    Every car in Gran Turismo is eligible either for sharing or for trade, and the former option lets you give cars to your friends without losing them from your own collection. Not all cars can be shared in this way, and those that can't--which tend to be those that are rare collector's items in real life--can only be traded on a one-for-one basis. Read more

    • Compelling car collection, Realistic handling on no fewer than 800 cars, Loads of varied tracks that offer different challenges, Good ad hoc multiplayer options, Drift...
    • No Career mode, Lacks online play, Limited tuning options that can only be saved for up to 30 cars.

    The Grand Turtle is just not a pick up and play experience, which makes it unsuited to a pick up and play system, but those of you committed enough will have fun collecting all the cars. It's not that it's a bad game, but I expected a much more balanced experience. Pros You can now take Gran Turismo on a plane, or a train, or on a boat or on a goat. Eleventy billion different cars...eventually... The racing is ok and the graphics are pretty enough. Read more

    Vapourware can materialise! While Duke Nukem Forever is still unlikely to ever see the light of day, Polyphony Digital's simulation racer Gran Turismo finally has. Originally, announced at Sony’s E3 press conference in May 2004, Gran Turismo 4 Mobile was meant to be one of the flagship titles for the upcoming PlayStation Portable. Already infamous for their penchant for delays, few thought it possible for Polyphony Digital to actually deliver this time around. Read more

    Technically, GT PSP is remarkable – right up there as a stellar engineering feat as God of War on PSP is. However in practical gameplay terms, you'll want to examine what you hope to achieve with your PSP racing before taking the plunge. With no career mode, no bolt-on car upgrades, no online leaderboards – the question we fear players might be asking after an hour or so is “why bother?”. Read more
