| What can i say about this game: it IS what other racing games should try to be like. The graphics are phenominal. There are many orginal Gran Turismo courses that you will find on the Playstation version. There is a wide selection of cars. But, like with everything else though, there are some bads. The tracks can get boring, about every 2-3 days (time on the game), only 4 different dealerships are avilible, and in those 4 dealerships, thery only offer about 12 different cars at a time. You also can't manually adjust the engine components (e.g., turbo, boost, etc.). You can, however, adjust the camber, caster, dampers, spring rate, and ride height. Overall, despite the somewhat repeditivness of the game, it is a definite must have for the PSP. |
GT perfectionist touch now in the palm of your hand

I will keep it short and sweet because many reviews here are very clear about what is included and what is not in the game, so here is my take on GT PSP
I bought GT PSP at launch and i play it almost every day since then. GT fans know Poliphony Digital developer is all about perfection and details. GT on the PSP is true to the GT heritage of bringing top quality. The car's sounds are great, physics are tight, graphics are eye candy on the go. The game's fidelity to its big brothers is so remarkable that i was playing the PSP version one day and later i went to the GT 4 version with the logitech wheel (sweet :), and the driving lines i picked on the PSP game where useful on the PS2 game, something that points to the fidelity of car behavior found on GT PSP.
Awesome game, perfect for on the go gaming (quickies), and if one resist the temptation of comparing it to its big brothers, the game is as close to perfection as it gets. Highly Reccomended |
Gran Turismo travel version!

Gran Turismo has been one of my favorite all-time racing game and this version for the psp portal is no exception. Lets get to the reviews. The game has all the tracks from the previous GT versions so there's no worrying about having to race on a few tracks that can get boring after awhile. The graphics is fantastic! Music is ok - good music would definitely increase the fun factor of highspeed racing. The game offers more challenges on the tracks to build up your driving skills and many trophies to win.
The game starts out with a generous 100k in your account to buy your racing car and start racing. There are just about every cars you can think of in GT,however, you are limited to just four kind of "make" vehicles you can choose from depending on the day or number of races you have won. For instance, today on my psp when I go to the dealerships I can choose to buy from Bugatti, Ferrari, Nissan, and Acura, since I race Super Class with the Honda (Acura) NSX LM car, the dealership will change car companies every 2 or 3 wins I completed. And if I don't race much, the dealerships will change after 1 - 3 days. I usually race 5 laps. You don't really know when the next car dealership will come around once it is gone, but it will come. This really shouldn't make it less enjoyable because "real" GT racers need to build the cash from wins, learn how to drive their cars effectively, and eventually you will have every cars you wanted thats in the game. There is no career mode and no fixing-up cars such as engine/springs/coils/exhaust/etc performance upgrade. This doesn't stop the fun factor because the GT for the psp is considered as "on-the-go" where you focus more on the racing and enhancing your skills of driving than worrying about the 5 extra hp you will gain from a spoon exhaust.
The loading time is a discouragement, but thats because the game is jam pack with graphics, driving physics, and numerous tracks. Why is the loading time so slow? Well, if I am correct - the fat psp has only 32MB of ram and the new slim psp has 64mb of ram; this is not nearly enough fast memory for a game like GT. PSP needs atleast 512mb of fast ram and an improved UMB disc drive. The game does provide the option to store GT on your memory stick which cuts down the waiting time to 45% - 55%. Overall, this game is awesome and "real" GT players shouldn't care about anything else than racing and improving on the cars that they race in.

| I dont know games from kidney stones but my son likes the game so its great in my book. Great transaction that I lucked into buying for a kid that is a bit of a "sophisticate" when it comes to games and also is quite truthful when relaying opinions on gifts. If he said he liked it, he liked it. Great transaction! |
great
