Game Description
Gran Turismo 2 is a landmark in racing simulation, setting a new gold standard for realism, depth, and car culture on the original PlayStation. Developed by Polyphony Digital, this sequel expanded every element that made the original a breakout hit—offering a jaw-dropping 600+ vehicles from over 30 manufacturers and nearly 30 meticulously recreated tracks from around the world. Whether you're burning rubber through tight city circuits or dominating mountain drift routes, the level of detail in each vehicle's handling, physics, and performance makes every race feel like the real thing.
Split into two separate discs—*Arcade Mode* and *Simulation Mode*—Gran Turismo 2 gives players the freedom to enjoy fast-paced pick-up races or dive deep into the career-style progression of Simulation Mode, where you’ll earn licenses, buy used cars, and climb the competitive ranks of global motorsport. The game rewards precision and strategy, making every win feel earned and every upgrade matter.
Visually refined for the PS1, the game pushes the console to its limit with enhanced car models and track textures. But what truly made GT2 a masterpiece was its love letter approach to automobile history—showcasing everything from rally legends and rare imports to American muscle and Japanese tuners.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Gran Turismo 2 was one of the most ambitious racing games ever released on a home console, and it’s still praised today for its sheer volume of content. Despite being limited by PS1 hardware, Polyphony Digital managed to fit an unprecedented number of cars—some of which have never appeared in a video game before or since. The game includes quirky deep cuts like the Ford Ka and classic muscle cars alongside rally legends like the Lancia Delta Integrale.
In Japan, the game had multiple regional editions due to licensing differences. GT2 also marked the debut of rally racing in the Gran Turismo series, laying the foundation for future installments. Even more impressive: many fans still consider the game's Simulation Mode one of the best in the franchise, praising its balance of realism and accessibility. It was also among the top-selling PS1 games of all time, moving nearly 10 million copies worldwide.
