Bad:
Way too many button pushes to cancel the endless replays.
Worse:
Cars do not properly respond to throttle inputs. Sure they speed up and slow down, but sideways drift cannot be initiated to slide the car to the proper line around a corner. Real racing involves pointing the car at the curb then using the gas pedal to just force the car out from the curb. Throttle input with this game actually does the opposite, and tightens the corner. Drifting wide in real car? just lift the throttle a little and car comes closer to the apex. Not so here, drifts are impossible to stop without the brake pedal.
Average racing game

This game is not as fun as Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. Tokyo is more fun and it's very addictive. I strongly recommend Tokyo.
Whats wrong with this, i'll tell you whats wrong!!!

There are three things that wrong. I just got my ps2 a couple of weeks ago and this game sucks, so does driv3r. 1st thing thats wrong is that there is no damage, the producers didn't want damage to there speed machines, 2nd thing, the headlights don't work, i mean they do look tight in all but the street light do all the work, 3rd thing, DO NOT SELL YOUR CAR, I REPEAT DO NOT SELL YOUR CAR. I sold my car and i tuned it up, got it a new engine, rims, braked muffler, all of that, and all the stuff i put onto it i thought it would be a lot of money, like 14,000 or 18,000. Then i was so dumb i sold it and it was only worth 8,000 when i got done, now i don't have a car. But the graphics are phenominal and the way you handle each car, each car has a different kind of driving sequence, its like your really driving. The cars are great, has a great variety of cars from usa, france, italy, germany etc. My favorite is the nissan. So if you get this game and you like damage and the lights, wrong game buddy. I am also 13.
It's ok

Gran Turismo!!I have waited for this game for two years and never understood why people were giving a four-star rating, well I bought the game today and now I understand,this game does have great graphics,but the cars look cartoonish,Almost Nintendo like, but not quite that bad!!!I love to Race, My motto is Eat Race Die!!And Ive always and still will be a fan of this game!!But I have to say Gran Turismo 2 throws some serious comp with Part 3,My wife thinks part 2 is better,but for 49.95 Ihave to tell her 3 is better so shes not so upset!For some reason 3 looks slower,the cars dont look as fast,in the replay mode and thats really bad!!Cuz the feel of the speed needs to be there!!Hopefully when I get the Faster cars this will be put to rest!!
overrated

Gran Turismo was truly something phenomenal when it began on the original Playstation. Now, on the Playstation 2, I think it's time to end the Gran Turismo series. The game isn't BAD at all. It's just ordinary racing.
I think too much emphasis was put on realism and not enough on simply having fun. Every car looks spectacular but they all feel exactly the same. I find myself daydreaming while racing because, honestly, looking at good graphics all the time can only be interesting until the next updated racing title comes out, and then all eyes are focused on THAT game.
I think I know why so many people are selling Gran Turismo for such a cheap price. It's average.
The best racing game!

Gran turismo 1 & 2 for the ps1 were just stunning, just imagine the ps2 version its going to be fantastic. The new I link is great because up to 8 players could play. I cant wait to buy this game and just see the great cars & graphics. I just cant wait!
TERRIBLE

THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER MADE. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT. GET MIDNIGHT CLUB OR TOKYO EXTREME RACER ZERO.
THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER!!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TH DAY TO COME. THE DAY THAT GRAN TURISMO 3 A-SPEC COMES OUT. I HAVE PLAYED THE DEMO MILLIONS OF TIMES TO SHARE THAT THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. AND THE PRESSURE SENSITIVE CONTROLS NOW THAT IS REALLY SOPHISTICATED. THAE CARS LOOK SO REAL. IT'S NOT LIKE THE SORT OF ANIMATED ONES LIKE ON THE PLAYSTATION CONSOLES. THIS IS THE REAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
overrated game

this game is boring and overrated. the controls are too difficult to manuver and after playing for 2 months i still could not handle the car properly. don't waste your money on this. wait till gt4 comes out later this year and hopefully the controls will handle better.
