The sheer breadth of content on display in this 5th generation game makes this game a miracle to behold, an accomplishment that has really not had an equivalent before or since. The game's looseness with prize cars and money also offers a flexibility in player agency that many other Racing games struggle with, especially in later GT games. While I often find older racing games struggle to age well due to innovations in Quality of Life design and outdated car lists, GT2's PSX aesthetic is the gaming equivalent of a nice bottle of fine pinot noir, and the gameplay loop of acquiring, upgrading, and racing your growing collection of cars is better executed than even later titles in the same series. A must play for auto enthusiasts and retro gamers.
