The replays had some of us doing double-takes to make sure we weren't watching real race footage. [Feb 2003, p.97]
If you can get past its slightly intimidating barrier to entry (getting your license to race in this game is trickier than the real thing), you'll play Gran Turismo for months and months and never see all of its glory. This is a classic.
Picture the most complete racer you could ever imagine, now double it. Gran Turismo is definitely the best racing game ever.

This Game is an Absolute MUST PLAY for all people who own a PlayStation 1, 2 or 3. This is an amazing retro car racing game. The Soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. It’s by far one of my favourite PlayStation 1 games I’ve played before. Sure, the graphics aren’t as good as Modern Racing games such as Forza Horizon 5, Grand Turismo 7, Etc. This game is also a must have if you love nostalgia! Anyways, that’s my review.

Some of the positives of this game, was that it defined what a sim-racing experience should be. Which I felt that Sony executed the elements, pretty neatly in Gran Turismo. The 3d graphics are good for its time, and so the amusement/driving factors. Although it has shown plenty of age, and the limited amount of circuits or manufacture variation, is preventing me from putting Gran Turismo at a high spot.

The amazing part is that GT takes all of this into account and represents it in the performance of your car. This includes traction, weight, load balance, gear ratios, downforce, and lots of other technical racing jargon. For example, buy a racing suspension, and before each race you can modify the car height (front and rear), spring rate, shock damping and camber angle.

Turismo rockets to the top with unbelievable depth, raucous arcade action, challenging sim gameplay, and more cars than a mall parking lot. It’s worth every penny.

The biggest, best and sexiest racing game ever. What we have here is a gigantic car game that's such enormous fun to play because of three main elements: unparalleled realism, ground-breaking graphics and the chance to spend a lot of money.

One of the most exquisite racers ever to hit the PlayStation. Its alluring features will keep you glued to your seat for months, if not years. In fact I haven't driven my real car in three weeks.

The tracks to this game can get sort of boring after awhile of playing the game (most of the tracks are the same, they just re-route them for you to go in different directions).

Before you can enter a given circuit, you must obtain certification in the form of a license. If you don't pass, you can't race. This is certainly the most controversial aspect of the game and the reason that Gran Turismo scores only an 8 in gameplay.

Dönemine göre inanılmaz bir sim oyunu; setup ayarlama, upgrade ekranı ve müthiş fotoğrafları inanılmaz kılıyor oyunu.

Great game, if the last license would be easier it would get a higher score.

This was just so much fun as a child, I still remember my favorite car even though I can't remember it's name!

A l'époque, ce fut une petite révolution : un nouveau genre était né et un véritable mode "carrière". Une tripotée de voitures pour l'époque (à 95% japonaises mais bon...) et des graphismes bluffants pour une PS1 ! Cela étant, la conduite n'était pas très entousiasmante, le comportement était pour le moins simpliste avec des réactions que n'aurait pas renié un mauvais Need For Speed mais qui restaient réalistes à côté d'un Ridge Racer (tout est relatif en effet !). Je n'y ai pas passé beaucoup de temps (le jeu mal dégrossi finissait par ennuyer) et lui ai toujours préféré son successeur (GT2) amélioré sur tous les points.

Na época, foi uma pequena revolução: nasceu um novo gênero e um verdadeiro modo "carreira". Um bando de carros para a época (95% japoneses, mas ei...) e gráficos impressionantes para um PS1! Dito isto, a condução não foi muito emocionante, o comportamento foi no mínimo simplista com reações que um Need For Speed ​​ruim não teria negado mas que se manteve realista ao lado de um Ridge Racer (tudo é relativo mesmo!). Não gastei muito tempo nele (o jogo tosco acabou ficando chato) e sempre preferi que seu sucessor (GT2) melhorasse em todos os pontos.

SummaryWith authentic cars, courses, and car physics, Gran Turismo 4 adds an even more realistic racing simulation to the series. The characteristics of each car take into account weight, speed, friction, and more to deliver realistic handling.
