Having bought the game (after reading about it on here) i figured id give my first impressions. Ive only played it for 20 mins so it will be pretty short but dont they say its the 1st impression that counts?.
I like the fact that i dont win $$$, and that i dont have to race the same race time after time early on just to make some $$$. I really like that take on the usual. I also like the fact that being a somewhat GT Novice (i consider myself that even tho i have played and completed GT 1&2 in the early days), it should show me some different racing lines, and maybe ones i can put to use over on GT3 and GT4.
I dont stick to the "usual or correct racing lines" so i think that may help me out regards the learning of all the tracks. I do think the license's may be a little easy on here seeing as ive already got the novice license (with 7 golds). Golds that i dont usually come across when i play GT. I dare say they will get tougher so maybe i should try those before saying they seem easier eh?....lol.
Winning gear is a nice touch, tho i dont know exactly how much gear there will be. The tuning area seems a little basic, and hopefully that will be changed in the next one, asuming there will be a next one offcourse. The sound and graphics and physics of the game is as expected........awesome. Maybe the tracks seem a little better on this than in GT??. To me it does yet to others it probably wont. I guess thats down to what tv/monitor/resolution is being used.
Also the auto photos thingy seems a good idea. Honestly i havnt seen anything in the pics that are took automatically which will stop me from doing my own in photomode, but again its a nice little addition. All in all for the 20 mins ive spent playing it im very very impressed. All that means to me tho is trouble as ive got GT3 & GT4 in progress and now this game also. Its gonna be a hard choice for me to make as to which game i play.
But id rather have that choice to make rather than not at all. If you havnt been and got it do yourself a favor and go pick up a copy. You wont regret it.

This sub-forum is quite dead I must say... But let me know if you need a few pointers in TT.
It does seem easier using the handlebars view rather than the default 👍 
That can cost you some races though. 
👍 In terms of game-play, for the equivalent price and content, Tourist Trophy beats GT4 Prologue hands-down... it's well worth having, and in my opinion atleast, TT is one of the most over-looked and under-valued games in the racing genre, if not in the entire PS2 catalogue...
), but TT is an essential purchase anyway.
