So, Gran Turismo 4 then eh?Blimey.
My very first impression was one of annoyance. I transferred funds across from my GT3 game save, and bought a nice funky Caterham 7, and then went and did the first lisence tests before going on to race.
However... when it came to entering a race, the game informed me that I couldn't enter, as the Caterham was a specialist car. Hmm. Nice of them to tell me that before I bought it.
Not wanting to lose all that money by just selling the car for a fraction of what I'd paid for it, I promptly deleted the whole game save, and started again.
Arse.
Second attempt.
I picked up a Renault Clio V6 Mk2, and got stuck right in.
Now... I'll spare you all the details of everything that follwed and just tell you what it's like.
ABSOBLOODYLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Yes, the graphics are fantastic, and noticably improved over GT3, yes the car handling is equally fantastic and improved over GT3, yes there are 700 cars, which is vastly more than GT3, and yes, there are 50 tracks, which is again vastly more than GT3.....
But all of this is nothing, as there are only 2 words you need to know relating to this game...
Nurburgring Nordschleife!!!
Huge, ultra realistic, and utterly terrifying in the best possible way.
