The sheer breadth of content on display in this 5th generation game makes this game a miracle to behold, an accomplishment that has really not had an equivalent before or since. The game's looseness with prize cars and money also offers a flexibility in player agency that many other Racing games struggle with, especially in later GT games. While I often find older racing games struggle to age well due to innovations in Quality of Life design and outdated car lists, GT2's PSX aesthetic is the gaming equivalent of a nice bottle fine pinot noir, and the gameplay loop of acquiring, upgrading, and racing your growing collection of cars is better executed than even later titles in the same series. A must play for auto enthusiasts and retro gamers.

As somebody who never played the pre-PS3 GT games, I think this game holds up quite well. As long as the controls feels responsive, and the car physics feels right, you can enjoy any racing game no matter how old it is. But playing this does make me want to boot up GT7 instead sometimes. It's like I'm being a sim racer beginner all over again, struggling to keep my car in control because I can't see what's ahead and I pressed the directional buttons way too long. I never got truly comfortable with the driving, and I don't think I ever will. We're so spoiled with how accurate the analog controls are in the newer games.

The simulation mode is structured pretty well, with horsepower limitations for each cup/tourney making you want to buy multiple cars and tune them accordingly for different requirements. The game doesn't just give you a lot of cash too quickly, which I do appreciate. And obviously the driving license tests are as fun as ever, wouldn't be a GT game without them. But there's some quality of life stuff that I need to enjoy it more, particularly in the process of buying and tuning cars.

Lastly, I gotta say it's a treat seeing all the 80s-90s cars here. That period of time is my absolute favorite in terms of car design and culture. It pays off for all the hassle.

Eu nunca tinha jogado um Gran Turismo, ná época do Playstation sempre ouvia falar sobre esse jogo mas nunca tive a sorte de ter uma cópia em mãos, hoje no auge dos meus 23 anos resolvei dá uma chance, é cara... como eu não me arrependo.

Claramente você percebe o quanto esse jogo estava à frente dos seus contemporâneos, mesmo com gráficos os limitados do ps1, consegue passar uma sensação de velocidade incrível, as corridas são muito divertidas e a dificuldade é equilibrada tanto para quem já tem experiência quanto para novos jogadores.

A atenção para os detalhes é impressionante, além de uma vasta opção de carros para escolher, você consegue sentir na prática cada minima alteração que você faz no carro.

Em pontos negativos, eu só teria para destacar os menus que são "rígidos e travados" a navegabilidade é bem ruim e as telas de Loading são demoradas
