    This game is tough to recommend as a great video game--I'm not sure that it is. However, it is a great racing/driving simulator. That may sound weird, but if you are not a serious racing fan, I'm not sure how much you will enjoy Gran Turismo 5.

That may sound weird, but if you are not a serious racing fan, I'm not sure how much you will enjoy Gran Turismo 5. If you ARE a racing fan or just love cars, you will surely be delighted with what Gran Turismo 5 has to offer. If you are just an average gamer looking for an easy to get into racer, you may be better served by an arcade like title, maybe something like the upcoming Dirt 3. This game has a lot of content, as you may have already read. You know the stats: 1000+ cars, 70 track variations/layouts, etc. There are a lot of events, license tests, special events, A-Spec Mode (you are the driver), B-Spec Mode (you are managing a race team)...I could go on, but you get my point, hopefully. The graphics are right on, the sound is good, and the gameplay/physics are the best in the business (in my opinion). Now for my nitpicks and why I deducted a point: The overall game doesn't feel as polished as GTs of the past....I can't put my finger on it, but somehow it just feels uneven in spots. The menus are FAR too cumbersome, they do have some charm in the My Life section, but overall could have been better. The online has some issues, not with the racing, but with how it manages racing with friends, the lobbies, and some issues with setting up race restrictions. I won't go into detail, but if you buy the game, you'll see what I mean. If I'm really nitpicking, some of the track side foliage looks off when compared to the car models, which look incredible. Also, I've seen some inconsistency in shadows. These faults, while mostly small, I feel are enough to deduct a full point. In the end I feel that Gran Turismo is the best non-arcade racing game to date. Gran Turismo 5 will not be leaving my PS3 for the foreseeable future...there is a lot of great racing to be had here, and I am going to enjoy every minute that I can.

    First of all I set out to play GT5 with one thing in mind, is it as realistic as PD claims it to be, unfortunately many gaming sites will review this as a game, it is not, yes it is a piece of software you put into your PS3, but being an automotive engineer and an avid gamer I can assure you that this is as close to realism you will ever get without leaving your living room, I couldFirst of all I set out to play GT5 with one thing in mind, is it as realistic as PD claims it to be, unfortunately many gaming sites will review this as a game, it is not, yes it is a piece of software you put into your PS3, but being an automotive engineer and an avid gamer I can assure you that this is as close to realism you will ever get without leaving your living room, I could compare this to Forza 3 but that would not be fair to the Forza series. PD's GT5 stands head and shoulders above anything offered on PC or any other platform for that matter. GT5 starts with beautiful depiction of the evolution of the motor car right up to the final product, Jumping right into the menu for me it could have been a bit more simplified, a complicated interface which can be a bit frustrating at times but not to worry, you do get used to it. It is only when you are behind the wheel in a race when you first realize that GT5 is nothing short of astonishing, apart from the most amazing visuals you will ever see in any game on any platform this gen, it is the physics and feel of the car that is the heart of GT5, unlike Prologue you can actually feel the weight of each car, each having its own feel to, it intensifying the experience especially behind the wheel each of the 200 premium cars. GT5 is the complete racing simulator, if you are looking for a game, then GT5 probably isnt for you but if you are looking for the most realistic experience as close to driving a car you will probably never own then GT5 is the only way to go that being said every PS3 owner should buy GT5 even if it is just to marvel at the visuals, for every true racing fan and petrol head it is a must buy.… Expand

Some things are really polished and good while others are so crappy you will think Yamauchi lives in a bin. Some people don't notice flaws as much as others do. If you are one of those you will enjoy it.

    So lets start with the good. First of all, the driving model is really nice.Premium cars do have the right feeling. I have not tried everything but I hear even head tracking should work (they have to fix it for non-arcade first though). The feeling is especially good on the wheel and it is a bit harder to play using the pad. But still, its possible. I found it quite a distinct experience, driving carts, toyota yaris, pontiac GTO spasming like so mad animal and fiat 500 being really crappy like it was in reality. The hardest part must be braking, that seems real to me. The feeling of a heavy car from 60ties rolling down the road at 250 km/h is frightening. Sadly there are no g-forces but we can hardly blame the makers for that.
    Secondly, there is a lot to do. Licenses, races, special events (karts, rally, nascar and much more). I haven't even unlocked em all yet! After that you still have years to collect all the cars you want. And premium cars ARE really nice. I hear the damage is after lvl 20(40) so I cannot comment on that yet. Don't heed people saying "no damage" but they played the game for 5 minutes. I also liked the music, I don't get it how people dont??

    On the other hand, a few things in the re game nagged at me. For example as most of you noticed, really dumb dumb ai. The game drives fine, but when you slide a tad and the first enemy rams you and pushes you for 1km down the road? That is definitely frustrating. Also, while premium cars are really beautiful the other 800 are just there. Nothing special. Probably have 20 variants of toyota yaris, like '01 '03 ... you get the gist of it. And not pretty at all. While the graphics are nice most of the time there is glaring ugliness with non-premium cars compared to premium. Also jaggies and wooden people could use some love. Now as last, the thing I find as most annoying are the menus! God horrid. I hate slow and cumbersome menus, I hate the medals and cups. Just let mi drive again after I failed to reach silver please, don't make me watch stupid animations every time I restart to get a better timing. I am losing hours of life here on pointless animation and fade-in-outs. Probably I am the only one who is bothered by this but I swear, this rakes the most.

