GT4 is an awsome game but still lacking |
| RichieD from SouthFL,USA says (10/Jun/2005): |
GT4 is the greatest racing simulation yet. Hundreds of cars to choose from and tons of tracks to race on as well as a drag strip. I like how they've added a the nos option because in some A-spec races, that deffinitely makes the difference. As far as the physics go, the only downside is the whole flying off the track at low speeds, but other than that, atleast all the american muscle cars from GT3 actually stay on the track this time, ie... the corvette race car. The exhaust note in some of the v-8's is really weak and definitely needs to be improved upon in the next GT as well as allowing the muscle cars atleast the opportunity to be tuned to lift off the ground slightly to give them the muscle car appeal they deserve. The license tests on GT4 are a whole lot harder than the previous GT's but you can finally beat the game without having to get all golds on the tests. There's a whole lot more variety as far as vehicle choices. You get to choose from cars, trucks, medium to high power race cars like the Takata Dome NSX, high power races cars like the BMW McLaren, and still the extremely versitile Formula Race Car of which there is only one type in this game unfortunately, unlike GT3 which had about 8 different types of Formula racers. Hands down GT4 is definitely the best all-around race car game made so far for any console.

Great graphics but ridiculous handling and gameplay!!!! |
| ALI from Portsmouth in England says (26/Jun/2005): |
Ive only had this game a couple of days. I was really looking forward to it as the last one was great and the television ads really seduced me. However what an anti climax. It claims to be realistic but that is a load of crap. i have a mitsubishi lancer evo and yet it struggles to go round corners at 35Mph. And these are wide roads i am talking about. Even my piece of crap nissan bluebird can go round those corners easily at 35Mph. Why do the cars all seem to have pooh 14inch tyres and not 16-19?. Also the braking is crap. I have installed all the brake upgrades and it still doesnt stop. Graphics are great but whats the point if gameplay is excrement!!!

Needs Improvement |
| Jason from Atlanta, USA says (28/Jun/2005): |
A good game, but one that needs work if it is to be the so called "ultimate driving simulator". The selection of cars isn't bad, but there's no ferrari's, lamborghini's, ect... and the selection of porsches IMHO is crap. Porsche is LEGENDARY in racing, porsche made the car that effectively made ford pack it up and go home with thier GT40 in the late 60's when no one thought it could be done. The availability to customize cars is severely lacking, no really special paint jobs, decals, kits, ect. There's really nothing that will change the cars overal look in the game, and when you change wheels, they still look stock size, and don't drive any different. If you really did get bigger wheels and lower the tire profile, you would get increased grip due to the higher Y flat radius of the tire, at a decrease of ride quality and making your shocks work harder. The engine sounds could be improved but that's negligable. Everything else is good about the game, very realistic car handling.

The best driving simulator ever? |
| Matt from London, England says (14/Jul/2005): |
GT4 is in my eyes is the best driving simulator to be produced so far on the PS2. Having said that though the game is not perfect and anyone that says it is, is wrong. It is very easy to be excited by the astonishing graphics, however as so many people have already said it dose lack damage to the cars which to me makes the game incomplete. As we all know driving games get better and better each year and so to rate this game as perfect would be naive as you would be admitting that there is no way of improving it. I am struggling to understand everyone's problems with the handling of the game as each car can be modified before each race to suit the track you are racing on and a good driver would know the gear to be in etc when turning.
Loving the selection of cars, however as was mentioned in an ealrier review the lack of ferraris etc is disapponiting.
As the game is so large I could ramble on for ages, but to sum it up I would say that it is the best racing sim on the PS2 enough depth to keep you going for ages and definitely worth the buy.

what is going on |
| phoenix from united kingdom says (20/Jul/2005): |
gt 4 not as good as i thought it would be but its a amazing game none the less.The choice of cars is wide but lacking to get some new names that we want to see like Ferrari,Lamborghini and Maserati.The game offers alot of hours of gameplay if you got the time to sit down and complete all the licences and do all of the driving missions.But if you just want to go side ways around the corner get in a dodge viper gtr team orica and turn off the traction control which is alot of fun.but when in comes to tuning your car its very disapointing when you look how far need for speed and midnight club have come.The graphics are very crisp and clinical which makes watching your replay very amuseing then you turn up your tv and hear the dreadful sound of the engines which is just awful.But for £40 you can't go wrong dispite the dodgey sound of the engines and the poop moding its a good game overall.

