    Kaz Yamauchi's passion for the racing sphere shines through every aspect of the game. The incredibly-detailed cars, the slick presentation, the spot-on physics. Polyphony Digital brought its A-game. Nothing else on the market can come close to the realism and immersion you feel throughout. Gran Turismo 5 is virtual racing at its very best.

    Uncompromising in design and steeped in car loving snobbery, GT5 is a petrol head's dream. For gamers it's good, for car enthusiasts it's quite brilliant.

    GT5 may have taken a lifetime to release, but it delivers on its promise of being 'the real driving simulator'.

    I never thought I'd see the day I gave a Gran Turismo game less than a 9. And then GT PSP happened. The disappointment continues, but it's abated by what I can only hope are continued, frequent updates.

    GT5 lives up to "the real driving simulator" tagline, but in almost every other respect, there lies a sense that the grandaddy has been lapped by the competition.

    Considering the time it took Polyphony to complete what we believed would be a masterpiece, we really can't hide our disappointment. Although the number of cars, events and play modes on offer is surely impressive, Gran Turismo 5 is far from that level of perfection that the development team promised us during the last four years.

    Gran Turismo 5's core problem is that the broad scope of all these game modes diminishes the polish of the general product. There's no denying the feel of the actual driving, but everything else that makes up the game feels tedious and half-baked.

TheGT5 is by far the most beautiful racing game out this gen. The variety of cars you can pick and unlock will keep you playing for months. The tracks and maps are stunning and very impressive looking. The weather effects make the game stand out from any other racing game out right now they are just unbelievable!!!. You can customize tracks and cars and unlock parts and upgrades for your cars. There is just so much content in the game you will probably never be completely finish with game. Polyphony Digital has really out done themselves with there 5th installment with the series. I know many reviewer's/trolls are bashing the game and giving it bad reviews/comments. But i unsure you that GT5 was worth the wait and will be the best racer game you ever experienced. :)… Expand

    It's the botched small details that annoy me. Holding a steering wheel with your thumbs sticking up just looks stupid. The paddle shiftingIt's the botched small details that annoy me. Holding a steering wheel with your thumbs sticking up just looks stupid. The paddle shifting animations showing driver's hands clipping through the steering wheels are unacceptable and most trees and some backgrounds look like they were rendered last century. That being said, the cars look great and the handling is typical Gran Turismo.… Expand
