    Gran Turismo 4 is the last great entry in the series before the downfall.
    Gran Turismo 4 was a lot of fun back in 2005 with lots of cars, fun challenges and improved driving dynamics.

    Gran Turismo 4 was a lot of fun back in 2005 with lots of cars, fun challenges and improved driving dynamics.
    It is now having a second life thanks to emulators and mods.
    It is certainly behind modern simulators when it comes to physics, ai or engine sounds, but the core GT mode experience is still something that is missing in most racing games, in fact it's missing in Gran Turismo 7.
    GT4 has the best selection of racetracks, mixing fantasy and real life circuits.
    This is the perfect mix of realism and fun in a racing game.

    One of the best graphics based on the hardware it was released. This game is just perfect in almost all aspects.

    This game and a ps2 is the cure for kids with psychological cancer from playing mobile games full of gambling mechanics and microtransactions. Here they grind for a currency that means something about their dedication and personal development, and does not exist to manipulate them into stealing their parents credit cards. Yes, I'm old and nostalgic, but that makes Gran Turismo 4 no less good.

    Gods Gift to racing games. Why the **** this game hasn't been remade, rereleased or remastered is beyond human comprehension.

    DO NOT read the negative reviews of this game. Most of not all of them were made before this game came out. This game was truly ahead of it's time. Incredible graphics, a deep car roster, races ranging from easy to challenging and the best gameplay for a racing game ever. There's no racing game before or after this that's better. Truly the GOAT

    Gran Turismo 4 is by far the best Gran Turismo game in the series, along side Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo 5, and Gran Turismo 6.
    I do enjoy them a lot, even GT Sport is a good game (minus the Online Only part).
    Don't get me started with Gran Turismo 7 though.

    10/10 for Gran Turismo 4, best racing game of the PS2 era (along side some others too).

With running on slowly aging hardware, GT4 blows all expectations out of the water. Hundreds of cars, rage-inducing license tests, and memorable tracks. GT4 is definitely one of a kind in the history of all racing games kuruKEK Expand

    Absolutely amazing game, there's no other racing games out there that expresses why people love automobiles as GT4, videos games are art and this game proves why.

  1. 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.

    Some professional race drivers even use the incredibly life-like tracks in this game to prepare themselves for the real thing.

    Blows by the competition like it was sitting on jack stands, and is the new high-water mark by which all other driving games will be judged.
