| | | I think I've been spoiled by tons and tons of arcade-style racers: while I sorta like the detailed handling here, I just have a hard time getting used to not being able to take hairpin turns at 50 mph, stomping on the gas without peeling out, and all that great stuff.
The kitting-out thing doesn't really appeal to me, since I know next to nothing about that stuff, but I do like city driving tracks. Finally got to drive the Seattle track from GT3 (it's still here) and was sorta underwhelmed--sure it looks nice, but they could'a made a much better circuit. Oh well. The other city tracks aren't exactly blowing me away; I would totally go for a Bizarre Creations game (such as Metropolis Street Racer) before this game, even if GT4 does have 7 bajillion cars.
The progressive scan support is shockingly and literally half-assed: you can turn on progressive scan in the menus, but most of the menus and the silly "camera" mode do not support progressive scan at all. So if you have a setup like me where your viewing apparatus does not just switch between progressive and non-progressive on the fly for you, you are in for an annoying time of it. Gad.
Oh, the soundtrack is really bad. I usually leave a game's music on, but I really cannot bear the horridly wretched rock music they licensed for this game; it's like they went out of their way to find the worst music in the world, and put it all into this one game. |
