Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy it a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

The Sportsmanship Rating breaks down though with how points are tallied. If there is a collision, both parties are punished no matter who is at fault. In theory, if you're actively trying to avoid accidents, your rating should raise no matter what.

Visuals push the PS4 to its limit; Interface is clean and easy to use

Single-player unavailable when not connected to servers; Small amount of cars and tracks in comparison to peers; Tags

Gran Turismo Sport is the series' first outing four years. Was it worth the wait?

Some of the best visuals in any game to date; Reworked campaign mode actually teaches you how to race; esports-focused online mode encourages great racing; Some of the best sound design and editing in any game

Always online DRM can be a huge pain if your connection is spotty; Lots and lots and lots of missing cars; tracks; and features

Don't settle for less 'cause then you miss out on more.

Gran Turismo Sport is a curious beast. While it will undoubtedly appeal to the millions of fans it has accrued since the series' inception in 1997, it's also very clear that in terms of evolution, Polyphony Digital isn't necessarily all that worried about taking steps forward.

A true driving simulator; Racing is better than ever; Each car is painfully unique; GT is finally on the PS4

Doesn't look great; Not a lot of content; Feels like a missed opportunity

As soon as you hear the first piano note you know you're about to watch the introduction video to yet another very delayed Gran Turismo game. With Kazunori Yamauchi still at the helm, the presentation is pure class as you see every picture perfect car drive by showing off the beautiful lighting...

PSVR support is superb; Solid 60FPS; even during replays; Great showcase for 4K and HDR on PS4 Pro; Big improvements in the sound department

"Sport is challenging for the human mind and spirit! Sport is fun! Sportmanship is important and good. To be bad is not good. To be bad is not good sportmanship..." The little instructional video that launches the Gran Turismo Online Championship is bad. Really bad.

Arguably the best Gran Turismo ever in terms of the driving, and definitely in terms of the graphics, but a lack of content keeps it from getting up to top speed.

The best handling model outside of a hardcore racer and amazing graphics and attention to detail; Significant improvements to AI and sound design

Some serious content issues, with too few online modes and a radically smaller number of cars and tracks compared to previous games; The whole game is virtually online-only

In many ways, is the most polished Gran Turismo game in over a decade. It looks great, feels great, and what's here has been carefully and well executed. However, while I can forgive the sprinkling of eccentric nonsense, the lack of car and track content really hurts, and the online-only nature of...

Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital has slowly developed the series' online component through the years, but now it's focusing on online play. GT Sport goes beyond the predominantly single-player past of its numbered installments, but doesn't go so far as to carve out an entirely new identity.
