Pros: Realistic physics, smooth frame rate, tight cars.
Cons: This game has forced me to compromise my rigid set of gaming morals.
Summary: Wife: "Honey, you were supposed to wake me up at 11:00! We were supposed to get stuff done today! Don't tell me you've been playing that game ALL NIGHT."
Me: "I was going to wake you up at 11:00, Gorgeous. It's only, like, a quarter after ... read more

Pros: Countless options, challenging races
Cons: Can't save to PS2 memory cards
Summary: First off, let me say that you shouldn't buy this game for a Playstation 2 unless you plan on buying (or already own) a memory card for the older Playstation system. You cannot save your Gran Turismo games on the Playstation 2 memory cards.

Pros: The realistic gameplay. It'll take you ages to complete. Great sound. Good graphics.
Cons: It's getting on a bit. Slightly dodgy A.I. No damage on car models.
Summary: Didn’t you just love the Playstation One? It was the games console of the 90’s, with the coolest and best games, nice graphics, and a very cool image. All your mates had one, so multiplayer was never a problem. It changed the face of ... read more

Pros: decent price, still quality game, great graphics, addictive gameplay
Cons: can't compete with future gran turismo editions
Summary: The Gran Turismo series may be in it's third edition, but if you are a bargain hunter looking to snap up a quality game at a knock-down price, then you won't go far wrong by snapping up the original Gran Turismo game from your local video game retailer. ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, especially the REPLAYS!!
Cons: I wish I could go off track...
Summary: The first time I saw this game was actually on a demo disc for the Playstation. I was pretty surprised at the graphics of the game, especially the replay. I bought the game not long after, and I raced with it for quite a while. I remember one time my Mom ... read more

Pros: A gritty racing simulation
Cons: Renown for its slick post-game replays; GT has surprisingly poor in-game graphics
Summary: In 1998, more than six years after aspiring filmmaker Kazunozi Yamauchi first pitched the idea to Sony, Gran Turismo was released. The innocuous driving game would become Sony’s best-selling franchise on PlayStation and forever change the façade of ... read more

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: a little dated, but god, how little does that matter?
Summary: Hey, fellow Epinioners, yes, it's been quite a long time between drinks for me, but I was somewhat busy and I really didn't have any product that I was interested in enough to review - and then one day it struck me, why not go back to the classics?? ... read more

Pros: Great Graphics, Real Cars, Cheap Price
Cons: Older Game
Summary: I bought this game because it was cheap, not really knowing what to expect. I knew it was an older game for the playstation and that a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. That was about all I knew.

I was still in college a couple of years ago when Gran Turismo came out, and one of my roommates had rented it on a whim. We spent the entire weekend thoroughly entranced with the game; our every waking hour was spent playing the fabulous racing ... read more

Cons: Replayability. The game fades a bit after a while!

Pros: great graphics, realistic
