Gran Turismo 4 for PlayStation 2

Gran Turismo has been a great series ever since the first game came out on playstation. I bought GT4 because I loved the how the series has progressed (and it was only $40 at costco.) The first thing that blows you away, when you first turn on the game is the graphics. They're simply amazing. This game really uses the power of the PS2.
But, Gran Turismo Mode is where it's at. This journey takes you through the life of a racer from beginning to end. To start off, you have 10,000 credits. You must buy a car, but you have your selection of over 25 real life cars! Personally, I bought a Mazda Miata, because I think it looks awesome.
On another note, the difficulty is extreme. The license tests are harder than ever and getting a gold is not an easy task.
Simply put, this game is the best racing game out there right now. Buy it.
