Gran Turismo 4 is out and so are the requisite game reviews
{embed="video-games/dpadz-ads"}Gran Turismo 4 is finally on the store shelves and along with them are a bunch of reviews. The skinny is the details are amazing, the driving physics are even better than ever and the cars look great. Essentially, a much much better version of GT3, nothing truly revolutionary but the peak of the GT evolutionary scale for the PS2. Two major grievances from the past is still around, the annoying AI that seems to ignore your presence trucking along with lack of damage modelling. Of course the promised online mulitplayer is now missing.
Two main modes of GT4 are arcade which allows you to enter quick races and the Gran Turismo mode or career mode as other games call it, where you’ll earn points, participate in buying, selling, and upgrading your cars while racing around the world.
While controlling your car using the Dual Shocks are enjoyable I feel the immersiveness of a good driving wheel truly makes the game a much more absorbing driving experience. Something like the Logitech Force Pro I mentioned earlier that comes with a discount when you buy GT4 will let you feel every bump and gravel on the tracks. For those of you lucky enough to have a widescreen HTDT, GT4 includes 480p and 1080i support. With all the different adjustments, options and vehicle tweaks available as in previous GT’s the replay value is almost infinite so the $130 game plus wheel purchase doesn’t seem that outrageous.
Here are a bunch of reviews.
