversified track list, both on paved and dirt roads, with noted elevation changes.

    If you could only play one single game for the rest of your life, Gran Turismo 2 is one that is sure to keep you busy and entertained for a long while.    … Expand

    Gran Turismo 2 is the best PS1 racing game and probably the most important in the series.
    This game will convert you to Jazz and Japanese cars wether you like it or not.

    Good game, it has a great car list, great events, great tracks, if it wasn't rushed for the 1999 holiday then it could've been even better. but even then its great

    Aged like a fine wine.
    Improves on everything from GT1 with a insane amount of content for a ps1 game.
    10/10 soundtrack too, especially the PAL version

    Sauron's forces have laid siege to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in their efforts to eliminate the race of men. The once-great kingdom, watched over by a fading steward, has never been in more desperate need of its king. But can Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) answer the call of his heritage and become what he was born to be? In no small

    I am writing to you from the future, GT 7 has just been released and is crawling with a diesease called microtransactions. Gran Turismo is officially dead, long live GT 2.

    When it came out it was mind blowing how long the game was along with the amount of cars you can buy. This game was an amazing move forward in the racing genre.

    El mejor Gran Turismo de todos los tiempos. Muchos coches, coches épicos. Muchas carreras, sensación de velocidad estupenda, y entretenido a más no poder. Revolución total en la época junto a graficazos. Para mi el mejor videojuego de coches jamás hecho.

    This game was unbelievable. I played countless hours and stayed up many nights farming money for cars and stuff. Very memorable OST and amazing courses. I'm excited for GT7. I hope it brings some of that charm back which I didn't feel since GT5.

    Is the game a worthy purchase for GT veterans and racing newcomers alike? The answer is a 400-horsepower yes.

    The controls can seem downright impossible to master at first, but with some practice and patience you'll be ripping it up in no time.
