GAME REVIEW: GT SPORT, PS4
Strap yourselves in for the high-octane thrill that is Gran Turismo Sport. The GT franchise is known as one of the best in the business for creating authentic ‘real-life’ driving games and its newest instalment – available on Playstation 4 – is no different.
With more than 160 cars – from manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar and Mercedes – to choose from there’s plenty of range, and 17 locations including Brands Hatch, Nurburgring and Suzuka to race them around.
Online gameplay is without doubt the focus of the game, with the Fia-sanctioned Nations Cup and Manufacturer Fan Cup tournaments forming its centrepiece.
However, those wishing to spend most of their time offline will likely be disappointed with the lack of a single-player campaign, which mostly consists of an in-depth tutorial and arcade mode.
Graphics are once again stunning, right down to the minute details and the menu interface has been improved, providing a more refined game than its predecessors.
The handling of the cars is improved from previous instalments, as you would expect, and there’s more of a challenge for those gamers wanting to test themselves, with the AI more aggressive.
GT Sport will put you in the fast lane, whether you’re a casual gamer or wannabe racer.
