Unrealistic, but who cares? - By: Mick, 01 Feb 2008 
This was the first game I bought for my Wii, & having played Gran Turismo on a PS2 the physics suprised me a little. It has awful graphics, as I am sure I am the millionth person to point out, & much drifting. This makes the game is a fun playing experiance, as long as you don't expect a proper driving game.
If the music bothers you (it seems unobtrusive to me) I have a perfect solution - a radio. Or just turn the sound down & then you won't annoy your family.
GT Pro Series - By: AJLawrence, 02 Apr 2007 GT Pro Series is a great game to play & is really realistic, you could play for hours & you wouldn't get bored. Also you get a free stering wheel, so you get more for your money.The graphics are very good & it feels like you are really driving. Overall GT Pro Series is a super game & you should go out & buy it right now.
Very poor buy even with the free plastic steering wheel. - By: Mr. David R. Saunders, 02 Mar 2007 
Ok, it's been said to death but the graphics on this game are horrible, poor even for a Gamecube game. The sound is also pretty nasty too. Despite all this I gave the game a good go, both single & multiplayer but never really had any fun playing it. The controls aren't terrible but everyone who played my copy commented that they never really feltin control as you can't really "feel" the car. When i got Excite Truck this lack of feel on GT Pro series became all the more apparent.
I think racing games really require you to become immersedin the experience & with the graphics & sound grating your eyes & ears & a real absence of feel, GT Pro Series just doesn't do that.
I am sure there will be better "real car" racing games for the Wiiin time but I think it will probably be the "wacky" racing games such as Excite Truck & the inevitable Mario Kart release that will work best.
Unless you are a real racing game fan I would avoid this title & even then, don't expect too much.
Over-priced, but reasonably fun - By: PB, 09 Jan 2007 Reviews are usually 5* or 1* on Amazon. Middling reviews don't seem to happen too often. However, this is a fairly middling game for the Wii -- apparently a pretty straightforward port from a Gamecube game, with the inclusion of Wiimote support.
For that, though, it is reasonably fun. It does not require the player to go through a steep learning curve (one of the key factor'sin Wii Sports' success at least) & the gameplay is... OK. There is no AI to speak of on the part of other cars, so you just plough your own furrow & get on with winning. The drifting element is pretty good fun, but there is drift enoughin the "Racing" style -- "drift" style overdoes it. The game won't last too long as there isn't that much to get through (a limitation of the lack of a learning curve). There is a reasonable garage of cars & mods to win, a few tracks to crack... it's really a 3.5* star game, & for that, should be cheaper than it is.
What can I say? If you find it on offer/sale, it's not terrible & certainly a racer you can play when you have 15 free minutes rather than a whole night session for a PS Gran Turismo title. But let's be clear - it's notin the same league as Gran Turismo or Project Gotham Racing. The visuals are decidedly last generation (not a show-stopper, but you should know) & the game has a limited shelf-life. It doesn't really show what the Wii can do, but it's still quite fun as an arcade racer. The control system certainly bodes well for other arcade racers, like Ridge Racer.
Fun but not ground breaking - By: Beechy, 22 Dec 2006 I loved Gran Turismo on the PS2. Now (for me at least) it has a contender!
I like the cel shaded graphics & the steering wheel. It just shows what extra attachments you could have. What about a sword for twilight princess 2. Or a glove for punchingin a fighting game. The problem with this game is how boring it gets. Nice try though.
P.S. Can't wait for ridge racer Wii!
