Are you searching for a driving game that offers more than just
breakneck speed? Look no further than Gran Turismo 4. The most
recent installment in this amazingly popular racing game brings
realistic driving to a whole new level. With loads of new cars
and a vastly improved physics engine, you'll be ready to tackle
the roads in your favorite cars from the last century.
The Cars
Automotive history is at your fingertips with Gran Turismo 4.
You can select from over 700 cars, dating back nearly a century
to the 1915 Ford Model T Tourer. From the United Kingdom's AC to
Sweden's Volvo, you'll can choose from practically every car
manufactured since 1915.
Beyond the list of cars, GT4 sports a new and vastly improved
physics engine. Offering even greater realism than its
predecessors, the GT4 engine has been meticulously designed to
cover every inch and turn of your driving experience. Using
physics to calculate weight, speed, friction, and a host of other
nuances, every car delivers performance with its own unique,
precise handling and feel.
This game isn't just about the cars, though -- it's also about
the competition. The advanced, lifelike drivers compete with
fervor unmatched even by some of your video game buddies. Fueled
by the latest advances in artificial intelligence, your digital
rivals will react to your every move with behavior modeled after
actual professional racers.
It may take you weeks to test drive all 700 available cars, but
with Gran 4 you'll never truly run out of ""new"" vehicles. This
game is equipped with a multitude of options to customize your
favorite cars. Brakes, shocks, and engine components can all be
upgraded. You can stylize your car with wings, rims, and color,
and you can even change your oil. In short, you can do whatever
needs to be done to keep your car tuned and looking hot for the
next big race.
The Human Element
Gran Turismo 4 brings something completely new to your gaming
experience. In the stands you'll find spectators who comes to
life in 3D before your very eyes. They react with genuine human
emotions to your every move, cheering as you pass, and snapping
photographs as you cross the finish line. Your next pit stop will
take place as if you were really there. You'll watch the process
unfold in real-time as your crew rushes to change your tires and
refuel your tank. But that's not all. With the new addition of
convertibles, you are truly in the drivers seat. Your drivers
will react with precise and fluid motions, and turn just as you
would if you were behind the wheel. Gran Turismo has never looked
so unbelievably real.
The Courses
Not only does GT4 bring you the rare rtunity to drive
hundreds of cars, it also offers you a vast collection of actual
racing locations. Rip through the exotic Costa di Malfi in Capri,
burn rubber through the urban jungle of Hong Kong, or throw up
some serious dust at the Grand Canyon -- no matter where you
decide to race, you'll love driving any of the game's fourteen
tracks. Feeling nostalgic? With Gran 4, you can even race on some
of your old, favorite tracks from previous editions.
LAN Play
Compete against your buddies with the LAN play functionality of
GT4. Connect up to three PlayStation 2 consoles and bring
together up to six players in a racing frenzy that pits you
against your friends. Each console will need a copy of Gran
Turismo 4, the proper connecting cables, and all the standard
gaming equipment. Once connected, you'll be ready for a life-like
battle of driving abilities and mental toughness. With LAN play,
the action has never been more intense or more realistic!
