What's wrong with GT2? It offered so much improvement over the original (in my opinion).Originally posted by dr_oakdale
I haven't played GT3 yet, though it looks amazing. But then again, so did GT2 (at the time), and it was a steaming pile! Don't get me started on all the little things that piss me off about GT2. Ooh. Anyway, Gran Turismo is still, in my mind, the best game of the two I've played. Maybe when I've got more time, I'll rant on why I hate GT2 so friggin' much.

Well, OK, that's your opinion and I'm not going to argue with you, but I hardly think those points should keep you from enjoying the second-best racing game ever made.Originally posted by dr_oakdale
Hoo kay, here we go. Sure, there is an impressive number of cars on GT2. For me, I found that there were actually FEWER cars that were worth racing with in GT2 than in GT1. (Yeah, I said it.) Don't get me wrong, messing around in that Diahatsu truck or the Mini is pretty fun, but for mebbe five minutes. As for the new tracks, only two or three were both original in their design and fun to race on. Seattle was good, so was Laguna Seca, Rome MAYBE. Perhaps the thing about the new tracks that chapped my butt is the long straights punctuated by 90 degree turns or greater. I know this points to a different, perhaps more realistic driving style, but I don't prefer it. Personal choice. I'm no Cruisin' USA fan, but at the same time, I like to keep the spedometer over 60, know what I'm saying? Also, the little things bother me. The details that Polyphony got sloppy on. Can't get 100%. No drag racing TRACKS, but the useless cars were left in. The game's inability to save lap times (lap times, or was it something else? Please correct me.). Stuff like that is inexcusable given the attention-to-detail nature of the GT series.
Ahhh. Got everything off my chest.

LOL, I don't think I even want to get you started on that!Originally posted by dr_oakdale
Hehe, good point. I was playing RR4 today, and the only thing I could think was, "Man, I know GT2 sucks, but at least it beats this."
