    It only evolves graphically. Playably it's a Playstation 2 Gran turismo. It should be an evolution, not a remastered.

Lot of content, some reward cars can be awkward and the manager mode an entire sub genre I think started here (I may be wrong but can't recall other niche games or notable doing this till GT4).

    First is the menus. The orange and blacks of menus, HUD and more are gone in favour of a more white modern look. I enjoy the other design but the quality of it (resolution I mean) it still looks appealing as if it came out in this generation for a map in GT Mode to options/arcade mode (also less boxes and blandness like modern games too).

    Music remixes are still here & great. While licensed music has more variety of genres and artists.

    The driving model is more higher level skill. The variety of FF, FR, MR, 4WD & RR are still different enough & quirks that cars are known for are present. Many tracks do look like their real life counterparts now. While some new ones have been added alongside some less appealing too many cars for advertising big number counts when its too many versions of a Madza MX5, Honda Civic or others. Too many trims included.

    No car classes or Gear Score/PP/PI system, no level system (didn't till GT5 & further focus, even stricter in GT7. Only Corvette/Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano/Racing Lagoon as RPG focused for the time.

    Licenses tests offer 80 tests (16 per 5), 3 1 lap trials each (15 total), then 8-10 per of GT1-3. There is variety but some are filler (repeats). GT4P save import offers bronze tests & 100K.

    Coffee Breaks are fun little side challenges. No 1L Fuel left of GT6 yet but many cone focused (cone maze/spiral) or marked Gymkhana course layouts.

    Driving Missions are introduced. Many of these are more so overtake missions such as slipstreaming, 1 Lap Magic aka time limit back of the pack and overtake all opponents (Sprint in FM6&7), 3 lap overtaking with opponents scattered around the track & overtaking just 1 or 2 opponents of a similar car range. 1 lap magic times can get long to wait for so be careful about how to beat them. Some around 30 seconds others 100.

    You did have R Racing (story/challenges)/MotoGP time trial, checkpoints, overtaking challenges to get concept art and bikes, or MotoGP3 20 custom tracks never seen again or TOCA story mode/motorsport variety but GT4 offers it's style of content offerings.

    Like those listed above to the GT2 approach of:
    -one make events (no randomiser this time so no filtering Super Speedway anymore XD),
    -Endurance from 1 to 24hrs (3 24hr events) (no dynamic day/night) or 100 lap counts,
    -Drag Race (1 Las Vegas Strip so not as many as Sega GT on Dreamcast or FM3),
    -photo scapes to position cars in photo mode,
    -speed tests or races (5 credits and a custom race based on the car you selected),
    -3 difficulties and many rally events
    -B spec mode useful for tracks you don't like or endurance events which does cut out after going to the pits so you have to reset it again. You can x3 speed which isn't present in GT5&6 B spec sadly but GT6's player control option with R1 and accel/brake does put it up a bit then just paces.

    The event variety is good. You have a good mix of drivetrain, supercars/Horse power requirement, car classes (hatch, muscle, trucks and more) old era or modern era, one makes, rally and more are available.

    Tuned cars offer different complete/better parts than makers.

    With some rewards as concept/historical, some not all can be used in main events only in arcade mode/speed tests. But it varies, try out some concepts to find out (message will tell you if you can't use them). So be careful winning concept cars for some events you worked hard to beat. Events can be repeated/sell those cars.

    Car selling prices vary, concepts aren't worth selling anything (unless fan mods).

    The mix of road, wet, dirt & snow for rally is great. Some tracks are tight, so get creative with ways to pass single opponents. Some GT2/3 tracks are removed (some still there like Tahiti Maze/Swiss Alps).

    With some new added like Grand Canyon, Paris, Italian cities (Coast de Amalfi, Cita Di Aria), Tsukuba wet & Cathedral Rocks.

    Used car dealers return, results of car types/region are fair but still awkward. Especially for non-Japanese cars you can find some for certain events, but best to go with new cars. For trucks go for new dealers. Besides day 690-700 silhouette cars.

    If you complete Beginner & Professional events you receive the end movie. But Extreme Events are available as a bonus besides the rally, endurance (after 25%), US, EU & JP events.

    The game can easily last 100s of hours, be played many different ways even with the fair event requirements (something many modern games like FM6's linear & side content approach could learn from. But different in structure to a PGR2 that has car class event careers but is allowing many event types/tracks still) events so many are open ended (main or side). With many ways, casual/custom challenges/B spec/roleplay.    … Expand

Gran Turismo 4 offers an incredibly wide variety of cars (over 700 cars) ranging from the beginnings of car manufacturing to wacky concept cars. I dont want to write this anymore im to lazy

    Never will a video game moment be as perfect as starting arcade mode in this masterpiece. The sea of beautiful to drive cars and gorgeous landscapes still amazes me. If you’re considering getting Gran Turismo 7, don’t bother. Enjoy your life and play GT4, and then the other ones after that. But mainly 4. Where else can one get a Daihatsu Midget with it’s own racing series?

