Beautiful and Amazing Game!
PostedJune 29, 2012
Although many may disagree, please dont listen to them as they provide almost no useful information and mass amounts of false information, this game is great in many ways! With graphics that far surpass what any PS2 game could ever had achieve. Great music selection and beautiful introduction and credit movies. The mass amount of cars and their detail is amazing, and the tracks look amazing aswell! Those corners can really get ya though ^_^ ... Now Yes.. i am a huge fan of Gran Turismo but that is not in the way of my review. Now one said the cars are slow as all heck at the start and its hard to turn, well this isnt your crazy cheesy racing games that make the cars powerful as all heck, this game was supposed to be realistic and the game tries to be like that. And most of you idiot reviewers probably never have beaten a single race.

Great game... escpecially for 3 bucks.

Great game!!! I have probably put in 36 hours and not even 20% done with it. LOL. It's very long, challenging, and fun. It tells the truth when it says "The real Driving simulater" except for It is very, very hard to drift, and no damage at all. The only thing I dont like is that you can't adjust camber, tire pressure, etc. but overall it's great and maybe in 2 years I will finish it. :) Highly recommended if you have a five dollar bill laying around.
Is a overall, decent racing game, but I didn't enjoy it. If you just want to sit back and race, once in a blue moon, this is game for you

Most comprehensive and best racing game on PS2
PostedFebruary 11, 2012
As the case for the DVD says "the real driving simulator". That's what this is, it's a driving simulator, and it was my second simulator after gt3. Driving simulators are easily the best racing games you can get. The reason being is the sense of accomplishment. It's not like a NFS arcade racer where you play it once you've played it a thousand times, or where every single car feels identical apart from the differences in speed, in a simulator, not only do you learn real techniques but you also can feel REAL characteristics of the cars you are driving. For me, that's the best part. I'm not rich, I would never be able to drive a supercar like a McLaren SLR or a race car like a Chapparal 2J, but simulators allow me to know what they are really like by experiencing it for myself. For me, that's literally all I need, a bunch of car, a bunch of tracks, and realistic physics. Those are more important than graphics, but in GT4, you have easily the best graphics on the PS2 in 1080i (if you have a component cable). That's saying a lot considering god of war 2 is also on ps2 (that game looks phenominal as well). The coolest thing is whether you use a controller or steering wheel this simulator is still very very easy to play. There is a learning curve but the biggest thing you have to learn is to USE YOUR BRAKES!!!! That's it. that's all a brand new player has to learn and there's even a blinking red number next to the speedometer that tells you when to brake, which makes it much easier to learn tracks and put in fast lap times. There are 800 cars, 40 tracks (with 75 layouts) and a career mode that I have not, and probably never will finish. The VARIETY in this game is also key, you have basic road car, sports cars, supercars, concept cars, rally cars, touring cars (DTM, JGTC, AMLS), le mans prototypes, GROUP B RALLY cars, and FORMULA ONE. The tracks vary as well, there are city tracks, real life circuits including the NURBURGRING, fantasy (original) tracks, tarmac rally circuits, dirt and snow rally circuits, and there's a drag strip and test course. There's also car customization, you can typically double the horsepower of any road car in the game, add racing suspension/transmission/differential and lighten it as well. You can add a wing too or change rims. You also have a bunch of tuning options. Here's what you don't have : Damage- seriously, I don't get why people complain so much, YOU DON'T PLAY RACING GAMES TO CRASH, THIS IS NOT A CRASHING SIMULATOR. Sure, damage would be welcome but it doesn't make or break this simulator, it's not important. You also don't have online multiplayer but what PS2 game does other than TOCA ( I recommend that game but it's much less realistic). GT4 DOES HAVE SPLIT SCREEN multiplayer and it's a blast. There are also license tests. I kind of don't like that you can't do certain races with out getting a license BUT, it does teach you extremely valuable techniques that you will be very happy you learned when the racing gets tougher, and it will get tougher. My opinion compared to the other GT games is not high however. It has almost as much content as gt5 and almost double gt3, the problem for me is the physics are little too easy compared to gt3, GT PSP, or GT5. GT5 obviously is by far the best in the series but it's on the ps3 so obviously it's gonna have better gameplay and more content and of a higher quality. Overall, this is the best game on the PS2 without question, there's no game that is more fun to play, and there's no game that you will have more to do and enjoy. It's only $2 so why not buy it.

I completely agree that you don't buy racing games to crash, and if you do, go buy a ps3 and dirt 3 and go drive off a cliff...