great. but there lots of room for improvement in gt5 |
| A gamer from derry,ireland says (26/Jul/2005): |
the game should have better carsm coz most of the cars r not worth drivin'.car damage,more good cars, the ablity to customize cars less 2-d trees and more car makes. theres no porshes,no ferriras,no mclarens,no lambos,and no weather changes. its always sunny(except rain tracks). it has not alot of certain car makes neither.it has 3 aston martins.i think on the ps3 games will bigga and betta.if u are buying a ps3 when its out a good game to buy is kill zone two. the grapics are amaze ing...oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

The most complete racer currently on the market |
| A gamer from Lincoln, England says (1/Aug/2005): |
I am still enjoying the newest edition of this racing series and would like to add my humble opinion. The graphics are indeed very good and the handling is pretty close to what it is in real life. The selection of cars and tracks are second to none and I actually like the subtle changes the modifications make to your car(I don't care to much for the nitrous option as it's to easy to win when using it!). The two things that get to me are 1. Lack of collision damage. (I can see this is annoying everyone and will continue to do so until implemented). 2. Competitors lack any personality. Even naming the other drivers would help. You could start worrying about the talented rookie who might steal your thunder etc...

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Milner from Barton Upon Humber,England says (23/Aug/2005): |
This Does exactly what it says on the tin it has the most advanced graphics and unique real handling for every car the cars actually behave as they would in real life. Also the game has been improved to keep you captivated and addicted to it for hours by introducing more real world circuits such as suzuka and the Nurburgring nordscheife will keep you playing for hours as you simply have so much to do to achieve a 100% game completion Also as another improvement on the previous GT games is the introduction of classic cars from the 80`s which cannot be bought from the dealers being able to be bought from the used cars which change every week so you have to keep checking to see if the car you have a soft spot for will come up on the lists eg. i spent ages waiting for a lotus Carlton to come up and eventually i got one.
Overall this is a game which will not leave you waiting for a sequel because Basically the game at the present will leave you hooked for such a long time.

Don't waste your time with the game! |
| BenO from USA says (23/Aug/2005): |
All these reviews talking about how great the graphics are that's a load of crap! If they where so hot why does the graphics scramble all the time for. And the wheels the pixels are so horrible that they look jagged around the edges. They may have tons of cars but about every one is crap where are the Ferraris and lambos they may have Aston Martin but where are the classics. And the subarus in this game drive like slugs. And the tuning shop what a rip off parts are way to much and when you do upgrade it doesnt help that much either. And why can't you resale the parts to. And the tuning village I thought buying parts there would be better but there the same stinking parts that you can buy from you car maker. The photo shoot may be one of a kind but do you really need that please! And that so called soundtrack is horrible. If you guys or gals want real fun get forza or need for speed.

Damn!!! |
| Aceexxx from Scotland says (4/Nov/2005): |
Gran Turismo 3 was a great game but The fourth installment is just well perfect.It might not have Ferraris,Lambos ...etc but its still perfect. The handleing is true to life unlike crap like Need For Speed where you can go around corners at 140mph. There is also a good sense of speed. In other games when i drive < remove me > at 120 it feels like 30. And it now has real tracks. Which means you can see how fast you can travel aruond the nurenberg ring in the game take youre car and see how accurate the game is.
Thats a game!

The greates game of all time |
| Simon from Denmark says (21/Jan/2006): |
This game i outstanding..... it has unbeliveble realistic handling, much better than any other game. It has many many cars, and they all handles like in real life. You would think that when they make rally and normal racing i one game, at least on of the things would bee unrealistic, but thínk twice, this game has the most realistic handling, in race, and in rally. Some people think that need for speed is better, but i think that if you give gt4 10 stars, then you can´t give need for speed more than 4 stars, even though it is okay. The cars are simply beautifull, every one of them, and there are an endless number of cars. This game is, and will allways be the best and most realistic game ever made, untill they make gt5 :-)
Peace out

good game, needs better handling though... |
| Dean from England says (3/Apr/2006): |
well what to say, the game overall is good, yet it isn't realistic in the sence of handling, i mean everyone knows you can go down the road in a real car give it full lock left or right and it will easily do a 360, yet on the game it doesn't it hardly has any lock at all, you have to slow down loads to take a stupid corner which would be easy in real life, you have to buy a 4,500,000 car like the GT-One to have more realistic handling, thats a bit stupid... i'll wait for GT5 on the ps3 i think
