GT Pro Series Description:

Though the upcoming Nintendo Wii racer GT Pro Series isn't the first cel-shaded racing game featuring actual licensed autos (anyone remember Auto Modellista?), it does enjoy the advantage of having controls that are utterly its own. We recently got a chance to see a sneak preview of this Wii launch game, as well as get our hands on the driving-wheel accessory that will ship with it. Cel-shaded racing is coming to the Wii with GT Pro Series. Our only exposure to the game came from a brief video of it in action, but during the presentation, we got a good idea of some of the features that will be included. As we mentioned above, GT Pro Series is a cel-shaded game, with the cars featuring an animated, yet slightly more subdued look to them. We're not sure if it was the video we were watching or if the whole color palette of the game was a bit darker than we expected, however. Regardless, while the cars might look a bit cartoonish in execution, they still appeared fairly realistic, overall. The game will include more than 80 licensed car models, and we noticed several makes, such as Subaru, in the demo movie shown. In addition to standard race and time-trial modes, GT Pro Series will include a drift mode, which will reward you not necessarily for posting the fastest lap times, but instead for pulling off the longest drift in the many corners found on each track. The game will also feature split-screen play for up to four players. Driving the car in GT Pro Series will be accomplished by holding the Wii controller sideways and grasping both ends with your hands. As in other Wii racers, you turn left by turning the controller left and right by moving it in the opposite direction. The two buttons on the face of the Wii remote will be used for throttle and braking when using automatic gears, and there will be three separate control schemes to choose from for manual gearshifts. The addition of the Thrustmaster-designed wheel add-on will make the driving exper

The graphics for this game are supposed to be somewhat cartoon-like. So they're not that bad.
But I will always leave games like this for my PC. Game's like this are not the reason why I am interested in Wii.

Polk says:  

This game was pretty rubbish. But hey, Free is the perfect price to pay for it so i'm not complaining. It is pretty fun for a multiplayer bash. It's pretty bloody hard to control, at least for me. My mates who are racing enthusists (play all their racing games with steering wheel) kick my ass at it, even if they havn't used the Wiimote before.

Note to game developers.

Cell shading is a marvelous shader effect which allows you to make for a cartoony look in your games. The purpose of cell shading is to create a stylish game which intentionally removes the realism of the game. Look at the game XIII for example. That demonstrates cell shading well because it looks great, and intentionally tries NOT to be realistic. On that note, if you're trying to make a game that is supposed to be a somewhat realistic game, a GT racing game for example, cell shading is an AWFUL idea. So either make the game fun and silly, or scrap the cell shader.

Not too good reviews with this game ....watch a in game video of this and you will find that the cars sound VERY mono sounding, and yes cell shading sucks.

Think that getting NFS: Carbon would be a good alternative to this, if only i didn't finish it on my pc

stoopid said: does the steering wheel make a BIG difference?



Yes it does in any racing game. I have NFSC and it feels way better wit ha steering wheel.

Not living in europe, a better translation for GT might be 'Grand Touring'

Me too MelStorm, Although, I might take it to another Myer store and see if I can exchange it. The old "my grandmother bought it for me and I already got it with my pre-order deal and lost the receipt" should work.
