    Where to start with Gran Turismo 7...The game generally has beautiful graphics, runs decently whether if you're on PS5 or not and the game has a decent amount of cars, not to mention the single player campaign FEELS like GT. The Tuning and customization are endless with various cars having Wide Bodies, which is pretty sick not gonna lie. If you are not playing

    Very realistic sometimes comes with consequences in driving but plenty of ways to learn to play the game, has some small details that are very neat. Very detailed plethora of cars and customization.

    I never expected to sink into Gran Turismo. I bounced off GT Sport, but there's something special about the new edition. The form, progression, and driving experience that keeps me playing.

    Bought this game to drive the Civic Type R FK8. Got it with ingame money, no real money required. The rest of the game is great, will happily play this for the coming years.

    Una oda a la cultura del automóvil. Cuidada experiencia no solo de conducción, sino de todo el juego como la parte de coleccionismo. Muy divertido.

That being said, why the hell are there microtransactions of this caliber tied directly to the progression of the game for a 70 dollar price tag? Why is this game banned in Russia? The citizens of Russia don't want war. They just want to game like everyone else. This would of been the best GT in recent memory but the microtransactions and predatory behavior ruin the experience a little bit. Also i can see this game being very boring for controller players after a while. Its amazing with a steering wheel though. Very immersive. Good game but predatory behavior ruin it where have we seen this before? Expand

    I feel like I must have bought a different game to everyone voting negatively?
    You buy cars with in-game credits, you earn credits with in-game races, just like always. The only microtransactions I see are to buy extra credits, if you don't want to buy them; don't!

    As for needing to be online, I never actually noticed this, but then again, I always am online so I guess this could negatively affect some people, but certainly not most.
    Can't play this game in Russia? ha, good!

    Anyway, now onto the game.
    It actually has a different career format to previous games, it kind of forces you to do specific races to win specific cars. I wasn't the biggest fan at first, I liked having a wider variety of races/championships to choose from instead of a more linear path. However, it grew on me, it meant I had to drive different sorts of cars, in different sorts of conditions.
    Another side was short races that resulted in winning a car, you win a race, and get a car? Seems a little mad, but honestly it's great for those people who love collecting cars, and there is a lot of focus on that in this game! There's a new feature of earning collectors points, which add up every time to win or purchase a car, so there's clearly a lot of emphasis on it!
    The tuning shop it brilliant, I always enjoyed tuning up cars in previous games, and this time round it feels even better, especially with being able to feel the changes made whilst driving, given the response from the haptic-feedback controllers.
    Livery customisation is great fun! You can design yourself a sleek, subtly faded colour design for your car, or go all-out on decals and create a crazy looking racing machine (or a 180mph billboard plastered with a ton of advertisements and brands if you so desire).
    Short one on the tracks and the cars themselves. These are great. Nothing more to add, they are just great!
    Graphics look incredible too!

    Overall it's a fantastic game, and I would say all the negatives to it are either nitpicking, or very situational. Definitely worth picking up, even if the price may be off-putting for some, perhaps games wouldn't be so expensive if we all didn't love them so much?

NOTE, YOU CAN RUSH THROUGH THE DIALOG. GT7 is very similar to previous GT titles especially GTS. racing is very challenging and fun, forcing you to become a better driver, GT7 is more of a simulator now. you collect cars, do missions, license tests, and race competitively or for fun online. the menus i did NOT find clunky, infact i can fly through the menus like i used to in sport or even previous title without hesitation. loading is pretty quick, and collecting is fun. customization is really cool, paint changes and visuals are amazing.. QUICK VERDICT : this is classic Gran Turismo with improved Sport elements this game is every bit worth $70. tons of races and challenges PSN IS : x-Otsego

Jogo maravilhoso, melhoras na física, melhoras gráficas, rodando liso a 60FPS, reflexos bonitos, o clima dinâmico mais bonito e bem feito que já vi em simuladores de corrida. Cumpriu tudo que prometeu, principalmente trazendo informações sobre carros, marcas, designers, motores e peças, qualquer um que não tenha conhecimento nenhum sobre carros irá sair do jogo sabendo que aprendeu algo, por mais mínimo que seja. Cada detalhe do carro foi feito de modo fiel a realidade, ao ver o farol do Civic e comparar com uma foto real já se nota o quão longe um jogo pode ir, e foi o o GT7 chegou. Expand

    Is there any pay to win in this game? Yes IT IS!! The perfect Racing Simulator! Except this goddamn pay to win aspect.

