Why Do YOU Like the Gran Turismo Series?

Why Do You Love Gran Turismo?

I love Gran Turismo because of the presentation, feel, tone and attention to detail in the game. GT may not have the prettiest graphics, or the best physics, but it is all at top quality. We can go all day about physics, but I could care less because the way GT feels just feels "right" to me.

I have tried other racing games (like Forza Motorsport), but it didn't feel right to me. The whole time I was playing Forza, I felt homesick from GT. :?

The Menu Music

is

amazing.

I enjoy Gran Turismo almost entirely for the pure enjoyment I get out of driving the cars.

I also love GT because of things like this.

And this. :)

And if you DON'T like the GT series, please state why.

Yeah, its not just the racing or the reailsm, the style of all the menus and music, as well as the way its presented just gives me this feeling of a laid-back kind of awesome. I played GT5: P quite a bit on a G25 wheel, and it was one of the most fantastic gaming experiences I've ever had. Forza may have crashes, but it doesn't have the same soul GT has for me. 110million

its the main reason i bought a ps3Shawtymann

got the ps3 for GT...i love cars and GT got cars i love and it presents them in all their greatness.Burning_Sun

It has the best menu music EVER. But in all seriousness it's just good fun, in recent times i've enjoyed the Forza series more gameplay wise, but it's not as if it completely kills the GT series for me, theres just something about the GT games that makes them feel majestic.bethwo

I agree. This is probably my favorite menu song, lol.

I'm not much of a fan of racing sims, I prefer the real thing. Driving sports cars in real life is a lot more fun and absolutely nothing like playing video games. Bigboi500

A game with soul. A game for driving enthusiasts. For people that look for more than racing. And of couse the music and car selection.kentaro22

Ive only played the first GT game on the PSone i think it's good,Forza is good alsoforeverflame890

It was great at one time, but Forza (Gamespot reviews prove it) and GTR have surpassed GT. Polyphony took too long and fell behind the curve. They'll probably never catch up now. So no, I don't really like the franchise much anymore.BioShockOwnz

reviews don't prove anything. Its all up to the individual. I like GT(as do many many others) over Forza, am I wrong because gamespot or IGN disagrees?

I do like Forza better, but Gran Turismo is pretty good as well. I'd take Burnout 3: Takedown over either of them, though.MetroidPrimePwn

I love GT, the game has essence, it has soul, and you can tell how much love and care was put into it, owning a car in GT feels great, there's just something about the cars that make them all seem so special and unique, they aren't just diferent skins with stats, each car has a soul. Plus the game is totally addicting, need moar muné! To pimp my ridez!

I've been playing Forza 2 while waiting for GT5 and it's a great game, glad I don't have to pick between them :P But I do think GT is much more realistic except for damage ofc. 1 example drifting in GT = Hard, drifting in Forza = easy, this isn't necessarily a bad thing tho, the ez drifting actually helped me get into the game, it depends on how "hardcore" you are I guess. I do find GT to be the better series for car fanatics, Forza is the better series for gamers that feel like playing a good sim.

And for the record I think GT5 is going to be Godly.

the menus are great. the number of cars is amazing. the driving is the best out of any racing series IMO. the presentation is always top notch. there is so much to do making the value sky high. the events and tracks and everything you do is so fun. and it just feels so authentic.
