Fun:
We bought this only becuase there wasn't much else to buy for the Wii when it came out............certainly regret it now
Everything about the game is naff. Very poor graphics, playability, the way the car handles. There are car games on the PS1 that are better.
Don't waste your money

Fun:
I know people think the graphics are something from a Gamecube and they say the audio is awful. But I'm not one of those people.
I like the game.
This is my first racing game for the Wii and I wanted it to be a good game. So I read reviews from other people and looked at videos of the game.
But when I got it I loved it right from the start.
You can use the Wii remote or a steering wheel that comes bundled with the game. The controls are excellent. All you need to do is to pretend that you're driving a real car (i.e. turn the Wii remote left or right).
This game features 82 Japanese cars from 10 manufacturers, like Nissan and Toyota. I also found two cars that I'd never heard of before. When you win a few championship races, you'll unlock upgrades that you can use to make your car go faster.
40 of the cars are unlocked at the start of the game.
There are 10 circuits each named like "Green Field" and "Heights Mountain". They can be raced in different weather conditions. They can be reversed, so there are 20 circuits in total.
4 are available to race in at the start of the game.
There are five game modes. Championship mode is the mode where you try to unlock cars and parts. This mode compromises of four classes (Beginner, Intermediate, Highspeed and Professional).
Each class has different championships you can race in. Each championship compromises of three races and if you are in the top three, you'll earn a trophy. Bronze (3rd) may unlock a new circuit. Silver (2nd) unlocks a car part. Gold (1st) unlocks a new car. If you complete a class you'll be able to move on to the next class.
To do any racing in the next class you must earn a licence. Licences are required to enter Intermediate, Highspeed and Professional.
Not all the cars can be unlocked in this mode though!
The next mode is Quick Race. This is where you can race on any unlocked track in any unlocked car. It's really a fun mode.
Time Attack is next. You race on a track, trying to get the fastest time.
If you do that you'll be able to enter your name to the leaderboard.
VS is a mode where you race against each other around a circuit. Two Wii remotes or steering wheels will be required for this mode.
Drift Combo is a mode where you try to drift as many times as you can. If you do enough drifts in a row you'll unlock a new car.
Every time you complete a championship you should save your progress just in case you lose your stuff you've worked hard to earn.
It is a great game. But it's what I think about. If you want to complain about age-old graphics and ear-piercing music, go ahead and complain all you like. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter.
Graphics: 8/10 (probably the best score anyone has given it)
Gameplay: 8/10
Sound: 8/10
Choice of cars: 10/10
Choice of circuits: 10/10
Overall: a very good 8/10.

Fun:
Ok, it's been said to death but the graphics on this game are horrible, poor even for a Gamecube game. The sound is also pretty nasty too. Despite all this I gave the game a good go, both single and multiplayer but never really had any fun playing it. The controls aren't terrible but everyone who played my copy commented that they never really felt in control as you can't really "feel" the car. When i got Excite Truck this lack of feel on GT Pro series became all the more apparent.
I think racing games really require you to become immersed in the experience and with the graphics and sound grating your eyes and ears and a real absence of feel, GT Pro Series just doesn't do that.
I am sure there will be better "real car" racing games for the Wii in time but I think it will probably be the "wacky" racing games such as Excite Truck and the inevitable Mario Kart release that will work best.
Unless you are a real racing game fan I would avoid this title and even then, don't expect too much.

Unrealistic, but who cares?
This was the first game I bought for my Wii, and having played Gran Turismo on a PS2 the physics suprised me a little. Read more

Over-priced, but reasonably fun
Reviews are usually 5* or 1* on Amazon. Middling reviews don't seem to happen too often. However, this is a fairly middling game for the Wii -- apparently a pretty... Read more

Fun but not ground breaking
I loved Gran Turismo on the PS2. Now (for me at least) it has a contender!