    The perfect Racing Simulator! Except this goddamn pay to win aspect. After completing the Main Cups there aren‘t good options to gain those ingame credit/ and the game invites you to buy some specials cars for a limited time. The point: these cars cost about 2-4 millions of these credits!! By playing the World GT Cup which costs you around 2 hours of pure racing time you just gain around 400k of those credits. The Game lets you choose between two options: Grind your ass off night and day or pay 20€ for 2 Millions of credits. It‘s a shame for a 80€ game because instead of this aspect the whole game is masterpiece on it‘s own!! It‘s just a shame. How dare you, Sony.

    Update: there was an update so i have to downgrade my rating to 0. they massively nerfed the methods to earn credits via race. **** you Polyphony.

    Update: They announced an April Patch that saves the Game. You will be able to sell cars, earn twice as much credits than before and raised the max Credits Limit for Free Credits, new Events, Cars and Tracks coming soon. Keep it!!

While there is still the question of single player content being behind an always online connection, if Polyphony can operate those servers so I am never reminded of it's always online structure or locked out of playing when I want to jump into the game, then I'm ok with it.

    Original: If there was any question the economy of the game was set up to push people to buy overpriced credits from PSN, Update 1.07 should make it painfully obvious of this fact. Polyphony nerfed what was already low credit payouts for races. Couple this with almost all of the single player content needing an always online connection and this effectively kills what good feelings I have with the game.

    Great gameplay destroyed by terrible decisions.

I lost all appetite to play this game post patch knowing that I need to grind for 20hrs to buy one single legend car, so maybe I need 2000hrs to buy 100 legends cars?! Ain’t nobody got time for that.

    The core of the game is really good. Have bumped my score back up to reflect the latest round of changes about earning money. It's now possible to at least earn *some* money and put a dent in buying a car.

    El 0 viene de la vergonzosa decisión de la conexión permanente y las 36 horas sin poder jugar por la caída de los servidores. Una vergüenza

    Update 1.09 is a step in a good direction. Revising my review to be more in keeping with the overall beauty of the game with less emphasis on the microtransactions as a deal-breaker. Ready to get back to racing.

    Where to begin. The game itself conveys the automotive experience well, from the story to the correct driving and cornering. However, nothing revolutionary happened to the graphics. It has improved slightly compared to the GT Sport. For micro-transactions. It's good that they returned the prices of cars to their place, so it will not be necessary to farm for long loans.

But they have already undermined their reputation. I think GT 7 is a good game with nice graphics but not revolutionary. With well-developed driving mechanics, physics and history. Beautiful cars many tracks. The impression of the game is good, but they ruined their reputation. This game should be given one more chance to make it right, I'd like to see in Metacritic strong 8.

    This game is so disappointing in every way outside of driving. The AI is horrific and the races are all a sprint from the back. Barely any newer cars with the majority being 5+ years old from all the major brands. Don't expect to drive any new Prosche, BMW, AMG, Ferrari, Chevy, Ford and so on. My biggest gripe with Forza Horizon 5 was the lack of new cars, but this one takes the cake.This game is so disappointing in every way outside of driving.

    The UI is horrendous for a current game with a lot of clicking to move around. The avatars that interact with you look like stolen clip art and very unoriginal. They have never ending dialogue and the cafe owner wants to lecture you on cars every time you try to get new races.

    The music is also a mix bag of annoyance, Final Fantasy and 32-bit golf. Why did they feel the need to remix classical music as digitized jazz? It will then flip to a modern song which is jarring. Forza at least offer channels so you can decide what genre to listen to.

    The game has also become a live service with all of the trappings of loot, real money for in-game currency and prize wheels. Why do I have to sit through a long, drawn out animation, to see what prize I get.

    Both Sony and Polyphony should be ashamed of this game and where it has gone. They took a series that was 100% about cars and racing and made it 10% of a bunch of modern garbage. Spent all the money on ways to make more money and not on the heart of the game.

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
