Sound:
The first time my young nephew heard Jeff Gordon’s NASCAR racer with my 7.1 surround sound system, he started crying. It sounds like a lion! So now he prefers to drive around a Prius, because that sounds more like a little kitten.
Each car’s sound is obviously meticulously detailed to sound like its real counterparts, and it shows very well in design and execution. Brake sounds are also well done, and screeching tires burning at 200kph have woken up my brother twice.
The selection of music is also very well thought of. Good old American rock in the stereos while driving, classy piano pieces or slow jazz when in the showroom. Everything feels very appropriate, and since you can choose which tracks to play, it rounds up everything nicely. You may need a high quality audio system to enjoy it fully though. All in all, everything I expected of GT and much more.
Gran Turismo sound score: 9.5
Just a Game sound sore: 9.5
