Gran Turismo 2

Gran Turismo 2 is a racing game for the Sony PlayStation and the sequel to Gran Turismo. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In Arcade Mode, the player can freely choose the vehicles they wish to use, and can enable damage. Gran Turismo Mode, however, 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, including rally tracks. Compared with the first game, the gameplay, physics and graphics are very similar. The major change is the vastly expanded number of cars, tracks and races in simulation mode. Players can also race events separately if they do not want to enter a whole tournament, and the player is no longer able to qualify for each race entered. The game was developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1999. It can be played alone or in split screen with a friend, and it offers both first person and third person views.
