Pros: Fun for a while, good soundtrack...
Cons: ... but gets boring quite quickly...

The best-selling Playstation 1 game of all time with over ten million units sold, Gran Tourismo was a formidable and quite innovative game at the time.  I remember playing it on a friend's PS1 years ago and being quite amazed by its graphics and ...

Pros: Every single thing except...
Cons: Not a lot of American cars, social life destroyer, not so hot arcade mode

It was torture the day I bought this game. I needed batteries for my discman before a trip to Lake Geneva, WI (but this is not a travel review, so moving on..), and stumbled into the electronics department (Wal-Mart I think). Anyway, Gran Turismo had...

Pros: The realistic gameplay. It'll take you ages to complete. Great sound. Good graphics.
Cons: It's getting on a bit. Slightly dodgy A.I. No damage on car models.

Didn’t you just love the Playstation One? It was the games console of the 90’s, with the coolest and best games, nice graphics, and a very cool image. All your mates had one, so multiplayer was never a problem. It changed the face of...

Pros: Realistic physics, smooth frame rate, tight cars.
Cons: This game has forced me to compromise my rigid set of gaming morals.

Wife: "Honey, you were supposed to wake me up at 11:00! We were supposed to get stuff done today! Don't tell me you've been playing that game ALL NIGHT."

Me: "I was going to wake you up at 11:00, Gorgeous. It's only, like, a quarter after...

Pros: Great music, replay value, options, and cars
Cons: Controls are tough to learn

Let me just start this opinion by saying that this is a joint review comparing the good and bad of the Gran Turismo games. If it does what I want, then this opinion should help you decide what game to purchase if either of the two. My basic breakdown...

Pros: Good racing sim, nice graphics
Cons: Music, no replay value

Gran Turismo is one of those games purely sold on the introduction movie. You spend close to fourty dollars (now probably twenty or thirty) to get this game, pop it in your Playstation, and watch the movie thinking "Wow, that's what it's gonna be...

Pros: Real driving experience, good graphics, great control.
Cons: none!!

I got this game as a Christmas present. I love it!!!! The game is well worth buying if you are a racing game hound. I played for hours upon hours on Christmas day.

The main features of this game is the car selection and tracks. You can play...

Pros: Fast Paced, Addictive Fun
Cons: Can Get Very Hard!

I was still in college a couple of years ago when Gran Turismo came out, and one of my roommates had rented it on a whim. We spent the entire weekend thoroughly entranced with the game; our every waking hour was spent playing the fabulous racing...

Pros: Pretty graphics. Great depth.
Cons: Not much fun for casual gamer. Car selection is neat but not too fun after awhile.

When I first played Playstation, I saw a demo for GT. I marveled at the cool graphics, the way the cars looked, the neat way it seemed to handle like a real car. I swore that if and when I got a Playstation, this would be one of the games I got.
...

Pros: Great graphics, especially the REPLAYS!!
Cons: I wish I could go off track...

The first time I saw this game was actually on a demo disc for the Playstation. I was pretty surprised at the graphics of the game, especially the replay. I bought the game not long after, and I raced with it for quite a while. I remember one time my Mom...

Pros: Great Choice of Cars, Challenging, and Just Plain Fun!
Cons: Perhaps Too Tough For Beginners!

When I first bought my Sony Play Station, I bought several games with it, as well as a memory card, and I'm glad I did.
This game is the most realistic, action packed driving game I have ever played.
You get a many choices in cars, (some of...

Pros: Second only to GT2
Cons: GT2 is on sale now!

Legacy. When the game designers get everything just right, we are blessed with a game like Gran Turismo. Take real cars, real car companies and integrate them the best possible racing game framework and this is what you get. Real-feel racing. They have...

Pros: Graphics, control, car physics
Cons: No regular American Cars

I realize now that I waited way too long to buy this series. After all the excellent scores in gaming magazines and positive word of mouth advertising, I went out and bought Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2 (separate review soon).

...

Pros: Realistic, challenging, and intense.
Cons: it's very addicting.

(Now when I read the first review I wrote for Gran Turismo, I was disappointed by its quality. Gran Turismo is THE racing game, and I feel that my watered-down review didn't do it justice, so I'm going to try and write it again.)

Okay,...

Pros: As realistic as it gets. Open ended gaming for hours and hours of play
Cons: Lisence tests can be EXTREMELY frustrating for some, and the AI becomes a bit easy.

Overall: 10 Gameplay: 10 Graphics: 9 Sound: 9 Concept: 10 Replay Value: 10 Aptly titled 'The real Driving Simulator', Gran Turismo has everything good from previous racing games and more. It features over 150 true to life cars, with some of ...
