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 While I often find older racing games struggle to age well due to innovations in Quality of Life design and outdated car lists, GT2's PSX aesthetic is the gaming equivalent of a nice bottle fine pinot noir, and the gameplay loop of acquiring, upgrading, and racing your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.
