Gran Turismo Sport Reviews
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.

Time will tell whether future updates will will go a long way to add some meat on top of the strong bones that make Gran Turismo Sport.
GT Sport's shift away from the normal structure of racing titles was a risky bet. It pays off for racing purists, but those who judge a game solely by the number of tracks, cars, and modes it has may be a little disappointed.
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.

With its excellent focus on online multiplayer supported with some innovative fair-play features and related social features, Gran Turismo Sport is a great choice for drivers focused on those aspects. For offline players and those that don't want to grind to gain access to an extensive collection of cars and tracks, though, there are better alternatives.
Polyphony Digital's choice to focus mainly on the online modes doesn't feel as a good way to promote Gran Turismo Sport, which might be fun to play and sometimes beautiful to watch, but fails to offer something really interesting when compared to competitors' racing experiences. Kazunori Yamauchi's latest project is definitely an ambitious project but it doesn't feel as a successful opera, due to the lack of what made Gran Turismo so appreciated in past iterations of the franchise.

And when the day comes that we can witness all the wonderful detail and beauty of Polyphony Digital's creation, via watching a replay of a crash-free online race set at night along the rain-soaked roads of Tokyo, this could become something truly special.
With GT Sports, the Gran Turismo series steers towards eSports and accelerates its transition to multiplayer online gameplay only. The solidity of its racing rules & regulations and gaming netcode will be fundamental for its success.

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.
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.
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.
Gran Turismo Sport is packed with details, and have everything for making it the best racing game of the year. But the lack of content is a bit of a let-down, and resulting in a game that never reach its full potential. Still a great racing game, though.

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.
Lets face it: it will not replace DiRT Rally with a remarkable off-road, or Forza Motorsport 7 with a ton of content. On the other hand, GT Sport is 100% unique in its aesthetics, for which Gran Turismo is loved, and this game is still recommended to everyone who is not indifferent to racing and cars as objects of culture.

Gran Turismo Sport aims to become the leader of the racing e-sports games. Without a classic career mode and with a calendar of online competitions that will offer a lot of races throughout the next months, this chapter can disappoint the fans of the series. Also, the starting contents are poor and are comparable to the GT Prologue ones.

We finally got a Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4, but looks like Polyphony Digital is making an experiment with the franchise. They bring to the table a great simulation engine, with graphics not as great as anybody would expect and most of the racing experience beyond an online gate. Not as good as it sounds.

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 is visually beautiful, but fails in delivering a limited number of cars and circuits when compared to other recent titles. Despite the fact that the carrer mode is missing, it is in the online mode that the game gets its great victory and reaches the first place. So, hit the gas and try to beat the other competitors in this good racing game of 2017.

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.
