Gran Turismo is a racing game designed by Kazunori Yamauchi and is the first entry in the critically acclaimed simulator racing series bearing the same name. After five years of development time, it was well-received publicly and critically, shipping a total of 10.85 million copies worldwide as of March 2013, making it the best-selling PlayStation game. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose the courses and vehicles they wish to use. Winning races unlocks additional cars and courses. However, Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn different levels of driver's licenses in order to qualify for events, and earn credits, trophies and prize cars by winning race championships. Gran Turismo features 140 cars and 11 race tracks (as well as their reversed versions). Read less

Fun game when you’re just racing, with a nice sense of speed, but the mandatory license tests are difficult without really offering much to help you improve besides boring repeat trial and error. Granted, I don’t have a license in real life either, so it’s basically like the first time piloting the ship in Outer Wilds every time I play an actual “simulation” racing game. Probably ought to stick to games that are easier to handle.

This game is such an epic classic. Never forget trying to earn my licence. The music is super nostalgic too
