    Someone help.

    Im locked in a basement and I'm forced to write this review. Im about to be shot, so ill make this quick. This is an amazing game. All of the cars were beautifully modeled, compared to the first two games, where all of them were just a bunch of pixels. The tracks are increased, giving more uniqueness in the game. You can race on Sarthe, Nurburgring, Suzuka, and ov

    This is an amazing game.
    All of the cars were beautifully modeled, compared to the first two games, where all of them were just a bunch of pixels.

    The tracks are increased, giving more uniqueness in the game.
    You can race on Sarthe, Nurburgring, Suzuka, and ov every track around the world.

    Driving licenses return, and its more challenging then the previous one. Its more harder.
    Youre gonna have a hard time beating them if youcare not careful.

    The graphics are a great improvement.
    Nuff said.

    I hear someone coming.
    Sorry guys.
    If you don't hear me within a few minutes, them I might be dead.
    I think i can hear footsteps.

    I'll come back to finish this review.

    Las personas siempre suelen hablar de GT2, GT3, GT6 pero sorpresivamente jamás hablan de Gran Turismo 4, ustedes podrían imaginar que tal cantidad de vehículos, de efectos, de música, de pistas, de modificación, el despliegue visual y la jugabilidad exquisita que tiene este juego corra en una PS2? jamás se hubiese pensado. para mi el mejor juego de la saga. Perfecto

    GRAPHICS! THESE GRAPHICS! Best racing game you can find. Year 2005? Are you kidding me? Best racing simulator, there is no other. License system, good old unlocking cars and 24 hours events. Beautiful.

    Quite honestly my favourite game ever made. I played it again recently and there is still nothing else like it.

I played it again recently and there is still nothing else like it. Of course, modern driving games like GT6 and Forza 5 have better physics, graphics and a better selection of cars and tracks but they lack something compared to to GT4. I believe it is quite simply the layout that makes this game so special. The world map containing every dealership, race course and race event is a fantastic idea and I am still yet to see a game layout that can live up to it. Of course though, a game is not all about the layout, it's about actual gameplay, which GT4 also nails. It was comfortably the most advanced racing game for a number of years and got the very best out of an ageing console. Another thing I love about this game is the rate of progression and it's sheer length. A lot of racing games allow you to jump into some of the world's fastest cars almost right from the off, whereas others take so long before you get to drive anything good that it almost takes the fun out of it. GT4 gets the balance perfect. The way you have to start by earning all of your racing licenses and gradually working your way up to unlock different types of car for different types of races is something that makes this game amazing. It is a game that is incredibly challenging to complete to 100% and that is another reason why I love it so much. Easily the best game I've ever played. A solid 10/10 Expand

    Gran Turismo 4 is quite possibly the best game in the franchise. It pushes the PS2 to it's absolute limits. Hundreds of cars available for you to drive on real and fictional tracks all over the world. Absolute recommendation for everyone who has a thing for cars and video games.

    The fact that this masterpiece of a racing game that came out during the boom of the racing game genre, is ONE measly point away from being a universally acclaimed game critically, deservingly so, hurts me deeply. There is no better sim racing experience that has been duplicated by other game to this very day. You will not experience the feeling of winning a grueling 24 hour of Le MansThe fact that this masterpiece of a racing game that came out during the boom of the racing game genre, is ONE measly point away from being a universally acclaimed game critically, deservingly so, hurts me deeply. There is no better sim racing experience that has been duplicated by other game to this very day. You will not experience the feeling of winning a grueling 24 hour of Le Mans while taking turns with an AI driver nowhere else. You will only get 700+ vehicles if you played GT4, GT5, and GT6, or Forza Motorsport 7 and Horizon 4. There is no better menu atmosphere for a game like this one; there is no more iconic opening to a game, and no other game that lets you test drive the very first patented car ever: the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen. It is all here, in a PS2 DVD disc.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a masterpiece of a racing game. Like Need for Speed Underground and Forza Motorsport 4, this is a bonified classic that will be enjoyed for generations to come. This is well worth coming back to when you want to play PS2.

    Quite possibly the greatest racing game of all time, needless to say. The amount of attention to detail, cars, tracks, career mode races were truly remarkable. No Gran Turismo game has ever reached the same heights of superiority over the racing game genre, and some newer entries of the series can’t even match this near 20 year old masterpiece for single player content and cars.

  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.
