Classic Game Room HD reviews the first GRAN TURISMO game released for the Playstation in 1998! This is the 1st Gran Turismo and the one that started it all, created by Polyphony Digital for the Sony PS1 back in the day. A combination of a racing simulator and arcade style driving game, Gran Turismo had car licenses from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Aston Martin, TVR and many others. Buy cars, modify them with mufflers, computer chips and new transmissions, drive in a variety of cool races on well designed tracks like Deep Forest, Trial Mountain and Grand Valley. GT1 was revolutionary and exciting, fun and addictive. Although Sony and Polyphony outdid themselves on the PSone with Gran Turismo 2, GT1 remains a true classic worthy of playing once more. This Classic Game Room review of Gran Turismo has gameplay and footage from the game showing how awesome it is. As we eagerly await Gran Turismo 5 gameplay you can enjoy this original GT1 video game review. Classic Game Room reviews many driving games and loves to ask questions like is GT5 vs. Forza 2 a worthy competition? Which is better? How about Gran Tourismo 1 review and Night Driver? This Polyphony Digital masterpiece is a PSone disc worth owning.

They don't look real, but they do look better than the sterile realism of the current GTs. The PS1 games also had something the later ones don't: a sense of speed.

Amazing fact:The game required five years to complete. During an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, it was revealed that development of Gran Turismo started in the second half of 1992. Yamauchi added that at different times there were only seven to fifteen people assisting him. When asked how difficult it was to create Gran Turismo, Yamauchi remarked: "It took five years. In those five years, we could not see the end. I would wake up at work, go to sleep at work. It was getting cold, so I knew it must be winter. I estimate I was home only four days a year."[9]

I can't remember if it was 2 or 3 but was the first GT that was going to have formula 1 cars and they scraped the idea and the coding for those cars was still in the game. With the gameshark you were able to manipulate your cars and put F1 chassis with F1 grip on your standard cars. Was freaking amazing.

Also, i was the best "driver" amongst them, so i had to do the licenses for everyone (made most of them at the first try, so i saved a lot of time for everyone).

Christmas of 1998 I received a Playstation Dual Shock with an extra controller and Gran Turismo. Probably will be remembered as the best christmas the rest of my life. The year after that, getting GT2, was a close second I will say. Played the hell out of the first two and then once Forza debuted in 2005, I never looked back and enjoyed many hours of Forza 1, 2 and 3. The satisfaction of piloting the racecars in Forza 3 with ALL the assists turned completely off and the full manual gearbox is something to be experienced.

GT was the racing game that really started it all. Adding parts, setting up spring rates, etc, license tests, replays to take a breath and enjoy your success/failures. The Nissan R34, was it?, was a beast. Best game to play vs a friend until GT2 or Test Drive Hot Pursuit. The replays blew us away. For fun, see how fast you can win the toughest series...buy one car, I chose the Supra, and smartly do as few races/series as possible. Awesome game. I'm bruasGT online.

This game was SO many light years ahead of the other driving games of the era. A different planet. And you truly had to race long and hard to work your way out of the basement. I love GT5, but starting out with 20,000 dollars is too much. It's too easy to buy/build a ringer right off the bat. In GT1, you cherished ebery 5 hp mod you finally got, and noticed the slight gain it gave you against the AI cars. A legend.