    If your idea of fun is driving a Fiat Panda round and round in circles, over and over again until you can afford a "port polish", then this is the game for you. Not quite as tedious as the previous game, but still nowhere near as much fun to play as it ought to be.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love the game, it was my first ever game that I played on my own PS2 console when I recieved a silver PS2 Slim. I fell in love with it and played it alot with my nephew who is 1 year younger than me. How it looks and plays is pretty good, and the progression in Gran Turismo mode is amazing, you could grind a race over and over again to get cash, or redo entire cups to recieve a prize car you could sell, etc. There are many ways for you to progress on your own without any tutorial system of the game restricting you. The closest you get to the tutorial is the License Tests and it does quite an okay job at teaching the players specific stuff to expect within that class, but some of it gets challenging and it may or may not encourage players to strive harder to keep playing and attaining licenses. There may be flaws, such as the one lap magic missions, especially the last one, and a few false braking indicators here and there, but that's easily overlooked if you're looking for a Gran Turismo game that isn't restrictive, forcibly linear and has tons of things to do.… Expand

    Probably best game ever made, for a racing game at least.
    The graphics are incredible for the console, it can go to 1080i if i am not mistaken.
    The selection of cars is mind blowing, together with the iconic tracks.
    The only weak part of the game would be the soundtrack. Not because its bad, but simply because its so quiet that you barely pay attention to it.

    10 out of 10

    Gran Turismo 4 is a racing game for the PlayStation 2 that completely redefines the genre by providing an unmatched level of driving realism and content richness. My interest in the game was immediately piqued by its meticulous attention to detail, large car collection, and engaging gameplay. In terms of racing video games, Gran Turismo 4 is unquestionably a masterpiece.

    Gran Turismo 4's beautiful graphics are one of its best features. Despite the technological restrictions of the PlayStation 2, the game nonetheless manages to provide stunning images. Every aspect of the autos has been painstakingly modelled and faithfully reproduced. Few other games at the time could compare to the stunningly realistic rendering of the tracks in terms of realism. Racing in this virtual world is a genuinely immersive experience, and the visual fidelity further enhances that.

    Gran Turismo 4's driving mechanics are superb, finding the ideal balance between usability and realism. Because of these differences in handling, each automobile has an own feel. The handling is immensely enjoyable, whether you're drifting around turns or keeping precise control at high speeds. Each race feels like an actual motorsport experience thanks to the developers' extraordinary efforts to generate realism.

    The vast car collection in Gran Turismo 4 is one of its best features. There is a car for every racing lover among the more than 700 available from different manufacturers. The range is wide-ranging and includes anything from classic vintage cars to contemporary supercars. Each vehicle is faithfully replicated, both in terms of design and functionality, demonstrating the incredible attention to detail. Gran Turismo 4's car collecting and customization joys are unmatched and will keep you entertained for countless hours.

    Gran Turismo 4's career mode features a rich and interesting advancement system. Starting with a low budget, you progress through various racing competitions, collecting credits to buy new cars and upgrade your current ones. The different races and difficulties make the gaming interesting and new. The sense of achievement you get as you advance and open up new events makes every triumph feel significant.

    Gran Turismo 4 also has a remarkable attention to detail. The game has realistic weather effects, day-night cycles, and damage modelling, which adds to the realism. The soundtrack is likewise well-chosen, with a variety of officially-permitted songs that enhance the racing experience.

    In conclusion, Gran Turismo 4 for the PlayStation 2 is a true gem in the racing genre. Its stunning graphics, impeccable driving physics, vast car collection, and deep career mode make it an unforgettable gaming experience. Even years after its release, it remains a benchmark for racing games. If you're a fan of racing or simply appreciate finely crafted games, Gran Turismo 4 is an absolute must-play. With its unmatched realism and sheer enjoyment, it deserves a perfect score of 10/10 on Metacritic.    … Expand

    And what racing game has 700 different cars you can drive ranging from one of the first motorized vehicles ever from 1886 to a 2022 Nike Concept car from 2005.
    This was also the first Gran Turismo game to have most to all of its tracks be based of real race circuits. And was the first to have the full Le Mans race circuit and also has the legendary Nürburgring as a drivable track.

    One of the best racing games of all times. The nostalgia might be strong with this one, but to this day it still holds up. Just can't praise it enough.

From the kind of car you may have in your garage in real life, to Rally monsters of the 90's, and even LMPs, this game has a selection like no other of the era, and even a greater selection than most racing games today. The licenses help ease you into the games physics, giving scenarios to help you learn the feel of driving in GT4. But also have the silver and gold times for those hungrier for perfection. Then there is the simply unmatched number and types of events. Races reminiscent of a get together on a Sunday, to 24 hour endurance events, to everything in between stand before you. The 100% speedrun for this game is 260+ hours. That should give you an idea of the sheer amount of content. And even then, you wouldn't have used every car. So you can go start again, completing the game without a single car having been reused even once. No racing game, whether a part of the Gran Turismo, Forza, Need for Speed, or any other series, can possibly match the accomplishments of this game from 2004. 100/10, a must play for all.… Expand

    This game is pure perfection. If you're struggling in any way shape or form throughout the miserable journey of life, you need to try Gran Turismo 4. Specialists conclude that Gran Turismo 4 is much more helpful than trained therapists at supplying a coping mechanism for your crippling depression. Buy this game, and play it. You will not regret it.

    This game has aged like fine wine. There are so many ways to play and replay this for years and years. It truly never gets old for me.

    This game can look almost current gen thanks to the capabilities of modern emulators like PCSX2, which basically makes Gran Turismo 7 pointless.

    An absolute must-play if you enjoy realistic racing games.

    Whilst the game can offer a certain joy of ownership for a fraction of the cost, those who are not passionately interested in motoring in general won’t want to put the required effort in.
