I. INTRODUCTION
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Some may say that Gran Turismo was the greatest racing game ever created, and I
_used_ to agree with them. But now, a new king has arrived--Gran Turismo 2. I
got the game for Christmas, and I've been playing it NON-STOP. It's head and
shoulders above it's predecessor, and is the greatest racing game ever created.
It brings a tear to my eye whenever I remotley THINK about it. Well, maybe not,
but it is fantastic. Actually, it's simply INCREDIBLE.
Here's a quote from a review of GT2 in EGM #127, by John Davison that sums it
all up:
"Can we give a game an 11?"
By the way, GT 2 received all 10's from the Review Crew. A perfect score. A
platinum award. The only other games that have recieved this prestigious award
have been Metal Gear Solid, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Chrono Trigger, and Soul
Calibur. It's that good.
-----------------------------------
Here's my review of Gran Turismo 2:
-----------------------------------
You wanna know somethin'? After I beat the first Gran Turismo, I never, EVER,
thought that there would be a racing game that would ever top it. At first I
thought that R4 might be the one, but alas, it was just an arcade racer, and,
while insanely fun, didn't quite live up to the Gran Turismo name and dynasty.
Well, after playing Gran Turismo 2 for well over 80 hours total, I'd have to
say
that Gran Turismo is the racing game of the millenium, and has left the
original
GT in it's dust. Let's break GT2 down into the most important aspects of a
game,
shall we?
-----------------
GRAPHICS - 9/10:
-----------------
The visuals in GT 2 are outstanding to say the least. Forget what you may have
heard from others who tell you "How much better looking GT1 was." Well this is
B.S. Even though there wasn't a substantial leap in graphics, GT2 is still the
best looking racing game on the market...well, except for maybe R4. :) And
despite what you may have heard, I have yet to experience ANY slowdown
whatsoever.
-----------------
SOUND - 10/10
-----------------
The sound effects in GT2 are still as amazing as ever. If you thought that the
car sounds from GT1 couldn't get any better, well, you were wrong. My only
complaint is that many of the cars sound alike, but that really doesn't matter
much, since you get so caught up in the AMAZING gameplay.
The soundtrack for GT2 is equally amazing. But, awesome as it is, I'd give the
soundtrack a 8/10, mainly because the game only plays about four different
songs
while racing, and they do get repetitive after a while.
-----------------
GAMEPLAY - 10/10
-----------------
Man this game is sweet! It plays even better than GT1, if you can beleive it.
Every single one of the cars in the game handle differently, and have their own
unique Pros and Cons. FR cars take turns better than the other cars, but they
tend to over-steer. 4WD cars are good overall, while FF cars tend to under-
steer, and so on.
The sheer depth of GT2 is unparralled. With over 500 cars, at least 40 hours of
gameplay (trust me on this one), AND rally racing, this baby will keep you
playing for weeks on end, and then some. I guarentee that I'll still be playing
this sucker a year from now.
-------------------
CONTROL - 10/10
-------------------
Manuvering the vehicles in GT2 is as easy as ever, and since they handle
realistically, there's plenty of variety within these two discs. Using the
Dual-
Shock is the best way to go, and there is NO alternative that will allow you
such precision on the track. Some of my gripes are that some of the FR cars
spin
out too easily *cough, Viper, cough*, and it's irritating, but it's not a
control issue; it's just how the game plays: Well.
------------------
REPLAY - 10/10
------------------
Like I said earlier in the review, I GUARENTEE I'll be playing GT2 a year from
now, and I mean it. After playing for over 80 hours, I'm only 21 % done with
the
game. Yep, I'll take a while...
------------------
OVERALL - 10/10
------------------
This is the greatest racing game of all time, and rightfully so. It's the
equivilant to the Autobahn; Huge, fast, and the king of the road(s).
Buy it.
