Gran Turismo 4 Impressions
I picked up a slim-line Playstation 2 and Gran Turismo 4 at CompUSA this weekend. They were having a GT4 sale this week for $37.99, go and get it folks. The game is basically the same old Gran Turismo with better graphics, more cars (700!), and more tracks.
The good part is the same awesome driving feel is there with the best presentation and graphics seen yet on the PS2. The bad part is the same dumb AI is used for the other cars. They are basically oblivious to you and just run the same driving lines over an dover again. I guess we will have to wait for Forza Motorsport for that. That being said, I'm still having a blast. The thing about this game is it's challenging enough where when you actually pass a test, buy a car, and win a race, it actually means something and is damn rewarding.
As I get older, I think my reflexes are slowing down, so I need all the help I can get. Any tips on progressing in Gran Turismo 4 will be much appreciated on the discussion forum. [Discuss]
