Grand Turismo 4

So who are those lucky people who got to pick it up today?

the game is pretty cool, i love the photo mode and how the cars backfire when you downshift.

the handling are the cars are so much different from gt3. if you countersteer on a powerslide, theres a good chance of spinning out. keeping your finger on the throttle corrects it a lot easier. im currently driving a supercharged 350z

one thing i didnt like is the ricer looking wings and the option to purchase NOS. but other than that this game is the **** and im happy that i got it today.

anyone else want to share?

Cash is not an issue in this game...In fact, they come so easily...
And that is one point that I don't like about this game

I remembered I have to play for hours to buy a car in gt3, the feeling of working hard for money to buy cars was great...

I reached about 50% or so without buying anything in the game ...

Broke the streak only because there's no prize truck to use in the truck race ...

yep! I played the same race over and over and over again to earn money in GT3

Now, you have B spec mode to play for you in 3x speed... and some of the prize cars just worth to much......



Here's a link that you guys may likeBut it's for the Japanese version though, I am not sure if it's the same)

I've found cash to be hard to come by in the beginning. $1000 per race doesn't add up quickly.

I'm making some $7500 per race now, but it still doesn't make cash easy to come by.

If the US version is the same as the japanese version:

you can play (if i remembered it correctly) the second race of the "special condition hall"
(which doesn't require a rally car or rally tires at all)
after 2 laps, you will get a prize car that can get you a lot of $$$!
