Rarely does a game come out with as many eagerly awaiting fans as Gran Turismo 2, the sequel to the best racing game of all time. How do you follow greatness? You add to it, without messing with the original recipe, is Sony’s answer. Yes, GT2 has tons of cars and tracks, MANY more races to race, and more options to put in your cars. That should be enough, right? After all, the game is the sequal to the best ever, right? Well… Gran Turismo scores low because of some fatal flaws that were either oversights or the result of the game being shipped out in a rush to get it to the Christmas shoppers. There are a multitude of flaws and glitches, including a vicious bug that can wipe your hard-earned garage clean, the inability to save track records in simulation mode, the inability to score 100% in the game progress screen, and the inaccuracy of the statistics (there are times when you’ll purchase a car that says it’s supposed to have 240 hp, only to find after you bought it that it only has 147). As a complete game, GT2 doesn’t do it for me. I’d rather have a racer that was complete and bug-free, than Gran Turismo 2. It’s not to say that it’s a bad game… it just could have been so much better, and doesn’t do justice to the name of Gran Turismo.
