- Part 2 of GT2 review. Classic Game Room HD reviews GRAN TURISMO 2 from Polyphony Digital for the Sony Playstation 1 video game console. Only CGRHD has the audacity to release a "Part 2" 9 years after we released the first review in 1999, but we did it. Take that common sense! GT2 is a classic video game that needs to be revisited. Released in 1999, Gran Turismo 2 set the standard for what an amazing driving video game and racing simulator should be. Hundreds of cars, dozens of tracks, CGRHD takes a spin on our favorite track from any GT game, GRINDELWALD! This mountain track, set in Switzerland, is an incredible, winding track that takes some skill, braking, powersliding and a fast car to defeat. Drift around corners and shoot off through this Swiss Alps in Gran Turismo 2, the ULTIMATE driving simulator. Graphically the game hasn't aged well, but it has great tracks, gameplay and a huge collection of cars from manufacturers like RUF and VECTOR. This is a unique Classic Game Room review because it is a part 2 that comes back in a different decade, and a different millennium. Revisit and enjoy the ultimate driving game on the PS1, Gran Turismo 2! Somebody tell Polyphony Digital to put Grindelwald into Gran Turismo 5, the full version! We want Grindelwald in GT5! NOW NOW NOW! Gt2 on PSone. Hype!
Glad this vid wasn't given a copyright strike with GT2s BGM, which is a big part of the game.
Now this is 8 years ago, damn.
I think, graphically, it really hasn't aged too badly. The only problem is that if you run it on an emulator that tries to render it at higher resolutions, the image looks somewhat distorted.
+ManWithBeard1990 I know! The graphics have aged very well, I don't know why Mark said they didn't! Heck! I play GT2 now and I think the graphics look amazing!
Playing it on CRT tv and it looks good enough.
I don't know why Mark said the graphics in GT2 haven't aged well! They have most certainly aged well! They look amazing!
I am currently playing through Gran Turismo 2 and I have to say that I love the way the cars bounce in the turns.. I don't know why though...
Oh man that brings back memories.. glad I found these GT1, 2, and 3 review vids. I spent more time playing these games than most people could comprehend.I hope GT5 will be as fun. I know it'll be way better, just hope it's as addicting and "fun" overall...
Back when Rob Zombie Dragula was in every racing game.
yooo do you have anymore tips? like what car should i use for every single race in the game? im trying to beat it.
Oooooh Grindelwald...... sorely missed... I just hope with these '20 locations' that the Eiger Nordwand is joined by this classic...
Awesome video review, thanks for putting this online...
Mark! im with you on this,this is the GREATEST track in gran turismo history and probably the best gran turismo in the series :)
I used to have a copy of this game, I loved playing it, and I had almost completed it when the cheap memory card died. This was one of my least favourite tracks until I got the hang of it. Another good review!
This is also my most favorite track in the series, can't believe they never put it in another game. Most of the new courses they made for this game were pretty awesome. I really enjoyed Rome, Rome Night, and Seattle.
This is my favorite game on any Sony console. Well made video man!
GT2 was my first game ever. I was confused at first, for getting 2 discs. then i realized i had to complete the disc 2 to unlock stuff on disc 1.
thumbs up if this game took over my memory card lol
I actually somehow got my hands on this game after watching these reviews from some pretty unknown game store just month back, and I'm not dissapointed!
I didn't like this game much when I was younger, but now when I play this game, It's just plain awesomeness!
Your channel rocks Mark, you're pure old skool, gaming cartidge dust, hardcore to your heart from the start.
To have lived and enjoy videogames since space invaders has been and will continue to be a great privelage and like a thousand acid trips in so many ways, and you pay homage to the pro's who made the best shit. Only one thing....
You've never given due props to the castlevania series, it's the best ever. Super CastleVania IV is a masterpiece on snes, a work of art. Needs a re-view! :)
GT2 is still my fav of all the series. Grindelwald was not one of my faves for sure. we kinda hated it and always called it "grind the wall" instead of grindelwald... I wish they would re-hash GT2 as is and only bump/remaster the graphics I would buy it.
+MET-AL MIKE Gran Turismo 2 is my favorite racing game ever!
'Let's make a part 2, nearly nine years later...'
Amateur really compared to Gaben.
i spent so much time playing this game.completed even all the endurance races and won every single race
suzuki escudo was the beast in this game
I'm not that big of a fan of Grindelwald, but I do love the hell out of this game here. Gran Turismo 2 #1 A-Spec next and then 1 and newer GT games.
beautiful memories,i was 3 years old when i played this first time,i still can remember my favourite car the toyota gt-one,and my little blue suzuki,i forgot the model but i think it was a van wich i tuned to 553hp
Oh, that's it, that is why I loved this track so much too, it has an uphill section, which looks like I'm doing hillclimb racing, which, although very popular in europe, has been left out of gran turismo in favor of the boringness of driving in circles!
