I was blown away! I am way late to the ps2 party, but enjoyed the original GT on my ps1 a long time ago and I knew that GT4 was supposed to be amazing. But I didn&#8217;t realize just how awesome it is. The graphics are incredible!

It was tough to control, but the sound, graphics, and rumble made for such a nice experience. After I finished (in last place of course) I watched the entire race on the replay camera. Since I totally want a VW Rabbit, watching that car body race around the track was pretty fun.<\/p>\n<p>This game looks so nice, it&#8217;s almost reason enough to buy a cheap ps2 just to play it. Of course a ps3 would be better, but that will have to wait! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been borrowing a PlayStation 2 from my friend Chris for a while now, mainly to play FFX, but I popped in Gran Turismo 4 last night to check it out.
