Gran Turismo
Reviewed by Greatest One
Gran Turismo is a game that provides all the thrills of
racing along with the frustrations that come with it. With a
lot of real cars and tracks to choose from, Gran Turismo
strives to be the ultimate racing experience. And it comes
pretty close.
Racing on tracks is a lot of fun, especially against the
tough computer. Unlike other racers, it is actually pretty
tough to win in Gran Turismo. The arcade mode is fun, but
the real part of the game is the extensive career mode.
In the career mode, you start out with $10,000. There are a
bunch of circuits and tournaments that you can enter to win
more money. But, first you need to have a car. You have to
use your money wisely in deciding which car to buy. At
first, you can only buy a cheap used car. By winning races,
you can upgrade to bigger and better cars. But you can't
just go ahead and enter in the tournaments. You don't have
your license.
The license part is pretty frustrating and may turn off some
players. There are three type of licenses. To get these you
have to show your driving skills in a series of tests. These
tests are pretty innovative and are quite difficult. Some
involve making quick hairpin turns while going from one
point to another without going off course. You also have to
do it in a set time limit. As you get your license,
different tournaments get unlocked and you are on your way
to a great driving experience.
