Definitely, but cool?
I didn’t go intoGran Turismo 7expecting to be wowed like this.
But then Idris Elba came along.
Starting out in Gran Turismo 7 feels soulless.
All so necessary yet utterly flat.
Imagine being a kid tasting Gran Turismo for the first time with…this?
There’s a choice of three racing tracks with accompanying music.
Iconic tracks at that, but how could you not choose Tokyo Expressway?
This is Gran Turismo after all!
It just feels right to start somewhere in Japan.
And there it is - the song listing underneath.
It’s called Vroom…really?
Featuring in the song is an inspired touch that adds an instantly likeable quality to the whole thing.
Simply called Vroom, it’s possible for you to guess the song’s theme.
Vroom has lyrics about driving Maseratis, Bugattis, Mustangs, you get the idea.
Even before Elba starts rapping, it’s catchy.
It’s instantly wondrous.
There are relatively few moments in gaming where everything clicks perfectly and you feel a sheer sense of joy.
This is one of those.
Combined with this agreeable yet ridiculous track?
It’s a moment that’s likely to stick with you for a while to come.
It certainly has for me.
