Gran Turismo 2 is Great!

Dear Future Gamer

Gotta agree with the review of GT2 (FG64). It's pretty good, but I just wish they hadn't screwed up the menu system - it's not the most intuitive one ever. Anyway, with only the dirt racing letting the side down (I can't stop trying to slide the things around like in Colin McRae), it's well worthy of a score in the 90s. That bloody corkscrew chicane on Laguna Seca, eh? Tchoh. And how many cars?

The licences are a bit easy (well, the bronze awards), right up to the point where you discover the special licence that's a bit more up to the same standard as the old International A licence on GT.

As one of the few people I know to have had the patience to do the original one myself and not nick it from a mate's memory card, I'm looking forwards to having a bash at that over the next week. Driving game heaven. Now if only they could bring one out like that on the Dreamcast that actually plays well on the pad - a bit of an impossibility, but you never know.

FG: Glad you agree with us, Mike. Far too many people have been tempted to jump on the backlash bandwagon with GT2 because it was so highly anticipated, and we Brits do have a tendency to build something up for the sheer perverted pleasure of knocking it down again.
