Gran Turismo: Sport Steelbook Edition (PS4)

What a great game! Like many have said previously, this is an online only game ( apart from the arcade mode ) so if your not a PS Plus subscriber you probably wont get as much out of the game but saying that, I cant see why people would not want to be a PS Plus subscriber. Its a bit pricey but great value over all. As far as the game goes, its just a great game. The Graphics are just amazing, performance is spot on at 60FPS and silky smooth, the sound is great from the engine noise etc... and a really good soundtrack. The game has been out all but a couple of days and a lot of people seem to be complaining about the lack of cars and tracks. This will be increased with future updates but I still find that whats there from the start is enough to warrant purchasing the game. If you have a wheel its also a great experience but plays really well on a standard DS4. Ive been a gamer for over 30 years and have every GT game and I think the progress the game has made over the years is just brilliant. Games will always have "haters" and like all games, you cant please everybody after all but I think a lot of the negatives the game may have will be rectified with near future updates to bring it more in line with peoples expectations. If you give this game a chance I'm sure most serious racers will get lots of enjoyment out of the game. Its a fantastic experience. NO RACING GAME is perfect as they all show faults and people have widely different expectations about what is "perfect" in a driving game. A few minor adjustments to the options will be most welcome and will only make this game an even better experience. I love it and IT WILL have a massive user base which can only be a good thing in regards to the online aspect of the game. I'm sure some people will disagree with what I have said about the game as like I say, you cant please everybody and youll always have your fanboys of other racing games that cant wait to slate the game "just because it on another system! Real gamers will not be bothered about this and will just enjoy games whatever system its on. I own Project Cars 2 and I own Forza 7 and both are really good games. They all have their faults and they all have great things going for them. GT Sport is also fantastic in 4K on a PS4 Pro so if you have both of those in your arsenal, you are going to get a great experience. I highly recommend GT Sport. There is a lot to be enjoyed from the game and the things that need improving I'm sure will be in the near future. As Far as console racing goes, I really don't think there is that much to dislike about the game. Its not perfect but Nothing is. I'm happy and to me that's all that matters. Well done Polyphony.

Further Update 1st December: Single player GT Mode on its way in December with free DLC! Can't wait! This game has now blown all others out of the water. Constantly playing GT Sport and not a lot else. This is the racing game I had waited so long for since the last time I player Gran Turismo back on PS2. Pure awesomeness and for the current price of £27 it is an absolute bargain.Old Review - November: This is an update to my review I did a few days after receiving the game. At that time I gave it two stars. In summary my original review focused on my annoyance and disappointment over the lack of a single player career mode and online only saves, etc.Since then I have played the game a lot even delving into the online racing which I thought would not interest me. So far I have found it to be pretty awesome and the emphasis on behaving in a sportsman like manor seems to be working. I've rarely had any instances where other racers have rammed my car or tried to push me off the road.Another part of the game that I thought was going to be a waste of time is the Scapes. Again I have found myself spending quite a bit of time with this mode.As I mentioned in my original review the graphics are crazy stunning. The cars look amazing and the replays are the best. So many racing games have terrible looking replays. The lighting in race mode and replays is beautiful and I find myself watching a lot of replays. On the ps4 pro with 4k the graphics are simply amazing.I am still somewhat disappointed by the lack of a single player career mode but the strength of the online racing and the overall quality of the game has forced me to do a complete 180 with my review. I have gone from being annoyed and disappointed by this game to playing it daily and really really loving it. I'm even enjoying playing the Sport online racing mode which has totally surprised me. Due to this I have to increase my rating to 5 stars. It's just too good not to.
