Gran Turismo has all anyone needs in a driving sim. Realistic physics besides the no damage thing, good frame rate, realistic sounds. But anyone buying this expecting to play a game like Burnout this isn't for you. Not that is a bad thing. There are some cars that weren't in

Graphically, Gran Turismo 2 does not look much different from Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo set new graphical standards for the PlayStation but it does not appear as if the developers wanted to do the same with the sequel. Perhaps they reached the system's limits or their own. In any case, tracks do include more background details such as more advertisements, trees, grandstands, and just about everything else. They do come at a price though, as pop-up does occur somewhat frequently and seams can be seen in some of the backgrounds. None of the glitches impact gameplay but they are noticeable.

With authentic cars, courses, and car physics, Gran Turismo™ 4 adds an even more realistic racing simulation to the series. The characteristics of each car take into account weight, speed, friction, and more to deliver realistic handling. Test-drive new vehicles in courses located in various sites, such as Nurburgring Nordschleife, New York City, the Grand Canyon, and Tsukuba Circuit. Along with Career mode, Gran Turismo™ 4 highlights the new GT Photo mode.

Gran Turismo 2 is fundamentally based on the racing game genre. The player must maneuver an automobile to compete against artificially intelligent drivers on various race tracks. The game uses two different modes: arcade and simulation. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose the courses and vehicles they wish to use. However, the simulation mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks.
