14 DAY TRIAL // The man you can see in the article's adjoined picture is Brunno Senna, a professional race car driver, who gives us his opinion on Gran Turismo HD. Turns out that he'd rather play Gran Turismo 4 for its realistic Golf Gti and Audi cars, rather than the next installment in the GT series. Why? It seems that the Ferrari 599 from GT HD is extremely difficult to drive, even it you're using racing tyres.
Also, the race driver claims that the controller is too sensitive and he can't input the exact amount of power he wants from the vehicle. Brunno Senna mentions that he's a die-hard Gran Turismo fan, but you should know that the man was the official advisor of the Ferrari Challenge title, coming soon on the PS3. Hmm, is he advertising his title by claiming that the competition's hot rides don't behave well? You'd have to be mean to claim that, but since Brunno is a race driver we'll take his opinion as nobody knows better how it feels behind a Ferrari's wheel.
The race driver claimed that games like Gran Turismo are played for fun and a car that's difficult to drive will surely spoil the driving/gaming experience. That's probably the main issue of racing games nowadays, as producers have always had a hard time choosing between genuine fun arcade titles and serious racing sims. GT's producers shouldn't feel offended by Brunno's affirmations, because the man's a fan of the long-running series and he just wants to improve the experience provided by the title.
I wonder if there's any F1 driver out there who tested Gran Turismo, as they're probably the best ones to ask about the quality of the game. Also, I'm curious to try out Ferrari Challenge on the PS3 in order to feel the difference between arcade racing and driving a beast on four wheels and really enjoying the feeling.
