The game encourages players to become better drivers through the new ‘Sportsmanship Rating’ system, and looks to usher in a new age of competitive online racing. While the game may have its downsides when it comes to online connectivity requirements it’s still a familiar feeling Gran Turismo title under the hood. TheSixthAxis gave Gran Turismo Sport an 8 out of 10, calling it a near essential purchase for any racing fan on Playstation 4. The new ‘Sportsmanship Rating’ that increases for good behaviour during races, such as not crashing and good overtaking, is a great system for matching good players with other good players, helping them to avoid those who seek to crash all the time and ruin other people’s fun. However, the handling of each vehicle feels far better and more realistic than ever before, adding real weight when required and a sense of urgency in high-speed races. A number of the cars seem to be returned versions of the same model, and while there is an argument for quality over quantity, it’s not as if the competition is rendering their vehicles in MS Paint. Luke Reilly for IGN gave the game a 7.5 out of 10, saying that the lack of weather variants and a smaller range of tracks puts Gran Turismo Sport at the bottom of the pile of this year’s racing game releases. IGN: “GT Sport looks great, feels good, and the online racing is well done, but it’s just not as complete as its competitors.” A lack of variety in cars and diminished lineup of tracks add to this disappointment, making fans feel like half of the game is missing.

Offline only Arcade challenges and VR mode can be played, and players must be logged into the Playstation Network in order to compete with others online, or play the trimmed-down single player campaign. The fact that Gran Turismo Sport requires players to be online for all but one of the game’s activities is a huge shift in accessibility. The game has 80 ‘positive’, 20 ‘mixed’, but 152 ‘negative’ reviews, with a common thread of complain throughout. On Metacritic the game received 76 out of 100, with 20 ‘positive’ and 13 ‘mixed’ reviews from press outlets, but the user reviews are far more worrying. Some outlets have yet to give their official review score due to the lack of online cups and tournaments, which will begin on November 3rd. As such the core feeling of Gran Turismo has shifted in this latest title, leaving many reviewers disappointed with what they’ve received.
