Many appreciate the realistic driving experience and engaging gameplay, although some find the difficulty challenging. However, negative feedback centers on the lack of a comprehensive career mode and the requirement for a persistent internet connection. The limited content at launch was also a point of concern for some players.

One of the best racing sims out there, but...

I played a lot of racing sims over the last 20+ years. Started with Sega Rally, went through multiple F1's, Forza's, etc. But somehow, the Gran Turismo series always felt special. Maybe it was the superior physics which made driving cars in GT games more realistic than others, maybe it was the sheer number of available options, from racing small, lightweight K-cars, to LeMans super-vehicles, maybe it was something else... I'm not sure.
Approaching GT Sport I knew it was focused on multiplayer - online racing. I knew there were less cars than in competitive games. I knew that online reviewers claimed other games had superior realism. Nevertheless - I chose a PS4 over XBox in large part due to Gran Turismo.
The game never disappointed me. It does have a nice selection of cars spread across multiple classes/groups and brands. It does have great-looking tracks. It has nice realism of driving (especially on a Logitech G29 racing wheel, which I bought specifically for this game). It does give you a great feeling of accomplishment when you finish that "perfect race", or even a "perfect lap".
The only problem with it is, from my perspective, that it does not excel above all others in any one significant category. Among racing sims there are better-looking games, there are more realistic games, there are more fun multiplayer games, etc. - you get where I'm going. While overall this is a great game and it'll give you hours of fun, regardless of whether you play online or offline (the latter after a few updates), it left me with the slight feeling of wanting something more.
Plus, my 13yo daughter seems to have really liked playing it. :)

Got this game because I love racing simulators. Paired it up with the G29, and the experience is great. Graphics are great, and the game has an elegant sense to it. Makes you want to just sit at the home screen or visually inspect the cars. You also have to an active internet connection to play, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. The VR portion is amazing as well.

A lot of people don’t like that the focus of this game is online racing as opposed to some sort of career mode. No matter how you look at it, it’s still a fun game to play and daily things to do to keep you busy. And there are plenty of cars to choose from. Maybe others are being extra picky with the cars they want as others have said there aren’t many cars but it’s good enough for me. As for customization, this isn’t Need For Speed, but there are some slight modifications you can make like colors, decals, and adjusting the car’s settings to your liking.
Also if you enjoy just racing for the fun of it, how can you not like this game. If what this game is, is not what you’re looking, then I guess go and try out project cars or any other game to find what you’re looking for. But if you like the Gran Turismo series of games, you should like this game too.
The only thing I would recommend with this game and what I’m considering doing is buying a steering wheel to play this game as I imagine it’s easier to drive your car especially with tight turns. I imagine it would also be easier with using gas and brake pedals instead of just pressing buttons.

o enjoy this game, one has to first manage his expectation. First of all, this is not Gran Turismo 7. Many of the negative reviews wrongly assume that this is the successor of GT 5/6, which is not the case. This is the on-line, competitive, multi-player version of Gran Turismo. Secondly, while the off-line single player elements is being significantly reduced, you can still enjoy the game off-line in Arcade and Training mode. Right now, there is a limited selection of tracks and cars but more will be added via free updates. The game has recently received an update with more off-line content. The game now includes GT League, which is a much requested feature.
Personally, i would take most of the negative comments with a grain of salt. These so call 'Long Time Gran Turismo Fan' did not even realized that this game is marketed as an on-line racer right from the beginning? There is no reason condemning a game for what it is not. Would anyone give World of Warcraft, one star all because it is not a real time strategy game? They do share a part of the same title, don't they?
While the release may felt rushed and the lack of off-line content may be disappointing, the developer has been quick to address some of the issues and has even gone so far as to promise all free DLC. The game has already received its major update and there will be more to come in the following year. Believe me, there are still a lot of things to do off-line. Perfecting your time trial on each and every one of the tracks will take up a huge chunk of your life. Before you even realize it, the next update will be just round the corner.
That said, the game is polished and enjoyable. Controls on the DualShock controller is top-notched. Graphics are phenomenal and more importantly the races, both online and offline, are fun and challenging. If you love racing game this holiday season is a great time to grab your copy at a discounted price.

