    This game is hands down the best game ever. The graphics, handling, and upgrades on every car from the '66 Shelby mustand to the Suzuki Escudo are so realistic, true to life, and fun to play. This game is a must have for everyone.

    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 was one of the most complete racing games of all time. It came with a multitude of cars and tracks, if only racing games now could live up to this standard, I wish they would just remake this game with better graphics because it is damn near perfect.

    This was the best racing game on PlayStation 1. Also, possibly the best game of PS1 in general. You are a driver who participates in races to buy new cars, install upgrades on cars.

Also, possibly the best game of PS1 in general. You are a driver who participates in races to buy new cars, install upgrades on cars. It takes many dozens if not hundreds of races until you can buy the best car in the game. However, despite the modest number of race tracks (about a dozen), the races don't feel too repetitive because they feel different at different speeds (in different car classes), sometimes they are reversed, or some parts of the track are different, and there are also "endurance" races where your tires wear out and you run 25+ laps. The game is overall pretty hard and the physics of the cars feels realistic. Often if just one wheel touches dirt, the whole car may start spinning and run off the track. Even to start the races, the game requires you to pass 30 training levels ("licences") which teach you to manage sharp turns at high speed and such. This sets the game far apart from the more casual/arcade Need for Speed series. Gran Turismo is demanding to your skill, and you get a feeling of accomplishment when you win races, as they are always hard wins.… Expand

    Definitive the best car game you can get on Playstation 1.

    Excellent car sounds, interesting licences, unforgetable music, great performance system, many cool cars to choose, and exciting courses. A really memorable game!

    My favourite PS1 Racing game without doubt, because there are ton of interesting cars, nice courses, fun career mode and awesome soundtrack! Nostalgic graphics, and challenging in a fun way. You can even tune your car like you wish, and obatin nice prizes and cars when racing to the 1st place.

    Ton of fun, ton of good memories, that's what i call a real game!

    En todos los apartados es un 10.
    Gráficamente está muy por encima de sus rivales contemporáneos [Simuladores de carreras] (F1 Challenge 99-02, NASCAR Racing).
    El gameplay es de lo mejor. Ninguno de los autos se manejan de igual manera, además q el sacar las "licencias" es un tutorial bastante único y muy bien implementado.
    La duración del juego es bastante larga, fácilmente unas 40 horas.
    Modos de juegos bastante variados. Principalmente gracias a sus 2 discos (Arcade Mode, Simulator Mode).
    Recomendaría empezar por el "Simulator Mode" si jugaras en solitario, para así sacar la o las primeras licencias y así comprar tu primer coche y competir en las primeras competiciones. Contando así con desbloqueos en el disco paralelo (Arcade Mode).
    Si deseas jugar de manera casual una carrera sin parámetros más definidos el disco "Arcade Mode" será muy placentero. O si deseas jugar con un amigo también será muy disfrutable.
    Eso sí, tal como el nombre de cada disco lo dice el "Arcade Mode" será una experiencia menos realista y más apegado a un modo "arcade". El "Simulator Mode" más apegado a la experiencia de simulación de un piloto el cual va cada ves subiendo de categoría (la experiencia clásica en la saga Gran Turismo).
    Para culminar. Este Gran Turismo 2 es sin duda alguna uno de los mejores videojuegos en el segmento del automóvilismo si no que el mejor. Un videojuego imprescindible para los amantes del motor e incluso para los amantes de la PlayStation 1. Videojuego histórico y un gran recomendado.
    Gracias por leer.

    My childhood passion for cars in video games started here. NFS Porsche Unleashed and F1 2000 were other classics that defined my love for Motorsport. But no other racing game came close to the grandeur and magic and passion gran turismo 2 implemented.

    Классика, лучший гоночный симулятор всех времен и народов. Возможности на то время были немыслимы. Игра произвела революции в жанре симуляторов гонок. Эххх...были времена! 10/10

    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.

    If I had to play one game for the rest of my life, this would be it. Despite the bugs, I absolutely love it. Still my favourite game from the entire franchise.

    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.

    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.

    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.
