This thread has been linked to the game 'Gran Turismo 4 (GT4)'.
I eventually got round to buying this yesterday and it's a lot better than I was expecting it to be. The car handling is spot on, the way the car pitches, the way every little alteration you make to your set-up really effects performance, it realy does feel like a driving simulator now.
There's a tonne of cars obviously, and although I'm probabaly ever going to use around half of them, that still makes it about 200 or so. It's also nice to see every track from the previous GT games in there, plus some new ones, and the El Capitan circuit looks fantastic, although my favourite is still the Deep Forest Circuit.
I spent most of yesterday (around 12 hours) playing this, trying to get all of my licenses. I eventually got my Special License at around 2 this morning! The final test for the S License is a killer by the way.
Anyway I started off with a Nissan 300 ZX, after transfering 10.000 credits over from my GT3 save, which is another great feature. It's sitting at just over 430bhp now and can see off about pretty much everything. But I did unlock a 67' Mercury Cougar after I got my final License, so I shoved a super-charger on that and it's an absolute monster at over 500bhp, although it's still too heavy as I've yet to do the weight reductions.
Overall it's a great game with plenty to do. Loads of cars, tracks, a great soundtrack and some other neat features like the photo mode. Basically this is the best racer available on any console at the moment, and no doubt I'll waste away another 12 or so hours today.