I wish I still had my old Grand Turismo *3* game and a PS2! But I'm still so happy I still have a PS1 and Grand Turismo 2.
I was in uni when this came out and got after quitting my studies, I was bored silly. I got a bag of weed and holed up for a month just playing this....the graphics were amazing to me in the first game, and here they just polished it. I now play it on my psp and it's just the boss of games, ultra condensed pure gaming, on sim mode handling.
I love Gran Turismo, it's a pure game, created by a bunch of guys so clever they've nurtured a real pro driver and and created their own actual race cars.
It's too bad Polyphony didn't have enough breadth of operations to also continue the Omega Boost title especially into the graphics upgrades analogous between PS1's Gran Turismo 2 to PS2 era Gran Turismo 3 / 4 output... I believe they would have had another potential genre-topper .
what "robot" games do u have cause theres this game where every thing is kinda looks like you a polygon and you fight these robot things that are like one color , green , orange, red, and theres this electric fence thats like blue and if u go through it u die....i thought it was "Armoured core" but i think its not...im prettie sure it was for ps1. any ideas? can u help me? THANKS
That suspension twitching Gran Turismo had, combined with the hyper realistic vibration the Dual Shock had, is unsurpassed probably even today. The force feedback on Forza sucks so bad...
thx for makin this video..this is the best game in history
Man this brings back memories.. My favorite car was an alfa romeo touring car, it was a beast :D
So you're telling me there was a time when Gran Turismo games had great music? Granted I've only played GT5 and recently bought GT4 but haven't tried it yet but I just figured from the style/genre of GT5 that they'd all suck but that couldn't have been a better choice for a game for a change. I'm going to have to pick up all the older versions.
So... 4 years later, have you played the older Gran Turismo games, and did you like them?
i remember when i got this for xmas! I love GT to this day. And will shell out 400 just to play gt5
Grindelwald, SS11(GT3 Version), Red Rock Valley Speedway, Tahiti Maze, Grand Valley Speedway, Trial Mountain, Deep Forest Raceway were my fave tracks
Haha i'm from switzerland. And yes Grindelwald actually exists. Its about in the mittle of switzerland and pretty high up in the mountains, you can go skiing and snowboarding there or mountainclimbing in summer and evidentally DRIVE CARS! I wonder how the creators of this game came up with that track^^
what`s the name of the song playing at around 1:24?
I still play this a little bit!! Its still pretty realistic, except for the graphics and perhaps the speed of the cars. !
That RUF sounds just like the Toyota GT-One
what was the first song in the first race?
Someone needs to tell me, does this game still sell, and where? I WANT THIS GAME!
My favorite car of gt2 was the Suzuki Escudo! I even put street tires on it and never came close to loosing a race
justensr harmon I loved the 3000gt aka "black death"
Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get this game in Tacoma Washington?
Part 2 finally came out?
I bought this game for like $5 5 months ago, and still play it alot.
TVR Cerbera LM... so much fun with this car!
im going to clean the dust from my PSone and play this game again :D still have my save with almost all game completed and plenty of cool cars in the garage
man i wish i was born like 5 years earlier. but, man i just missed this stuff. 1999. >.>
Gt1-2 were way ahead of their times, Gt 3-4 were with the times.. And well, Gt5 has shown that Polyphony if falling behind the times a bit.. I still love me some Gt5!, tearing the green hell up in Gt5 is awesome!!! But the constant updates were quite necessary to at least bring it up to date.
I don't really like racing games, but I like GT2's soundtrack.
My Gran Turismo/simulation mode disc for this game broke in 2001... I havn't played GT2 since, not once!!!
I agree with Alex, bring me the PSN download!!!
Although we will miss out on one of the defining features of this game... The actual CD has a scratch and sniff rubber burning thingy on it, how cool is that!!! No other game thought of that. At least not that i know of.
so your the one in the white aND blue pixel?
where did you work back then?
It's cool how this track is only a few minutes away from the Eiger Nordwand track in GT5 in real life.
this is by far one of the best track on the game along wit red rock valley and laguna seca raceway. to bad there was no nos
GT 2 and Destruction Derby 2 was the best PSX games :)
Yamauchi Kazunori sure does know how to make an awesome game.
