Gran Turismo Sport looks set to kickstart a new era for Polyphony Digital's long running series. In partnership with the FIA and with an officially sanctioned esport set up within the game, the series' self-description as a driving simulator is something of a misnomer.

Looks simply fantastic; especially in 4K HDR; Great evolution of Gran Turismo's handling model; Well thought out multiplayer matchmaking; Tons of tiny details to help your driving; Some of the best original GT tracks yet; Scapes are truly impressive blends of reality and digital cars

Lacking single player Campaign; No dynamic time and no wet weather at launch; Still no launch control or realistic assists settings; VR Tour is a missed opportunity; Server connection requirement for saving

GT Sport may look and feel like Gran Turismo, but it's a very different beast under the hood. In place of an extensive single player campaign and an exhaustive car roster, developer Polyphony Digital have established a professionally sanctioned esport-focused racing platform under the watchful eye...

A demanding racing sim that doesn't sacrifice accessibility; Professionally governed multiplayer offers something unique among racing games; Refined and nuanced driving physics; Cars and tracks look and feel gorgeous

Light on content; Sportsmanship ranking system feels temperamental; Internet connection required

In many ways, is the most polished Gran Turismo game in over a decade. It looks great, feels great, and what's here has been carefully and well executed. However, while I can forgive the sprinkling of eccentric nonsense, the lack of car and track content really hurts, and the online-only nature of...

The first thing players will want to do is go into the game's Driving School. Even if you're an experienced digital driver, you'll still want to go to class to get several cars and valuable in-game currency as a reward for going through its tutorial lessons.

Great tutorial; Absolutely gorgeous to look at; Top-notch racing

VR is tacked-on as an extra despite being the best way to play; Single-player content is light and non-interesting; Can't play most of the modes offline

Sony's racing exclusive finally arrives on PS4, with some of the best graphics on the console, but is it a better game than Forza Motorsport 7

The best handling model outside of a hardcore racer and amazing graphics and attention to detail; Significant improvements to AI and sound design

Some serious content issues, with too few online modes and a radically smaller number of cars and tracks compared to previous games; The whole game is virtually online-only

As a kid, I was never a huge fan of the Gran Turismo games. At the time the cars and tracks looked awesome and realistic but I was never a fan of realistic driving so most of my time was spent trying to wall ride and cut shortcuts across the grass to win races. I didn't do well.

Fantastic Sounds; Very Impressive Visuals (Scapes Mode FTW; Easy Access For New Players

Missing Classic Functions Of The Franchise; Light On Car Manufacturers; Always Online Mode Isn't Good

Gran Turismo Sport represents a focal pivot for the series from single-player to online. The result is a great-looking racer with excellent driving, but little to separate itself from the pack.

Visuals push the PS4 to its limit; Interface is clean and easy to use

Single-player unavailable when not connected to servers; Small amount of cars and tracks in comparison to peers; Tags

Some are declaring the PS4 VR a bigger failure than the PR and Marketing firm representing this game. I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4 VR. Please note you can play Gran Turismo Sport without the VR headset.

Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy it a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

The game really made me dizzy and sick. Too much moving around in VR mode
