Our Review
The good

- Amazing visuals
- Decent track learning tools
The bad
- Limited career mode
- Vehicle and track options lacking
- Disappointing VR mode
- No dynamic weather or time of day
Summary
Gran Turismo Sport is a mixed bag. Featuring the most detailed vehicle handling in the series, supported with impressive visuals, polished presentation, and an online component which can be addictive. Players will lose themselves in the Sport and Circuit Experience modes to shave off precious tenths-of-seconds. However, vehicle and track selection leave a lot to be desired, as does the lackluster audio. The single-player campaign feels like a shadow of its former self, and the inconsistent online penalty system can lead to some frustrating moments.
