I have fond memories growing up of watching my brother play Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. I never got into the series myself, but when 7 came out I decided to give it a try myself after having only played some of the games here and there.I like 7. You can tell the team really likes their cars. I'm not a car guy myself, so a lot of the nuance is lost on me. I don't really mess with the tuning or anything, it's all nonsense to me. I just like collecting cars. There's a ton in the game, and they get doled out pretty regularly.

I'm not totally impressed by the single player content, but they've added a bunch of events and tracks with post release updates, and now it's a pretty robust offering. The driving feels pretty good and leans more towards the simulation end of the arcade-sim bar. I'm more of an arcade fan, but the racing is still fun. I wish the AI raced a little more instead of being stuck on their line, but GT has always been more about time trials and the driving experience than the actual racing.

Verdict: Timewaster
