Lots of fun if you like a good racing simulator, but there is a few concerns...

User Rating: 8 | Gran Turismo: The Real Driving Simulator PSP
By NightmareADS | Review Date:
So I have been playing this game now since it basically came out, and what can I say, it's very addictive! The gameplay is very realistic, this game is easly worthy of the Gran Turismo title, it is easly the best racing game on PSP and the best simulator, the cars handle so realistic that u can almost learn to drive on it!! (lol ,Don't try it at home!! :D). Graphics are great for a PSP game, lots of cars to race and collect. I would easly recomend this game to anyone looking for a great racing game for the PSP.

Ratings:

Graphics: 9/10

Racing: 9/10

Menus: 7/10

Gameplay/Format: 6/10

Average: About 8/10

Now for the problems, firstly, the cars you can buy in the game aren't all that great, the are realistic and all, but the cars they should've included they left out and cars that no one cares about they include, (they basically took all the cars from GT4, removed some, mostly pre 1940's cars, added about 10 new models and called it a day!) no one wants to race a Suzuki Wagon R!!! or some Daihatsu that's slower than walking pace, We want fast cars like the New Evo X and the new Camaro for examples or cars that they didn't include but should have!!

These are the new cars:

2009 Chevy Corvette C6 ZR1

2008 Mazda Furai Concept

2008 Citroen GT Concept

2009 Nissan GT-R SpecV

1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400 and The 1988 Lamborghini Countach 25th Aniversary,

2002 Ferrari Enzo and 2007 Ferrari F2007 (F1 Race Car),

2009 Bugatti Veyron 16:4,

2009 Audi R8 LMS (Team PlayStation and Plain)

These are all fine, but c'mon Gran Turismo!!! I know you can do better than this, if there is gonna be a GT2 for PSP I hope they include cars people actually care about and want to drive.

Secondly, you can only buy cars from 4 dealerships at a time, about every 2 days they change randomly, so you never know what cars are coming next, although this makes you play the game so u can get new cars it's kinda annoying, for example i am trying to get an Aston Martin DB9 right now and so far the Aston dealership hasn't become available.

And as you probably already know, there is no career mode. This kinda sucks as it gives u no challenges to beat, there are driving challenges but i've completed them all already in no time at all. now all i can do is do drift trials, time trials, collect cars and race CPU opponents which brings me on to my next problem.

The online car sharing option is a joke, i have tried it several times and it simply doesn't work!!! I have a fast Wi-Fi connection at home and I use the online mode mode on my NFS game and it works fine, but 4 some reason it just doesn't work in GT.

Overall a great racing game, but if they can solve these problems it could be the best on the PSP.