After being tired of the same old, same old GT with the same cars and tracks this one offers something different. Based on online play, there are new tracks, cars and game play.
This isn't the same old GT

The biggest con of this game is there is no GT mode. This is what I always loved with Gran Turismo, going through tournaments, unlocking better cars, and being able to save up for that one dream car you wanted. This game is worth buying though, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and racing with 16 others just blends together so well. Sound has hugely improved since previous GT’s. If you’ve been a fan of the series, I would definitely get this one

I think once all the bugs are out of it it will be a great game. If you are just a car collector this is not the game for you. This game is about driving and precision. Great graphics, great racing, it is what I wanted. Once they work out some of the bugs for online play it will be a time killer. Right now the server has constantly gone down for maintenance and because it is all online it makes it hard to play.

Good if you want to race cleanly online

First off - if you do not want to race online against other people you likely should skip this title. That is 80% of what it is. Or wait until you can get it for very cheap. This is not the GT games of the past with 1k cars and turbo mods. There are only 150 cars and it is about racing online with real people and racing clean... for me this is actually a positive.
Now if you like to race online this game has a great system to match you with racers who race at the same level as you (if there are enough people to race with) and it has a sportsmanship rating so you get ranked higher for racing clean. Promoting clean racing is nice.
The graphics are very good. Best in class for consoles or tied equally with others.
The FFB for wheels is pretty good - but the latest patch today reduced it a little but it is still pretty good. Better than project cars, but not as good as Assetto Corsa.
The could improve the options for camera views, but they have the exact same views they have always had but with new fancy cockpits. Really wish they had a proper dash cam added or FOV adjustment but hey.. this is Gran Turismo and PD have always been off in their own world doing things their way.
Overall I am really enjoying it and play each day if I can.

I love GT for teaching me how to drive fast cars and by getting a license and adding soon more cars and tracks. I give this high rating for originality and beauty of editing pictures real places with the car you like to model. 1 cool thing was the Mercedes made only for this game was made in real life for Batman, Bruce Wayne car to use in justice league movie. I saw it on YouTube.

It's addicting

If you're looking for a good old classic Gran Turismo game on PS4, then this might not be it for you. While this game is good for what it is, an online sports racing game, this is not the Gran Turismo we all know and love. I understand they are trying something new, and that this is called Gran Turismo Sport, and not 7, but I miss the old campaign mode. Now the campaign mode is just basically practice and missions. The real game is all online, which is cool and all, but it's just not as fun as the old Gran Turismo games. I will say that the online mode is addicting, because the racer in me just wants to keep getting better, but there are a lot of drivers that don't take the game serious and will basically mario kart your way out of the track. With that said there is still really good competition online though, and that's basically what keeps me going back. I want to win races, and prove to myself that I am worthy. So, this is a game that I will keep playing, I mean it is still Gran Turismo at heart, but it's far from perfect.

Yes, everything looks amazing. Better sound. Improved navigation, (mostly). If you are a serious racer seeking online opponents, this should be a very satisfying game.
However.... A game that gets an extra year to 'polish' and it still requires a multi-gigabyte update right away! Not a good first impression. Where are the cars, the tracks, the offline races, and the fun? Mostly all gone. At this point I regret speeding over $700 to buy a PS4, steering wheel, stand, and game just to play Gran Turismo. Loved the prior version. Really hope future updates/addons bring back the components I really enjoyed.

I bought the game to use with my PSVR and that party of the game is cool, although I was disappointed that you can only use the VR in one on one races. Otherwise the game is beautiful and the kids and I have been trying to it do each other on the challenges.

Been playing Gran Turismo since the first one and I'm still impressed with the series. Great cars, great graphics, great tracks, great physics, great music! This title focuses more on professional racing than previous ones, but it is refreshing.

Polyphony studios has done and amazing job of creating a true driving simulator that trumps previous efforts and plays at 4k HDR. Your eyes will be blown away, and with a driving wheel true driving nirvana. Don't miss out.
