I had bought Cruis'n, thinking it would be like the Arcade version. Found it for $20 when it first came out. It was HORRIBLE!!!! It has a few good qualities, but over all, crap. I even made a review on Amazon saying it set gaming back 20 years. Well, graphic wise... GT Pro Series set gaming back 30 years. LOL You couldn't be more correct that the graphics aren't great. But the game itself, I think is fun, and addictive.
And for the... *GASP* Casual Gamers..

, like myself, tend to not care so much about graphics, as the game play, ease of play, etc. So with GT Pro Series, it's like old school arcade racing, which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. So there may be a handful of CG's here that would enjoy it.
I knew you Pro Gamers would laugh. I
'm not EVEN going to mention the fact that I enjoy Cooking Mama.
