There is no question that Gran Turismo 4 was one of the greatest racing games from the 2000’s decade. Gran Turismo 4 came out for PlayStation 2 back in 2004 and was one of the few racing titles from its era that help put the genre itself on the map during its time period. The forth main installment of Gran Turismo had everything a hardcore racing fan could ask for in a video game including a vast collection of cars from different eras along with a rewarding career mode and various race tracks to choose from. Gran Turismo 4 was also one of the few PS2 games that had 1080i display which was impressive to see in a video game back in the mid-2000’s. The amount of content featured in Gran Turismo 4 is the main reason why its replay value is so high especially because of all of the unlockable cars and licenses that players had to work for within the game. Gran Turismo 4 had over 700 cars with more than 50 race tracks.

Gran Turismo 4 had cars from just about every manufacturer you could think of like Aston Martin, BMW, Bentley, Buick, Honda, etc. Gran Turismo 4 ended up becoming a massive commercial success similar to its ’01 predecessor GT3 by reaching more than 11 million copies sold worldwide on the PS2. Gran Turismo 4 managed to compete with the likes of Need For Speed Underground 2, Burnout 3: Takedown along with Driv3r and outsell its competitors which was pretty big deal. Gran Turismo 4 is a racing game that diehard fans of the series have wanted to see remade for over a decade now and its unlikely that it will ever happen. Even though, Gran Turismo 7 came out back in 2022 there are many people who would prefer GT4 despite being released 20 years ago. While Gran Turismo 7 his riddled with micro-transactions where its almost unplayable GT4 has a much higher replay value despite having inferior graphics.
