GT Pro Series

"A clone of Grand Turismo... badly."

A low and poor score that is only held up because of some "Wii" elements: Don't get me wrong, it's still a decent game by it's own right.

General Overview
Grand Turismo, except on Wii with Championship and a couple of other modes. Oh, and a little steering wheel as well. Made out of plastic.

Graphics- 5/10
This is the huge letdown. It graphics are extremely poor. Something you would expect on a N64 or a PSone. Games like this has been made better. Stick with Grand Turismo; you'll get better kicks out of that. The graphics are just a shameful letdown, and you'd rather drag your PSone or PS2 out of that dusty cupboard and play it again.

Controls- 7/10
Normal "Accelerate, Brake, Handbrake, Gear up/down" controls. Nothing new, nothing old. It's just the same old thing, except with “A new Wii steering function.” Don't use the Steering wheel if you can: It stinks like hell. It nearly screwed up my Wii remote.

Sound- 8/10
It reminds me of Initial D you know? The music and the atmosphere that sets it up… the only thing that comes close for it is the actual Initial D arcade game. And the Initial D arcade game is better. Yep. But this is still good. Sound tracks include some very good music that closely fits the track that you're playing, but you're still not happy with it completely until you've played Twilight Princess on the same platform. Its orchestrated music that would make you feels enlightened. Anyway, enough of that… I'll put that in my TP review.

Game play- 7/10
It won't allow you to be awed, but it will allow you to stay on track for a while. I fully expect most of you to be completing this game very quickly, because only of a few different settings. Tinker with it a while, and bring it out if you are really bored… just don't expect the same level of stuff that has come from the amazing GT series.

Overview
It's good, fun, and very easy to entertain, but it's not really worth your money. It's lucky I got this for free, but again, not many games can get love or hate. This is a bland game, which didn't get enough attention on it, unfortunately, so it should go back to Ubisoft and redeveloped. Ubisoft has a good reputation, but a couple more games like this, I might start hating them.
