[AudiMan2011]

The best Gran Turismo. Seriously uncool.

 

[Anathema]

I still think the best Gran Turismo is the first, but this is the one I've played the most out of all 6 games.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I've probably* logged more hours on this game than any other.

I think you can guess what I voted as a result.









*It's a toss up between this, GT2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sim City 4, Lylat Wars, and Sonic Generations.

 

[All Your Base]

Best video game ever. Sub-zero.

 

[Jahgee]

Best video game ever. Sub-zero.

Didn't realize we were polling NASCAR Thunder 2004

 

[DurWinning]

Meh. I thought GT3 was better.

 

[Epic B]

It's cool, but I think I'd rather play GT3, even if it's lacking in cars. GT4 is just so big, and I'd never be able to finish all the endurance races. On the other hand, I could actually beat GT3, since the longest single race can be beaten in under 3 hours.

Last Gran Turismo I looked forward to, didn't like the game........ but it was the annoying delay of this game that made me bump into GTPlanet, so I'll settle it in the middle. Meh.

 

[The87Dodge]

It's a shame I got rid of GT4 before I registered on GTPlanet.

 

[Sage Ages]

It's like GT3, only not as good.

Slightly more uncool than GT3.

*It's a toss up between this, GT2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sim City 4, Lylat Wars, and Sonic Generations.

That's a weird one.

 

[Roger the Horse]

The best players are good enough that the game can't load in front of them quickly enough.

I can't even get close.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

If it wasn't for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, this would be my favorite racing game on the PS2.

 

[Sage Ages]

The best players are good enough that the game can't load in front of them quickly enough.

I can't even get close.

I got bored of it within a week. Might as well play the originals.


Now where were we?

 

[Grandea GTR]

Sub Zero from me, have been playing it for 10 years now! This game, along with the previous 2, were my childhood.

It practically set the core essentials of what a Gran Turismo game would be, and onwards.

 

[Legro]

My favorite Gran Turismo game.

Makes it almost 0.1% less seriously uncool, than other Gran Turismo games.

 

[ScottPuss20]

The game that started my love for racing games. Sub Zero

 

[niky]

Meh. It's just a game.

I've probably logged more hours on this game than any other. But at the end, all it did was inspire me to waste even more time and money on modifying and racing actual cars, write car magazine fanfiction, take up writing actual car magazine-type articles for the internet, and, finally, join a stupid car magazine.

Ruined my life.

 

[Liquid]

The Real Understeer Simulator

Uncool

 

[JR98]

THE BEST RACING GAME ON PS2 FACT (IMO)

Sub Zero.

ToCA Race Driver 3

Honourable mention to Need For Speed Underground 2.

ToCa Race Driver 3 is a very close second.

 

[Grayfox]

You got tire wear from the start.
You got fuel usage from the start.
Best way to start.

 

[Adamgp]

It was a decent game. Fun to play after having a few too many.

Low cool.

 

[daan]

It's a nerdy, geeky computer game.

Uncool.

 

[Korza]

THE BEST RACING GAME ON PS2 FACT (IMO)

Sub Zero.

ToCa Race Driver 3 is a very close second.

Enthusia is hands down the best racing game on the PS2. Period.

[Cano]

Videogame. Uncool.

Also, the one GT I could never finish due to my PS2 dying. GT5 was a piece of crap, and don't even get me started on the last one. GT4 was a truly good game.

 

[Wolfe]

Seriously Understeer.

After Gran Turismo 3, which was hot stuff right at the time when my friends and I were turning 16 and learning about cars, Gran Turismo 4 was like if someone baked a big delicious-looking cake but accidentally used salt instead of sugar in the recipe. It should have been great, but there was no chance in hell I could enjoy it.

Also, it walked all over Enthusia in sales (that was Konami's fault, too), scaring Konami away from making any sequels. You could say I'm a bit salty about that.
