It is much better than GRAN TURISMO or other car game like TEST DRIVE 6, AUTOBAHN RASER II or NEED FOR SPEED 4: HIGH STAKES. GRAN TURISMO 2 lets you experience real driving experience. Why I say that is because of the seamless graphic, let you be able to tune you cars with more than 30 kinds of parts(which seems to give you headache) and about 600 cars to choose from. /-----------------------------------\ |DATA CHART | ------------------------------------- |TIME TO COMPLETE|50+ hours | -----------------|------------------- |CHALLENGE |Moderate | -----------------|------------------- |BEST CAR |TVR Speed-12 | -----------------|------------------- |WORST CAR |Daihatsu Midget II| -----------------|------------------- |SYSTEM| |Playstation | -----------------|------------------- |PUBLISHER| |SCEA | -----------------|------------------- |DEVELOPER |Polyphony Digital | \-----------------------------------/ -------------- 2.1 Techniques -------------- 1. Spinout prevention The faster you go the more traction is loss and likehood to spinout increases, to negate this not only you will need to buy better parts but also know how adjust those very same parts to take full advantage of them. Setting your ride height lower and stiffening up the spring/ damperning rates will help. The brakes balance controller help tremendously by setting your front brakes to be much stiffer than your rear brakes(preventing your car from getting 'loose'in the turns). 2. Toying with AI GRAN TURISMO 2 computer driver are really so good that you can use them to help you to finish the game.You can foul their game plan using cheap tactics like (1)blocking them during the last lap of the race or (2)using them as cushion when taking turns too fast. It seems cheap, but it works and works well. The computer will always follow the optimal path through any given turn, so if you know where they are going, you block them out or smash into them. 3. Basic corncering Just as each car has it's own handling style, each turn has it's own applied techniques. You will want to take standard turns slow, using early brakings and a the feathered throttle to get to most speed while exiting the turn. Hairpins and chicanes should be taken with extreme caution (especially on Laguna Seca) and often require slowing to a near halt just to exit the turn alive. I have seen too many gamers go full- stream and crash, only to do this on the very next lap. The key is to always follow the computer cars throught the turn first. That way, you will know where to gauge your entry and exit speed for any given turn. ------------------------- 2.2 Buying your first car ------------------------- I am sure that you have popped in the disc and booted up a new game and know that you have just a measly 10K to buy your first car(not enough to buy Lotus Esprit V8SE which you are dreaming for) fear not This FAQ will guide and help you to fulfil your dream. After playing, Mitsubishi FTO '94 seems to be the best choice for a first car.
