Review: Gran Turismo
Never before has a racing game gotten so many things right. Turismo rockets to the top with unbelievable depth, raucous arcade actin, challenging sim gameplay, and more cars than a mall parking lot. It's worth every penny.
Effortlessly dusting the competition, Gran Turismo flashes past the finish line with slick controls and stellar gameplay. It?s easily the best of the PlayStation?s realistic racing games.
Starting off in the garage, Turismo scores big with 166 real-life cars, ranging from the lowly Honda Civic to the high-end dream machines like the Corvette, Viper, and Toyota Castrol Supra. The excellent selection of tracks delivers plenty of variety, and Turismo performs like a winner with no draw-in, speedy load times, and blazing-fast action.
But gameplay is where Turismo really rocks. A fast, pick-up-and-play Arcade mode, along with topnotch two-player split-screen racing, positions Turismo at the head of the pack for casual racing fans. And hardcore racers who delve into the amazing Sim mode will uncover impressive depth. It?s almost like fantasy league racing?you test for licenses, participate in a wide array of events, buy and maintain as many cars as you can afford, and even upgrade their performances with a vast multitude of parts.
Need for Speed III may have more flash, but Turismo?s got more game. It?s one of the must-buy titles of this summer.
