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.

In many ways, Gran Turismo Sport feels like a tech demo. Visually, it pushes the bar, with car models that are as good the real thing and environments better than ever before. And the lighting; holy hell, the lighting. It is glorious. In terms of content though, it's lacking.
A brilliantly done driving simulator, but without any serious single-player campaign to go alongside the online timesink.
Gran Turismo Sport looks great, but a lack of content, some dodgy AI, and an always-online requirement see it limp into the pits. Still, how 'bout them interiors?
Gran Turismo Sport purposely limits itself as it revolves solely around getting players racing online in various competitions. The VR gimmick and customization options are nice, but otherwise there simply is not enough here for anyone but the gamer that wants to turn video game racing into a potential career. GT Sport is a shell of what we expect from this series, and will disappoint anyone looking for any significant content in its offline modes.
Seeing as how even the online modes have weird time limits or aren't fully ready, Gran Turismo Sport is honestly not worth looking into at the moment. Maybe this will mature into a better racing game in the future (much like Driveclub), but you can presently get so much better on PS4 that I'm not sure why GT Sport wasn't delayed to add some more content. The ulta realism isn't enough to justify the cuts done to the core GT gameplay of the past.
If you're a die-hard Gran Turismo fan, or just can't get enough online racing, this would be a good pickup for you. Otherwise, you're better off with either of the other two big racers of the season.
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.
Gran Turismo Sport is a troubled game compared both to its rivals and even previous installments of the series. Developers have devoted all their focus on the multiplayer section and as the result, single player is undeniably poor in terms of content. Apart from all these, a short selection of cars and tracks, unrealistic physics and an unpleasant stiff gameplay put Gran Turismo Sport in 3rd place in this year's competition.

Gran Turismo Sport is the beginning of a new era for the titular PlayStation racing franchise, but some aspects should have been tuned further if they wanted to remain competitive. Unnecessarily convoluted game modes, a pointless photo mode, always-online connectivity, and terrible rosters of tracks and cars bog down an otherwise fun and immersive driving experience. Although this is easily one of the best feeling and best sounding racing games on PlayStation 4, other racing games are just more fun. And as a long-time fan of this series, that is the most heartbreaking of all.
Gran Turismo Sport is lacking in a true racing experience that prior releases in the series were able to deliver.
I want to love it, so badly and from a pure gameplay standpoint, this is probably one of my favourite racers in quite some time.
Gran Turismo Sport debuts on the PS4 without a number in its name, signaling a shift for this long running car racing franchise. While the simulation is still very good, and the presentation is top notch, the lack of content in both single player and online modes will leave most participants unsatisfied. With a full asking price and always-online design, all but the most hardcore fans should approach with caution.
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.
Gran Turismo Sport tries to be different from previous Gran Turismo games and offer something special. But the focus of game on multiplayer, leads to the lack of content in single player modes and besides that, there isn't enough variety in cars and tracks and this is another problem for Gran Turismo Sport.

Lacking single-player modes, constant internet connection requirement, and absence of purpose really made this game worse. Forza Motorsport 7 win the race in every lane.

I'm torn. Huge playability and super multiplayer versus absolute lack of content and incomprehensible ideas. If you are going to play multiplayer and you love to tear down a hundredth of a second in time trials - go ahead and try it. If you love diversity - try Project Cars 2.

The delicate and skilled operation of a high performance vehicle projects Gran Turismo Sport's utopian vision. Its factitious structure and inattentive principles remind the player that it operates in an unstable reality. Gran Turismo Sport lives in a world of sportsmanship and prestige and doesn't much care if would-be residents find its narrow paradise aloof and inhospitable.
Make no mistake – Gran Turismo Sport is fun to play and is a surprisingly fresh step (in a different direction) for the developers, but it feels like it comes at a cost for many reasons – the lack of variation in cars and manufacturers, the shallow depth in single-player (and even offline mode) campaigns, and even a lot of the tuning and adjustment features are missing from the game.
This new GT has many qualities, but it manages to disappoint its fans and to be very perfectible, especially on the thing he wanted to excel at: the online races.
