Polyphony Digitals Gran Turismo set the standard for modern racing games around the world.
Although many PC racing games featured realistic simulation style handling, Gran Turismo was one of the first console games to bring simulation style handling to a home console. This was a result of the increased computing power brought about by the Playstation generation of hardware.
The game featured about 170 cars and 11 race tracks including two real world locations.
It also featured a robust car modifying system that allowed players to upgrade their cars performance in a number of ways.
The original Gran Turismo featured mainly Japanese cars. Although the cars featured were not instantly recognisable to players in America and Europe, it didnt affect the popularity of the game in those markets.
As a result Gran Turismo is one the biggest selling games on the Playstation and has spawned a number of succesful sequels.
