Ok, so i am seriously thinking about gettin Gran Turismo 2 for Christmas. But, GT2 is nortorius for having some of the worst bugs in the Gran Turismo series. Lets run down the bugs that concern me the most.

*I used an old guide from IGN to write and copy the folowing, if anyone cares.*

• THERE'S A BUG THAT DELETES YOUR GARAGE

Yes, it's true -- there's a bug in GT2 that deletes your entire car collection. It seems to have happened to a large number of GT2 fans, judging by the amount of mail we've had about it -- and it must be said that we think it's an absolutely appalling bug.

It occurs when you're racing on the Test Track, selected through the Machine Test menu. Once you've raced and saved eight top speed records, the ninth save will entirely delete your garage. The safest thing to do is obviously NOT SAVE YOUR TEST TRACK RECORDS. It doesn't mean you can't drive on the test track. You just must be very careful about saving -- and always, always, always make a backup copy of your game.

This scraes the **** outta me just thinking bout it. Why? Because, the simple fact of having the game delte your hard work and your pride and joy is shocking. If i get it, i aint gonna even TOUCH the Test track.

• RACES AREN'T PROPERLY RESTRICTED

Although the power restrictions work correctly (for example, you can't race a 593 horsepower car in a race with a max rating of 591 horsepower), you can race the "wrong" cars in a race. For example, you can race in the '80s race or a Wagon race with any car you want, as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum power for that race. This annoyed us, since it's possible to breeze through the game with only a couple of cars. Indeed, we only bought one car for most of the game (the incredible Lancer Evo VI with all the different turbo stage tunes), and instead used the Spoon S2000 that we won by getting Gold in the B license and sundry prize cars to win virtually all of the non-manufacturer races. Why the developer didn't go the extra step and ensure that you couldn't enter the "wrong" kinds of cars in a race is beyond us. It would have made the game more challenging, and seems like yet another oversight to us.

Now, although it is fun to use the wrong car in a race, the ability to use the any car as long as it dosent EXCEED the horsepower limit is upsetting to me, because it makes the game to damn easy.

And Finally....

Something you might have noticed is that in some cases, when you buy a car and then look at it in your garage, its power often differs from the figure originally shown at the dealership. Sometimes it's an increase (for example, most of the special model Rally Cars actually have much higher power output than is stated on the manufacturers figures, although one in particular (the Daihatsu Rally Storia) loses nearly 100 horsepower when you check it in your garage (gyp!). The Golf Gti VR6 drops from 201 horsepower (quoted in the dealership) to a feeble 141 horsepower when it's in your home garage. Which is crap, considering the real thing actually bangs out 174 horsepower. There are a large number of cars that this happens to -- our recommendation is to always save your game whenever you're about to buy a new car. That way you can always go back to your saved game if the car turns out to be disappointing.

Oh boy. This one i will have to keep an eye on, because, if i bought the VW Gofl GTi VR6, i would have to fork up even MORE money to make up for the lost horsepower. And sometimes in the Gran Turismo series, money will have to saved in order to buy a car you like or the part you want.

That is the edn of this blog, read and comment about this *Lets say delimmea* of mine.
