CVG: Gran Turismo PSP Review
58
CVG writes: "If Gran Turismo PSP was a race car, it'd have go-faster stripes, a fat exhaust and an engine that roars like it wants to take off. But it'd spring an oil leak off the start line, bellow smoke all over the place and fart its way over the finish line.
This is Gran Turismo. The big boy. The game that should define PSP. It's been in development for absolutely yonks. Now we've played it extensively we find ourselves wondering what Polyphony has been doing with it since 2004 because this is not at all the game we expected..."

You're such a hypocrite.
I don't recall you having any issues with PS3 fanboys invading EVERY Forza article claiming "PSP GT will be better because it has 800 cars".
I guess PS3 fans are allowed to troll all they want without being called out by you, but if a 360 fan trolls, suddenly it's outrageous.

1.13 - As usual hypocrisy runs wild on N4G
Case in point tatotiburon.
Funny how you bring up Associate Contents (a site mind you that has printed it's share of negative PS3 articles) review of Halo ODST.
The even funnier thing is fans of the series saying so what it will still sell bucket loads. Is that all people care about anymore is reviews, sales and PR spin this generation?
Seriously do you honestly think, like Halo ODST, regardless of how it (GT5) is reviewed it wont sell bucket loads (Not GTPSP but the PS3 version)?Just look at ho GTP sold and it was labeled a glorified demo.
That is what I mean by hypocrisy. Fanboys without question are the biggest hypocrites I have ever run into. You b!tch about the things you yourselves are guilty of.
The only review I care about is my own.
The only comparison I care about is my own.
The only sales I care about is the number 1. The 1 I purchase and play myself. I play video games and not sales or reviews. <--Sorry but THAT game is played out.

I'll put it this way: find me a better driving simulator on a handheld. Because as far as im aware, GT PSP is the only one. And the career mode was the only real gripe people are having with it.
And to answer the question from #1, polyphony have been working on GT5. GT PSP was originally GT4 mobile. Most of the coding was just taken from gt4. I doubt they've spent 5 solid years just on this psp version

I have a PSP so Im concerned. This game sucks according to the reviews. Now that I say that this game sucks, which is only the truth Im trolling ?? LOL
Second, the game is getting 6's across the board from REAL gaming sites not fake sites run by fanboys like the one that reviewed ODST (well the at least the reviewer is a fanboy)
How is saying that this game sucks is trolling ?
If it had got good scores ok then yeah saying the game sucks is trolling.
So saying a sh*tty game is sh*t = trolling ???
Someone who says Too Human is sh*t isnt trolling, he's simply saying the truth.
Or are u saying that just because its a Sony game ?

How do reviewers miss that, and review it as if its a full single player game?
They've known it wasn't going to have a career mode day one. So why review it for not having one?
At all the expos you knew:
- No career mode.
- No Story mode.
- No upgrading
etc,
yet at the review you compare it to GT4?

I knew CVG and other sites wont spare this chance to slam a Sony exclusive as GT. LOL, it's very funny.
I feel many are forgeting that GT psp is just GT on the go. If you are a race enthusiast and have a PSP, GT should be on your library not other portable game offers a similar experience. It doesnt have a career mode but who cares, the real deal is GT5, isn't it?
@cdogno bellow
Most probably they didnt because GT psp was designed that way. Party game (it will sell huge in Japan) and a quick GT fix on the go.
I find laughable, some xbox fans are all over this as this game is somehow representative of GT5. Talk about delusional.

I was hoping GT PSP would be the definitive PSP racing title, bit crap that it's not, Polyphony had a long time to get this game right, even if it was a straight port of GT3 it'd still be awesome, it is a shame that they haven't. I know this is only the first review, but from what they've said, I'm not expecting much from the others.
Just gotta pin my hopes on Motorstorm now, hopefully it'll rock!

7 - OK, no need to get all butthurt.
Plenty of games didn't live up to the expectations, on all systems. Halo 2 and 3, SOCOM: Confrontation, Too Human, Haze etc., It happens, let's just move along. I bet it's not the last surprise of this kind this season.
I realize there are millions of GT fans and that's why probably so many are disappointed - but come on, people are acting like it's the only game out there. If you bought a PSP just for GT, I can tell you you've wasted your money even if this game got 10/10.
Once again, we are victims of hype. This game flopped and now it's the end of the world. This same site gives 9/10 to Motorstorm:Arctic Edge and no one cares, the news only reaches 10 degrees on N4G.

@van
I dont agree about "flopped".
You fail to see that PD designed GT psp as a different game, it's not meant to be a full GT game, just an unique sim racer on the go
"It's easily the most realistic handling we've seen in a PSP driving game, and all this is done at a silky smooth 60 frames per second which, on the little screen, looks lush. That's why screenshots and trailers had us all excited. But great handling and a smooth frame rate aren't the only important factors of a racing game, and GT PSP falls short in almost every other area."
Above quote describes exactly why GT psp is worthy if you are a car enthusiast/gt fan.
You are on the go, play GT unlock a car and then when you arrive home make the car available on GT5, play GT5. Sounds good to me.
BTW, I'm a bit disappointed on my fellow PS3 owners. I guess they had a lot of expectations for GT psp, that doesnt make sense. Save your hopes for GT5.
@bellow
I dont think any career mode will be added later. Why is so hard to understand GT psp is just GT Mobile, on the go?
It wont be a commercial flop cause in Japan alone it will sell a lot.

7.3 - ^ Maybe I need to clarify:
I didn't say it was a bad game, I said it flopped. By that I meant it got bad reviews. And because of reviews it won't sell as well as it could have. A good game can still be a flop - it's just a word. Some like to use "underrated" instead of flop. But GT series was always held to a VERY high standard, which it set istself. This game should have been nothing short of PERFECT. Everyone can argue about physics, models, damage, customization and you'll see the difference of opinions. When a career mode is missing - it's a fact of a glaring oversight that makes people (reviewers and fans) wonder why a common feature (that has been around since consoles learned how to save files) is missing from a flagship title.
My personal guess, is that the missing feature will be added later, possibly for additional cost. But from all the reviews I've seen today, this game does not give off an impression of a huge success. And first impressions are sometimes very important.

I get the sense while reading this tard's review that he completely missed what Polyphony has been saying about what kind of racing game PSP's GT is supposed to be.
It's a handheld! Handhelds aren't bound to living rooms where you can do a 24 hour endurance race or a championship run. Thus Polyphony altered their purpose with THIS particular GT to cater to people on the go with a finite battery life and established a game more for fun and quick bouts of racing than a fully fleshed out racing sim.
It seemed every negative comment he had about the game in some way relates to this ignorance.

If you unlock cars in the PSP version you get to use them in GT5.
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...
So that means that you aren't suppose to have the career experience in the PSP version. Just play it on the go then use the cars gained in GT5.

They are simply responding the the legions of pathetic PS3 fanboys like you who loved to compare PSP GT to Forza 3, and now it's come back to bite you guys in the ass.
Funny how after all the "PSP GT is better than Forza" comments, most of those fanboys are in hiding now.
It has nothing to do with finding things to say about PS3 because PS3 fanboys started this arguement, and now they realize they have lost big.

I still believe gtpsp is better than forza 3.
Seriously, is there any other racer this serious on a hand held?
No, so it's bought.
These reviewers will feel pretty silly if Sony adds gt5's career mode via cross link to the psp.
Even if not. Big deal forza is still only on xbox360 & last time I checked there is no xbox hand held.
