    However, Polyphony Digital has not only delivered on their promise to make a great portable Gran Turismo, they have created the best portable racer this generation.

    A game we'd recommend to anyone who wants to have the freedom to collect all eight hundred cars present and to guide them on the many paths available while you are traveling by train or waiting for the bus stop.

    Gran Turismo PSP falls short of delivering a full experience. Polyphony Digital did an amazing job on the technical side of this game, but the glaring omission of a real career and the lack of car upgrades sinks what could have been a great title.

    Gran Turismo for PSP is a totally new game, one that is solely about the driving. No rush to finish the game, buy your favourite cars and go racing or drifting. With the limited purchase from 5 manufactures you experience cars you would have missed before. Passing the license tests does provide some new features but if you don't want, don't do it. The game never has you race anything you don't want to. It's brilliant, at first I was disappointed when I read what people described as a lack lustre game, but it is so much more fun without what one reviewer called the grind of career mode( he meant it positively). The game gives you total freedom with amazing cars, that's how it should always have been.… Expand

    Oh dear...Graphics? amazing! Physics? amazing! 4 cars on track? Laughable. No career mode? Despicable!! The reason I bought a PSP on release was for this game and Polyphony have made a complete hash of it. I'd rather have taken a hit in the graphics dept. to allow at least 2 more cars on track, preferably another 4. As for the lack of career mode...what were they thinking? probably something like ''lets not include a career mode incase it stops people buying GT5''.... well to be honest people would have bought both.... Idiots. Potentially an amazing game ruined by Idiotic decicions in Polyphony towers!… Expand

    I can't believe it took them this long to make the PSP version of GT. Nothing about it seems to work properly, the controls feel clunky. The races with three opponents are boring, and the variety of race modes is limited. If you need a GT fix, grab the PSX versions from the store. They may not be shiny and new, but at least they're fun.… Expand
