Gran Turismo Sport Reviews
Gran Turismo Sport will please fans of the series, but it's not going to win over those who have moved on. The team at Polyphony Digital have improved in some areas, but a bare-bones single-player mode that requires an online connection to progress sends it back for another unplanned pit stop.
Whether you want to race against the AI, do some challenges, take-on a friend in split-screen, spend hours getting the perfect shot in the photo mode, drive around the tracks in VR, participate in a season or race your mates online, GT Sport has you covered. If you have even a tiny bit of interest in racing or racing games, GT Sport is the only game you'll need this year. It's brilliant.

Gran Turismo Sport delivers a solid racing experience but can't keep up with the competition this year and suffers from the lack of a career mode and a questionable game structure for the series. If you expect a beautiful and beginner friendly racing game, you'll still enjoy it.

GT Sport is an ambiguous title. Game modes are very few, but rather well characterized. The absence of career mode is heavy, but the presence of other mechanics can somehow overcome the problem. Very interesting is the "photo-mode" that allows to photograph the car from different angles.

Gran Turismo Sport is a departure from the usual Polyphony Digital affair and presents a heavy focus on the online, one of the few aspects that is fully realized and delivers so far. The single player is what was damaged the most by the developer’s shift in priority. That is not to say it isn’t a decent game. Online players will enjoy it for months to come, especially if they plan on taking on championships and tournaments. For the rest, the tacked on single player will leave them disappointed, especially since provides a wonderful driving simulation experience. For a full retail priced game, it is hard to justify the purchase unless you know right away that you are going to be dedicated to the online mode. That is the only area wherein you will see the title’s true potential. For now, we are left hoping that a more traditional Gran Turismo installment manages to find its way on to the PlayStation 4 in the near future.
GT Sport is very good at what it’s trying to do; create a core racing esport on console, and to that end they’ve offered up a solid core.
Overall Gran Turismo Sport is an awesome game, but, for some, the always online rule is a huge deal-breaker.
Gran Turismo Sport is the most realistic online racing experience at the moment, it is also more geared for esports racing and also includes the ability to achieve a real FIA license, which is quite insane if you think about it. GT Sport provides all the tools to turn players into real racing drivers. There is enough content for driving mastery in the game, but the lack of tracks and the need to always be online is a little irritating, but if you have a solid internet connection then this will be a blast for you. Overall this is an excellent addition to an already amazing Gran Turismo franchise.
GT Sport is a bold direction for the series, one that many may feel at odds with. Having spent a substantial amount of hours with the game to this point I can say its grown on me. Players looking for the same old Gran Turismo experience will be left wanting, but if you embrace the multiplayer you will find hundreds of hours of top-class professional online racing.
While Gran Turismo Sport may not be the Gran Turismo some were expecting, it’s still a wholly enthralling racing game that wants to make you become a better driver along the way. The big question has to be whether it was a risk worth taking, to effectively divide its playerbase. For serious racing gamers, Gran Turismo Sport could be the perfect choice, but for those who want the ultimate offline racing experience, Sport may come up short.
GT Sport is the best racing game available on PlayStation 4, but it is also the most controversial chapter in the series, a strange digital experiment that sacrifices singleplayer career on the eve of online challenges and eSports
I can't really recommend this game to die hard Gran Turismo fans as they will surely be upset with the enormous downgrade of the content and its online-only direction. But if you're open to something new then Gran Turismo Sport is a really good game which will offer enough content to keep you busy.

You won’t find a more tightly executed racing game anywhere else, providing a fantastic driving experience.
Although we've been waiting for Gran Turismo SPORT for four years, the wait was worthwhile. The game is faithful to the series, even though it adds new elements to it. Although we have some reservations, nothing changes the fact that the new Gran Turismo is worth the price it and it doesn´t bring shame to its predecessors,

this is the Gran Turismo game that I’ve been waiting for
A sleek thrill ride that makes you feel like you could become the next Lewis Hamilton, GT Sport definitely takes the racing genre to new places, although it may take itself a little too seriously for some.
Gran Turismo Sport is a great driving game when reviewed in isolation. It’s got great racing, amazing visuals and stunning attention to detail which would make most petrol-heads froth. However, it also falls short when compared to its competition who boast more cars, tracks and just more fun. This ultimately makes GT Sport tough to recommend.
If you were interested in Gran Turismo: Sport, please hold off on your purchase until several important updates are available. It's a really great racing game worth playing, but not yet.
