There Are A lot Of Pros That are just amazing so far considering it was released fully today, its still in semi-development that's why the cars aren't 100% identical to the real life ones, (e.g Alfa Romeo) Which isn't a Must More of a Small Detail, As well as the drivers still having their gloves on all the time, some other small details like the steering wheel and the shifting being a weird as well, but other than that its so far one of the best and is amazing compared to F1 22.

F1 manager 22 is a good game but there is a lot of room for improvement. So the good things; its great to have an actual engineer not jeff or marc who have had the same voice lines since 2014. The fact that its all licensed and not just Motorsport manager with mods is also great. For the most part graphics are pretty solid as well. Now the bad, the crashes are so not legit its just funny also the way the AI drives could use some improvement but IMO its not that big of a deal. Some small things like steering wheels not being representative of the real cars and when in quali/practice the cars just pull into the garage like its a house garage. Also just a quality of life change I would like to see is a way to shorten the races or just fast forward faster. Now onto the thing I think is worst, Crofty. Crofty's voice lines are executed very poorly it just sounds so bad. Karun Chandock is in the game and he does a great job compared to Crofty IMO. So F1 manager gets a 4/5 from me but it definitely has room for improvement.

The version released before the official release is full of bugs and very simple content. A game that had everything to be the best manager of all time, looks like another slot machine.

It should allow you to create a team in F3 and try to make it to F1, it would be majestic, it has so much licensed content on hand and it does something so shallow and simple.

Games from 20 years ago are still better in terms of management, this one only wins in terms of graphics.

I really like this one! It's not perfect, but the gameplay is actually really nice. The different camera angles really give an immersive feel. If they improve how the crashes look, it's a winner to me. 4,5 out of 5 stars.

P.s. multi pitstops work perfect for me?

For now, it is NOT better than MotorsportManager. Let's just hope Frontier will give us some patch.
And yeah.. We want some Mods/Trainers

This game have a lot of potential but it need more improvements to be a great game.

Overall Gran Turismo 7 is a top tier game, and I think it will only get better as it ages. There are some small hitches here and there, but the game overall has incredible polish, and plenty of content to keep us entertained until they start releasing new cars and tracks. As a long time Gran Turismo fan, this gets the seal of approval from me.

In short, I don't like this game at all, especially because there are the micro-transactions that I find extraordinarily shameful and discriminatory for live races. That's my opinion.
The progress is extremely disappointing compared to what was promised.
Incredible that after so many years GT7 is still so close to GT1, I can't understand the enthusiasm of the fans (fan who comes from fanaticism)?

I've played through every iteration of the GT franchise (even the PSVita version) and I can say that this brings me back to my all-time favorite GT3: A-Spec.

I love the story mode, with all it's oddities and smooth jazzy feel. I love the enormous time sink this will be, to get even close to 100% completion. I love that I can use my full-on cockpit setup with all my Fanatec hardware (of which none is compatible with a PS-anything with a %$5 3rd party controller and a $90 drivehub.

Is it a sim? Of course not, but it comes closer (IMO) than any other previous iteration in the GT franchise. If it had a fully customizable cockpit view and AMS2/RF2 physics, I would likely forget to eat/drink/shower for days at a time.

With all its flaws i still give GT7 a really good review it makes up from 6 and sport but it has alot of room to improve itself. It may not be the complete nostalgia trip i grew up with but it does keep me coming back.
ROOMS FOR IMPROVEMENT
-Qualifying for single player (it needs to happen)
-The option to add your own music (attach Spotify to use your playlist for menu and race)
-make every track have day/night and rain. (Needs to happen)
-better flag rules (full course cautions and pace car)
dont be hating on a game that just came out this isn’t battlefield 2042 updates always comes

I got it on the 4th and got all the licenses and today I got up to book 12. Still do not have Daytona, my favorite track. The whole storyline is OK for some but not me. I think developers should offer more than one version, one for people that want to go through all that BS and one for others that just want to get into it. I have been doing sims a long time and don't need to take a driving test. Kinda wish I had not spent the 60 bucks.

What can I say, it's definetly great and don't hesitate to give it a try

the game in general feels like a gt sport remaster with campaign DLC. I found myself bored with the repetition of the same tracks and cars from gt sport. stopped playing within 10 hours of gameplay.

EDIT: This review is outdated, but will remain as it was accurate to my feelings at the time.

Gran Turismo 7 is excellent. Probably one of the best games of the last few years.

First off: I'm playing the game on a PS4 Pro. It runs beautifully and looks amazing. Complaints about it not looking "Next-Gen" enough are absolute nonsense. It's a beautiful game using the best of what Next-Gen has to offer to make car lovers go absolutely nuts.

The current car selection (on release) of 424 cars might not reach prior heights of Gran Turismo, but every car is on the same level of detail, no standard or premium models here. Cars look lifelike and absolutely beautiful, with detailed interiors and amazing exteriors.

