Secret to Success:
Gran Turismo is hands down the best racing simulator ever made. The amount of detail throughout the game is something other sims can only dream of. First, you can select from over 150 different real life cars. You can even get used ones. Then you race for money. With the money you buy new stuff for your car and then go and tweak it until it's perfect. Just about every part of a car can be tweaked and it all handles just as the actual cars would. This alone is enough to have fun with, but it also gives you the option of head to head play, speed competitions, and enduro races. Basically, GT rocks.

Memorable Moments:
First thing I did when I got this game was buy the Honda delSol I've always wanted, win a few races, and pimp the thing out. It was a pretty awesome car, but once you got to the higher levels it was no good. So I bought a custom Subaru racer. It's not as flashy as the other cars, but it handles better than any other, and I tweaked it so the acceleration is nuts. I think it does 0-100 in about 2 seconds. Of course, I'm not very good at staying on the road, but when you've got a 4WD speed machine, who needs to?