I always enjoyed the first game a lot more. The sequel felt like they broke the controls in order to cram in more cars to hit a publishing deadline. Sure, it's a bit more balanced in some respects than the first, but all of the cars felt about the same in GT2. A huge degree of fun-factor and replayability was removed and replaced with tedium.
Not to mention, I am almost certain that the graphics (lower res in favor of more objects) and sounds took a step back as well.
What was amazing in this game is the high speed racing. I just can't explain it, but when you're going fast you actually feel like you're GOING FAST. Unlike the new Gran Turismo's, I'm always like, 200 mph? Meh, don't feel it.
best game ever! please make more reviews
Wow, this trakc was soooo difficult for me! Even if I had a superior car, I couldn't win there. One day I was in a championship or any important race for me, and the last race I needed to do was there. "Ok, I need to learn how to race here!" and this was what I did. Now it's a piece of cake! nice track though.
The greatest thing about Gran Turismo 2, was that it had Mercedes Benz, I was thrilled, when I was 8!!!
apparently the Bleemcast Emulator on Dreamcast makes the same game twice the resolution and with anti aliasing. Amazing but true. Apparently there's a stand alone download but to game save you need the retail version of the emulator, Bleemcast. Apparently it runs sweet, and probably a unique thing in that it looks better than the original.
This is great. Thank you..
Whats the name of the song in 1:10 ???
man, got some nice drifting skils there
Sum great cars u have there. I'm playing the game myself now and I have filled my garage with only Unique or Rare cars... Cool rewiev tho 5/5
não tem a parte 1 meu velho???
i remember playing this game when i was about 7-10 and my main goal in the game was to buy the dodge viper
I LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS GAME! I WILL NEVER GIVE IT AWAY AND LOVE AND TAKE CARE OF IT 4EVER!!
Ah, Grindelwald...; this was my test track for tuning and buying new cars...this BETTER be brought back in GT5!! :D
I miss the excitement I had seeing those little dots on the track layout way behind me...I just miss everything...
I love the ruf sound in gt3
This game gave me lots of amazing sundays.
i really love this game
is this song in the game?
Best Game Ever. Period.
Best GT2 track.
I love Grindewald, reminds me Sega Rally for some reason : )
To me it feels like something out of Screamer, or an early Need For Speed game.
how the hell did you make your Ruff CTR 2 SPORT like a Juragur
Wasnt this the version that couldnt be 100% completed due to a bug?
1:05 saleen sr by far my favorite track
Idk I havent played this game in like 5 years. All I can say is try hard to beat the tounaments and stuff, and whenever you save up enough, buy the escudo. I think it costs about 500k credits. Not too awfully hard to obtain.
@FriendlyCroock No, just that the graphics have not aged well since its a PS1 game. Its still great looking in its time, but compared to some of the games of today, its nothing compared. I love this game, but I lost my memory card and my game... D:
This Game Has Really Good Graphics for ps1. and new one on psp its really awesome
i also play sometimes gt 2 just for the tracks like this one oder red rock valley
@BillyCauseyjr You'd expect them to be on all the PlayStation Stores now that GT5 is released... Sony Sony Sony...
The music in GT2 was probably best in the whole series.
It's interesting that the cars still sound the same in GT5
The Gran Turismo series is possibly the greatest racing game series of all time because what other racing game single handedly started the gray import market for north america? What other racing game introduced you to such cars as the Nissan Skyline or the Lancer evo or even the nissan Stagea? If it wasn't for this game, the Nissan GT-R would not have succeeded in north america like it did, hell maybe if it weren't for this game the Nissan Gt-R would have simply cessed to exist.
I wish I could get back my PS1 with it's memory card and all my cars. Just thinking about how far I went in the game, it's just sad.
My Favorite Gran Turismo Games Was:
Gran Turismo 1, Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo 4
I want GT6 to be not an evolution of GT5, but a mixture of all Gran Turismos (All cars, all tracks, all events, etc.).
thank you.
i still play it!!
AGH! GT5Prologue is a Prologue of 5! Stop wondering why they didn't include loads of old tracks!
well it was my "very" first Gran Turismo, so it's my favourite.
i'm so glad this works on ps3, or else i couldn't play this AMAZING game
we should push for this game to come out in the psn store
I have to find a copy of GT2 with the case and everything, right now I only have the Arcade disc and basically it's the only one of the GT series that I don't have
isnt gran turismo 6 out?
Gran turismo 5 was a bit of a let down though. All i played was Gran turismo from 2 to 4. Gt5 was good but got boring fast, yeah i beat the game pretty fast lol. Forza 4 has been keeping me busy lately.
No, I live in Finland. It wasn't a brand name shop, I would have mentioned that if I would live in United States.
