My brother has GT4, but hasn't touched it in a long time, so in my recent hunger for good racing games, I decided to pick up where he left off. Suffice to say that I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cars, events, and things to do in this game...they didn't call it the Real Driving Simulator for nothing.
Getting used to the realistic physics will be difficult after playing NFSMW for so long.

the DB9's a good car. and by the way... i got all the licences. even the special. to the game 90% completed. there was 2 24hr endurance races and the F1 car series i didnt do.
but you should start it yourself. there's no honour in takig over a half completed game. the start's where the challenge is.

must say though... two things that annoyed me. one i that 2 was the only one with Venturis in. and they made the VX220s absolutely apalling handlers. the handling is one of those cars greatest strengths, yet in GT4, the understeer like nothing else.

I know I should have played from the beginning of the game for the "full" experience, but I'm having enough trouble where I am, and don't want to make it even worse...plus, I don't want all my bro's effort to go to waste. Besides, he's only 3% complete, so it's not like I'm skipping half the game or something.
Anyways, just to get a feel for the driving physics, I decided to do all the B License tests, even though my bro already has it. And man, this game definitely isn't "pick up and play" like NFS...

Nope. And my current one is almost full. Also, it doesn't help that GT4 has one of the largest save files of any PS2 game I've seen.

I've got that game, and am currently trying to go the "minimal-buys" way. I've also managed to earn all the license golds up to and including the I-A License, as evidenced in my photo collection at my DA archive...

XD I only got a few silvers for the B License and all bronzes for the A License. I'm still having trouble with basic cornering, although it's better than hopelessly sliding around like when I first picked up the game...
BTW, is there any difference between buying tuning parts from your car's dealership and buying them from the Tuner Village?

my first car on GT4 was the Toyota Sera. it was the gullwing doors that swung it for me. actually served me quite well.

First car that I can remember using was the Isuzu Piazza, of all cars. Still haven't gotten it to drift though. XD So far I've pretty much gone with whatever I could win and see where that went.

GT4 is awesome. I'm not hardly finished with it. But yeah. o-o If I didn't know the Ferrari in that video was from Gran Turismo, I'd have thought it was a real car.
EDIT: Wait, Tracker? Did you say you can download your photos to a USB cable? Is that only on an internet-ready PS2?
