Some of you may say, "but Arnold, why didn't you mention this in your GT PSP hands-on preview? Why is this such a shock to you?" Because when I played Gran Turismo PSP a few months ago at a New York City event, I recall being able to sort through a complete listing of every car in the game, through every single make none of this four dealers only bullcrap. Yes, it's that complicated, confusing, and stupid. If you don't see a GT-R or a 300ZX TT, you have to wait until the next time Nissan becomes one of the four dealers you can shop at and see if the assortment of cars features the ones you want. But, just because you can access a Nissan dealer, doesn't mean you can have the ability to buy any of their cars. As the days roll on in the game, a new set of four dealerships will be made available to you. Once you buy a car, you can participate in a few events. When you boot up the game, you'll have four dealers to access and 100,000 credits to spend on a car, which is a gracious sum. Oh, those crazy guys, I'll just contact them agai…what? This is normal?"

But, on the other hand, I still had a lot of fun with it, as at its core, GT PSP is still very enjoyable, accessible, and fun game. Now, after re-reading this review, it definitely comes off harsh, but with good reason. Gran Turismo's development was most certainly not a continuous effort of five years…and unfortunately, it shows. I say allegedly, because I'm certain that the development cycle for the game had been temporarily sidelined numerous times in between all of the work Polyphony had to do for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.
