It may be the greatest racing series of all times based off of sales and fans, but it is not even close to being actually one of the best racing SIMS. It was great until Forza came out, and as far as physics go the GT-series was blown out of the water. GT4 was arguably one of the worst (if not the worst) in the entire franchise based off of physics and realism, IMO, and as a result I won't be buying it. The cars lack any and all feel, drive like boxes, and I laughed my ass off when I watched people trying to do burnouts and just drove in circles. That was the final kicker for me. I sold my PS2 and GT4 after that and bought an Xbox 360.

At the same time, though, the GT series has features that I would kill to have in Forza. Those are having that many tracks, and the fact that the opposition changes every time you do the same race over again. Neither of those features are available with Forza, and it's definitely annoying. I like the idea that there will be that many cars on the track, too. Assuming they fixed the terrible physics that GT4 had, it has the option of being a damn-good game. I think they'll focus a lot more on it now, too, since Forza is out. They aren't the only one racking up huge sales, anymore, and they have competition.

At the end of the day, though, GTR2 blows them all out of the water. lol
