GT4 is the latest racing simulator by Kazunori Yamauchi. It is a higher form of interactive entertainment that points to a future of almost frightening depth. It has a level of graphical detail that belies PlayStation 2's ageing innards.īut the fact is GT4 transcends the notion of video game. It features hundreds of cars, a myriad of racing tracks and locations, more configurable options than a custom-built TVR.
