Gran Turismo 2

Polyphony Digital created Gran Turismo 2 and Sony Computer Entertainment released it in 1999. Gran Turismo 2 builds on the success of its predecessor by allowing players to compete against the computer across various race tracks in either Arcade Mode or Simulation Mode. Arcade mode allows players to use any vehicle they want and includes damage. To unlock new courses in simulation mode, players must earn "driver's licenses", pay for cars, and win trophies.

The gameplay, physics, and graphics are all very similar to Gran Turismo: the only real noticeable difference in vehicle dynamics was the brakes, which became much less likely to lock up and cause the vehicle to oversteer. The most significant changes are the vastly increased number of cars, tracks, and races in simulation mode. Other differences include the player's ability to race events separately if they do not wish to compete in the entire tournament. The player can no longer "qualify" for every race entered. The game includes nearly 650 cars and 27 racing tracks, including rally-style tracks if that's your thing. GT2 was well received by critics and sold over 3.96 million copies in North America and 3.68 million in Europe by April 2008, becoming one of Sony’s “Greatest Hits games”.
