Well, just bought it and i am getting ready to start it up. Just thought i'd start a thread. One thing i didn't realize until now is that they removed online play :mad: .
However, the guy at EBgames said that they have the abilitiy to hook up to other ps2's and plan in a LAN. He also said this company came up with a way to jerry-rig way to play over the net using the LAN function and their custom software.
Just thought i'd give yall the link.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, Gran Turismo 4 is out today?! I thought that was delayed for like another 6 years or something...
I want it so bad. I've got it pre-ordered and waiting at EBgames. I've got 4 exams this week though. GT4 probably wouldn't help with them

Hold ulp, i thought it wasn't released until tomorrow, how did you guys get it early?
Pre-orders ship on the 22nd. That means you can pick it up at the store on the 22nd if you pre ordered.

i didn't pre order, i just went in and turned in 5 old games and got 30 bux off of it.
However, i after 1 hour of play am sorely dissapointed. I have high hopes, so i am not giving up yet. I hate the interface (quite confusing), and i have only played with a supped up skyline and i can't stand the handling. However, i still have to tweak it...so i still not forming a strong opinion.
However, i did like that i could import my licenses and 100,000 credits from saved files of GT3 on my memory card. I just wish i could import my garage full of cars.
all right! I won't have to get the s license again. That was hard.

sorry, you can only import A and B licsense, not Ia Ib or S :( Gatta get those all over again.
Well, instead of waiting till my exams are done this week, I went and picked it up today.
What are the a-spec points? Do they get you anything? I imported 100000 bucks and bought the 69 corvette stingray.
Picked it up the 23rd, its worth the money. I cant stop playing it.

Bought it yesterday off a whim. Decent gameplay, physics system takes a while to learn, B-Spec Driver feels fun. Imported 100,000 credits from GT3:AS. Rockin the muscle cars. :headbang:

I picked it up yesterday. I'm a big GT3 fan and this has many improvments like more tracks, cars and race types. I also liked the fact that I could import credits and my a and b licenses. They also improved the distinction in engind sound, it even changes based on your exhaust and other upgrades. I don't like the sound track as much and the should have worked on multi-player a bit more. Other than that, it pretty much rocks :clap:

Well i rented it friday and was pretty disappointed. Its still a great game, but since they cut a lot out again, it wasnt as good as i was expecting.
On a side note, i also rented metal gear solid 3 and thats just a horrid game.

I can't wait for Forza to come out so I can do a side by side comparison of the two.
