All 12 Gran Turismo Games Ranked From Worst to Best

It’s hardly a hot take to place Gran Turismo 4 at the top of the pile, but there’s no need for a dissenting opinion here because GT4 really is everything everyone says it is. If you consider the time at which the game released and the hardware it released on, Polyphony was executing at an unfathomably advanced level with every facet of GT4’s experience.

It looked phenomenal for 2005, even on the aged PS2. The presentation was slicker than it had ever been and, arguably, would ever be again. The car selection spanned the entirety of the 20th century, and the track roster fleshed out the series’ repertoire with new fictional circuits and a ton of real-life ones, including Suzuka and, of course, the Nürburgring Nordschliefe. Whether you liked Group B rally monsters, Group C prototypes, golden-era American muscle or cutting-edge Japanese touring cars, GT4 had it all, and moreover rendered everything at an unwaveringly high fidelity. This was the pinnacle of quantity and quality for the Real Driving Simulator.

That’s our list of every Gran Turismo entry ranked. Let us know what you thought of it in the comments, and how you’d reorder your list.
