Okay, so you when you start this game the first thing you need to do is buy a car. You have enough credits to get a decent car like a Ford Focus or an Acura Integra. Once you buy your first car you can start doing some events. Some of the events include challenges like overtaking all of your opponents in one lap, time trials, and just regular races. Some races require a specific car that you will have to buy, so you will have to save up your money, but making money isn't really that hard in this game. There are 4 different classes of events, you will have to complete all the races in a class to move on to the next. Each class gets harder and harder and you will be driving more high end cars as you progress. Once you beat the 3rd class you will unlock a quick tune option which lets you tune things like horsepower or the weight of your car. Races in the 4th class are based off of performace points, if your car is too high you will have to do something like decrease the horsepower or increase the weight so you can enter. If you're not a Gran Turismo fan this game might get boring really fast.

There is also an arcade mode where you can create a quick race by using a car from your garage and choosing a track and the type of race. There is now a drift mode which is new to Gran Turismo, it's also pretty hard to get the hang of.

There is an online mode, which isn't that great, it's really laggy at times and you can't create your own matches and there is no lobby, so if no one is in the event you won't know until you wait like 10 minutes for it to load and then the race will start and no one will be there.

The graphics in this game just look amazing, every Gran Turismo always has great graphics. The menus look really nice too. The jazz music that plays during the menus fits really nicely. The car selection is good, there are about 70 cars which include Ferrari's and some low end cars like Daihatsu's and even some tuner cars. There is not that many tracks in the game, but there are still some good tracks like the High Speed Ring, Fuji Speedway, and a cool London race track.

So, if you're a Gran Turismo fan than you should enjoy this game but if you don't know anything about the series than you probably shouldn't buy this game.
