Not Even A Game: A Review of "Gran Turismo 4"

I've always enjoyed racing games. They're fast-paced and easy to get into. The environments and cars are often beautiful, and they lack much of the baggage that other games have. But in spite of all this, racing seems to have a worse "good game" to "bad game" ratio than any other genre. And, why is that? No innovation perhaps? What makes "Gran Turismo 4" different from "Gran Turismo 3"? Or "Need for Speed 3" different from "Need for Speed 2"? There are a few graphical updates and a couple new cars. And if that's really all you need, feel free to shell out $50 left and right for each boring new clone. People tend to buy the newest racing game regardless of what's been added, so … the developers don't add anything.
