  Gran Turismo (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gran Turismo is partially responsible for the US introduction of cars once available only in Japan and other right hand drive markets, such as the Subaru Impreza WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series, and the the Nissan Skyline, under Nissan's luxury brand Infiniti as the G35.
Although Gran Turismo has a beer-and-pretzels arcade mode, the real heart of the series is its simulation mode, which guides the player through a circuit of increasingly difficult events—building up their cash, skill, and stable of cars all the while.
The game was released for PlayStation 2 on December 28, 2004 in Asia, February 22, 2005 in the United States and March 9, 2005 in Europe.

 GamersMark - Gran Turismo 4 Review
Gran Turismo 4 is no different than any other game in the series, or any other racing simulation, in the way that it appeals to the more hardcore gamer and racing fan.
Most racing games are often plagued with opposing AI that drive in the same lines lap after lap and stay in the same ranking throughout an entire race.
Gran Turismo 4 is another one of those games that fail to give a uniqueness to the performance of opposing racers, thus they feel like exactly what they are, and that is an AI-controlled opponent, instead of an opponent that feels lifelike and independent.

 Gran Turismo 4: PlayStation 2 (PS2) Game Reviews - The Armchair Empire
In the last game, the view where the camera was placed behind the car gave a somewhat awkward perspective when driving, as it was placed a little too low, consequently causing the car to obscure players’ view of the track.
In Gran Turismo 4 this has been corrected by placing the camera a tiny bit higher, thus making it much easier to see where one is going.

 Into Liquid Sky - Game Reviews
For those who don't know (consisting of the 1% of the console gaming world that hasn't been swallowed whole by the hype), Gran Turismo 3 is the first sequel to the racing series to appear on the Playstation 2.
Where Gran Turismo 3 really shines is the deep (to the point of being life-altering) simulation mode in which players earn licenses to race in various circuits (beginner, amatuer, professional, rally, etc.), buy and sell cars and modify said cars to their driving tastes.
While it is easily one of the most comprehensive and visually solid racing games to date, I found the fact that it's basically a repackaged Gran Turismo 2 a little hard to swallow.

 IGN: RACE -- The WTCC Game - CBSGames.com
If, however, you're a wannabe race driver-cum-mechanic who gets excited about the prospect of fiddling with gear differentials then slip on your racing leathers because Eidos is working on a driving simulation that might make Gran Turismo look like a shallow arcade racer.
The game focuses on the WTCC - World Touring Car Championship - and includes all the cars, drivers and tracks from the 2006 season.
Naturally you don't have to change the configuration of the car if you don't want to, because a team of AI mechanics is on hand to ensure it's race-ready before you slip into the driving seat, but players taking the time to fine-tune their engine will definitely see the benefits out on the track.

 New Gran Turismo game to be pay-as-you-go
Gran Turismo HD canned, but a limited free download is coming
The game itself will be more free-form than the Classic release, more of a driving simulator than a standard singleplayer game where you earn new content by completing various missions.
Some might argue that this has already been shown to be acceptable in the form of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), but monthly fees for those titles pay not only for new content but the vast array of servers required to support an online world with millions of users.
