SWEET GAME!

Graphics are better than GT3, but the real improvement is in the physics and numbers of cars/tracks. I really enjoy driving the old nurburgring and Infineon raceway since I've actually driven it in person now. Very realistic rendering of the track.

I highly recommend it if you have a ps2, might even be worth picking up the system just for this game. I would.

I have not bought GT4. Yet.

I was visiting Laguna Seca in May of 2003. It was an off day, they had a sport bike DE. Nothing big, but very cool to see guys taking the corkscrew. You could tell when the instructors came around. They were fast!

Anyway, I went to the gift shop, and talked to the guy that was working that day. Somehow it came up that Sony had been there shooting footage for GT4. They had about 4-5 cars, cameras set up all over the cars and track, and a helicopter. He said they filmed for 2 weeks straight.

For the efoort they put into that one track, I'm sure the game has got to be awesome! Hell, I thought the first one was/is incredible as far a simulations go... :D

It's pretty fun, but not as much of an imporvement as i was hoping for. The selections cars is great, and the new tracks seem pretty cool, but i guess i'll just have to get further into the game.

Using a steering wheel with it set in simulation mode makes for the ultimate setup. I was a little let down when first using the regular controller, but the wheel is great and very realistic.

It would probably be better if they had the ultimate BMW in the game, huh Echo?

I rented it today to play on my friend's system and unfortunately he has no a/v cord for it right now. We are going to hook it up to his LCD TV and run it in 1080i resolution mode. It should be bad ass. Can't wait for Forza as XBOX trumps PS2 over and over and over in terms of processing power.

Bought it yesterday, and have already spent a few hours with it. I like it a lot, works great with the Logitech force-feedback wheel.

I was pretty excited to drive Sears Point, but quickly discovered that I could do without turn 2 (blind uphill right-hander where the car just won't turn). Also, keeping the Miata planted through the fast esses is kind of difficult.

Haven't tried Nurburgring yet.
