Rumas Recommends: GT Pro Series

Yes, you read that right. I’ve been playing GT Pro Series for a few solid days now, and I can honestly recommend that you give it a go. No kidding.

The surprisingly positive feedback I got from this post was what made me take the plunge, and though I entered my credit card info at Amazon.com with more than a bit of trepidation, I don’t regret it a bit.

I love racing games, but none of the other Wii racers looked like my cup of tea. GT Pro Series, on the other hand, sounded like something I could enjoy — a simplified GT racer good for short sessions. It’s certainly nothing deep, but drift racing with the wheel attachment feels really nice once you get the hang of it. The cel-shaded car models look a lot better than I’d expected, it runs at a solid 60 fps, and while backgrounds are pretty bad, the game isn’t the visual eyesore reviews made it out to be.

If you like racing games, but tend to shy away from the complexity of titles in the Gran Tourismo vein, I honestly suggest you give GT Pro Series a go, at least when the price drops. Thanks to those who provided positive impressions “” much appreciated
