GT Pro Series

"Aside from championship you get standard quick race, split-screen and time trial options, and Drift Combo, an incongruous, aggressively arcadey and frankly unplayable mode that challenges you to string long sequences of slides together. It's here that the game's lack of focus on one driving style over another compromises it most severely and any suggestion of lasting depth or nuance goes out the window. But you can't accuse GT Pro Series of falling between two stools - a slip-sliding arcade racer and a tuner's motorsport sim - when it never got up off the floor in either instance to begin with. Dire."

"Launch titles are generally hit or miss, and gamers have seen the praise corralled by Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and a few of the Wii’s other titles. One might start to wonder if there are any misses, but surely enough something comes along and proves that nothing in gaming is perfect. That something is Ubisoft’s GT Pro Series, and it’s a crash, burn, and all of the excruciating pain during and after."

"As for GT Pro Series, the game is a cel-shaded racing game that's controls and driving model are considerably tighter than that of another Ubisoft Wii racer, Monster Truck 4X4. The cel-shading gives the game a slick look and removes the need for any graphical comparisons to hyper-realistic next-gen racing games such as Forza 2 and Gran Turismo HD (neither of which the Wii could likely even approach in terms of visual fidelity)."

"It doesn't take long to get over the novelty of the included steering wheel, and beyond that this is a very unremarkable racing game that isn't much fun."

"When the checkered flag finally falls, GT Pro Series simply fails to deliver any sort of substantial racing experience. No matter how many cars you have or how many ways you can tweak them out, the fact is, if it's no fun to actually drive around, then it fails as a racing game. GT Pro Series is one racing game that simply should never have made it out of the garage."