Graphics improvements from GT Sport are felt almost immediately in the much improved antialiasing and lighting. Even without Raytracing the lighting is breathtakingly beautiful and makes each Track feel alive.
All the better that the track selection is great, making racing both fun and visually pleasing.

The driving model improves from GT Sport, making it nicer to narrow down your driving style. It's forgiving if you want it to be, but can also be made fairly realistic.

The introduction via the GT Cafe is a bit long winded, but introduces you nicely to the basics of Gran Turismo. I'd appreciate an option to skip it, but it's fine as it is too.

Microtransactions are present, but non-instrusive and a case of "If you don't want them, don't buy them". Driving cleanly earns you a 50% bonus on earned credits anyway, so if you learn to not just punt the AI out of the way like you're in Forza you'll do fine money-wise.

EDIT: This review is outdated, but will remain as it was accurate to my feelings at the time.

The much anticipated Gran Turismo 7 has finally released, and I get the sense that the franchise is actually living up to the hype for the first time since GT5 or even 4. If you're an adult who grew up on this series you're probably going to like 7, and if you're a newcomer to the series you're also probably going to like 7.

The new look GT mode's primary feature is the GT Cafe, which serves to give you missions to complete throughout the campaign. It's a more linear game than we're used to seeing, though it goes retain GT's traditional open-endedness in the form of additional races and activities not tied to GT Cafe progression. Beyond this, the old mainstays of GT mode are all back, from tuning parts, to a used car yard, to oil changes and car maintenance, as well as a few improvements to said features, such as the largest selection of visual customisation options yet.

A big and much needed change to races in campaign mode is the inclusion of difficulty levels and removal of rubberbanding. Whilst the races are still catch the rabbit style, the thrill of the chase is greatly enhanced by having a harder mode and not seeing the lead AI suddenly go 10 seconds a lap faster just because you're in 1st. This will tide me over until Sophy is implemented in a later update.

As for online, Sport mode makes a return largely unchanged. This was the highlight of Sport, so little change to the iRacing-lite formula was necessary for 7. There are however new features here, such as the launch week races having specific power and weight limits that players have to build their road cars around. Custom lobbies also remain available.

However it is important to point out that your options are limited at first; many features are locked until you've made some GT Cafe progress, and some circuits won't unlock for free play until the mid to late game. This could be off putting for sim racers who are used to sandbox style games and/or career modes segregated from free race options. But if one is willing to treat GT7 as a journey and enjoy slowly unlocking content rather than fret too much about a destination, you should be able to have a lot of fun with this game, and whilst it's not perfect, I believe GT7 is indeed excellent, hence the 5 star rating.

It's not the old good "GT" I was expecting. The career is quite good but the rest is still the same like in GTS. Not a true nextgen game.

Definitely the best WRC game yet..!
Have completed 5 seasons in the career mode and loving it!

I hate the game. Under the coat of flashy visuals, it's boring and repetitive.

The game that wanted, the game that promised, the game that bugged off.

I didn't plan to buy FH5, as I felt it was a map-expansion to FH4, and way too costly. But when every other in my local group of gaming-friends bought it, I wasn't able to resist. (weak me).
I put in way more hours than any of my friends as I knew I would work a lot the next couple of weeks. So when I write this, I have 33 hours in-game.

It still feels like a map expansion, as the game takes the good parts from FH4, and the first expansion, merging it with Mexico. Some cars are missing, but not as much missing as other numbered sequels (yes The Sims, I am looking at you).

When the game works, and especially in convoys with friends, doing racing and fun shenanigans around on the map, it's really fun. It's good for sharing a laugh and cool stuff. We haven't experienced much issues in convoys either. Except from surprisingly many times where not every car loads in. And the occasional "Hey, everyone are just standing still" bugs in races. Those have been rare in 30+ hours of gaming though.

The one bug that is worse than any other, is the "disconnected" bug. This bug just stops your car at a blink of an eye, and you lose every kind of progress you had. A hotfix was rolled out during the early play for premium buyers, which would fix this. Well. It removed the message for "disconnected" - which didn't make sense, as every time that message came, the online racing worked fine, we could all see each other in the convoy etc. So what was disconnected, we never know.

The message was removed, the bug is still there. It's irritating at the best of times. But when one accolade you need is to score a 2million skill points chain, then a sudden random stop with no error is just game-ruining.

The bug is proudly presented here:

It sadly ruins any kind of fun experience when stuff like that happens. To channel my inner Sebastian Vettel... "Honestly, what are we doing here??"

The game has proper potential. But needs urgent bug fixing, an addition of some cars and the first expansion to the game should be larger than in FH4.

Now that the title with increased wheel support actually supports wheels on a PC, I have upgraded the review score to 4 stars. I am now positive I will spend hundreds of hours in this game.
