Gran Turismo 6... A whole new level?

The worlds most renowned racing game has to be the Gran Turismo series exclusive to the PlayStation platform. Making its first ever debut on the 23rd of December 1997 on the PlayStation One console, it delivered a whole new level of gaming experience. Back then, praised by critics, this game won many countless awards such as "Best Driving Game" or "Best Graphics" of year 1999 according to the staff of PlayStation Official Magazine. 

The BMW 6 Series is a typical example of a Gran Tourer

The latest iteration in to this ground breaking series is named, Gran Turismo 6 or for short GT6. Gran Turismo when translated from Italian brings the meaning, gran tourer. A gran tourer is a vehicle of high luxury or performance capable of spirited long distance driving and cruising. 



This game, GT6 launched on the 5th of December 2013, hits a gaming milestone of having 1207 cars, which is the highest number of vehicles in a game ever recorded surpassing Gran Turismo 5 which has 1074 vehicles. Being launched in 2013 there are many new vehicles featured in the game such as the Pagani Huayra, Range Rover Evoque, Corvette Stingray (C7) and many others. Not only does the vehicle count impress but the track and circuit count is also breathtaking. From circuits varying from Nurburgring Nordschleife, Germany to Daytona Speedway, USA this game provides an amazing experience to drive on ever popular circuits around the world. Special events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed was also incorporated in the game. 

Personally, I myself have owned every Gran Turismo game on the PlayStation platform and I can report that the differential between Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6 is vast. From the variety of vehicles, to the variety of the worldwide circuits, Gran Turismo also offers a realistic and dynamic driving experience that's close to reality. Developed by Polyphony Digital and assisted by members of the Red Bull F1 team such as Adrian Newey, an F1 engineering guru and Sebastian Vettel, a 4 time Formula One champion (2010-2013) Gran Turismo 6 offers a console driving experience like none other. Paired with the official Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel gaming accessory built specifically for this game, it delivers a gaming experience that surpasses any other driving game on the market. 

A whole new level you may ask, needless to say the very best out there for a truly dynamic and realistic driving experience.
