so they are going to compare a "simulator" against a arcade racer?

[symbal]

I wouldn't call Psp Gran Turismo a simulator, without a career mode, tuning parts etc it just isn't a proper Gran Turismo and it is just an arcade racer with realistic physics, i got bored within 2 days and it's a blemish on an excellent series.

[osgeld]

well i used quotes around the term simulator, Ive (and im going to get a beating for this but whatever) never been a fan of the GT series becuase the "physics" never felt like they accurately represented what was going on in the game

you know your fwd mazda is doing 30 around a curve that most on ramps would laugh at, but the game seems to think your a drunken teenager with a mustang cobra
