I could never wrap my head around why the worst game in the series handling wise, well apart from the first GT game, always got such good reviews, sure i love the variety, but if you compare things like the offroad physics to GT2 and 3, youll find that cars are literally incapable of oversteering for one, and no matter what you cannot keep the inside of a corner unless you have the escudo, I understand that gran turismo is by no means meant to be a true simulator, like GPL for example, but I just cant understand why polyphony had to screw up the physics so bad, and why this game is considered the holy grail of racing games by many, because it is not, GT3 is better in literally every way aside from quantity, it just makes me sad that still to this day, nothing in the series has come close to GT2, and GT5 XL, the latter, unfortunately got a bad wrap because it re-used visuals from the PS2 games, but when i comes to playing a game/sim for the physics, i could care less if my cars are rendered as 2d sprites, as long as they feel nice to drive. i just hate that my playthrough has been totally ruined by those awful special condition events, even dirt and snow tires feel like racing slicks on a frozen lake, i played a little bit of RBR and Dirt Rally 2.0 to confirm my suspicion, and alas, GT4 is THE WORST handling game in the series, I bet it feels more bearable with a wheel, but by no means is this game doing anything better than gran turismo 2 and 3 ever could, if you avoid one game in this series, GT4 is the one to skip, if you like your driving to feel intuitive, even if its not realistic, you wont find it in GT4, you can set the car up and get something close to playable, but nothing will ever be as good as enthusia or even the prior games in the GT series
and in enthusia's analog controls are terrible, even with a wheel!