    In conclusion I can say GT5 is a safe buy if you already own ps3. If you don't and you are fan of GT franchise or if you love to drive and collect cars and don't care about some craziness. If you already own xbox you probably won't buy ps3 for GT5 and all is well. I would also recommend a steering wheel if you can afford it and have space for it. G25 if you can still get it is the best bargain, got mine for 150â    … Expand

Very few games are able to combine both the luxurious and sporty sides of the world of automobiles. Gran Turismo 5 does just this, combining the best the world of automobiles has to offer with the most realistic and compelling driving game play. The game eases players in with a very gradual difficulty curve. As drivers become more experienced, it removes driving aids and adds in more realistic driving physics INCLUDING real collision damage. Yes, the game DOES have collision damage, its just not enabled when you first start the game, because the damage done to your car actually effects how it drives (ie. if you bend your hood, the game takes into account added drag caused by the increased wind resistance). Players claiming this game is unrealistic in it's driving physics have either never played it, or didn't play for more than an hour before rendering their verdict.

    Honestly, this game is absolutely the most compelling driving game I've ever played. I've gained a new appreciation for motorsports and cars in general simply by playing it. I would recommend this game to all except the most resolute in their dislike of cars.    … Expand

Even the standard cars look nice and the damage model isn't bad either, but for me I like my car how it is, and I don't want to see it all banged up, but damage is a first for the GT series, and it's pretty good for that matter. I don't put the game down for its standard cars or damage model like many have, because I know, if they could make all the cars premium, they would have. The GT series is my favorite franchise in the world, and therefore my favorite game on the PlayStation 3. It's about collecting all different kinds of cars, whether they're classics all the way up to exotics and having a great time driving and racing them. It's about loving cars, and the feel that you're actually driving the car, is absolutely incredible. In fact, GT5 is so realistic, that I don't even consider it a video game. In GT5, you're actually driving the car. Thousands of cars, almost a hundred tracks, many features, incredible **** and exteriors and incredible simulation driving, that really puts you in the driver's seat, making you feel like you're actually driving the car.

Ditched my xbox and opted for a PS3 and found myself without any good racing games (rally games excluded). Finally went and bought GT5, which I had been looking forward to for quite some time. There is a lot of negatives in this game - presentation is horrible and inconsistent for one. Loading times, spelling errors (says installing when you're loading a track, come on, really..) and it seems like there were several animators who never got to meet each other, as small animations vary throughout the menus. It's not hard to find things though, that's pretty nice, it's harder to exit menus/areas as it requires an extensive amount of going back through menus.

    When all that is said, let's get to the racing part, this is where the game really owns up to the brand name. Racing is fun, exiting, pretty realistic and yet easily accissible for beginners. The graphics are really smooth and very very nice. There is no doubt that the racing part of this game is without equal on the PS3 (imo). I can't wait to race some more, look at more cars, upgrade, take my licenses etc.

    Some coherence in the menu system and presentation would have pushed this game to a straight 10, which makes it hard to rate.

    10/10 for the racing bit
    6/10 for presentation
    10/10 for graphics
    8/10 for sounds
    9/10 for gameplay (i don't really get the b-spec option...)

    makes it 8.6 in my opinion, so I have to push it up to a 9, though it's a small nine and a big 8.

    As a video game it's an 8, as a driving simulator it's a 10. and since I like cars more than I like video games this is great for me. This is the game I play even when I don't feel like playing video games. It's just perfect for a guy who wants to be an automotive engineer like me :D

    This is the BEST racing game for a PlayStation 3 console. Due to the large number of cars and tracks, as well as lots of new challenges to achieve like new special events and new B-spec system. Its also enjoyable for me to watch the race replays as well, in order for me to know how AI controlled cars drive.

    I'm currently at level 23, 70+ cars on garage and passed "the first half of the game". For someone who doesn't know a thing about cars (I don't have any in "real world") and even don't know how to drive a real one this game totally caught me.

For someone who wants a driving simulator, this game is perfect. If someone starts to nag about the static crowd in the landscapes, or low res textures, then you haven't understand what is a simulator is, as we are not playing a virtual reality game, just a game who can make you feel and actual physics while racing and can make you love cars even if you don't know a thing about it, like me.

    The graphics are amazing, the sound impressive, the experience and the FREE dlc that PD have been given to us demonstrates that this is not a earn-money franchise like Call of Duty, but a good product oriented on one thing: Satisfy the gamer.

    10 points for Yamauchi and PD, they really act and not just promise.    … Expand

    While it's undoubtedly a mild-to-massive disappointment in almost every area when you consider the development time, GT5 is still a good racing game. The graphics are mixed, with premium cars, menus and some tracks looking great, while standard cars and most tracks look basic and even ugly. The damage too is incredibly disappointing; in blunt, there is none, textures move a little andWhile it's undoubtedly a mild-to-massive disappointment in almost every area when you consider the development time, GT5 is still a good racing game. The graphics are mixed, with premium cars, menus and some tracks looking great, while standard cars and most tracks look basic and even ugly. The damage too is incredibly disappointing; in blunt, there is none, textures move a little and that's it. It's also more than a bit jarring when you're travelling at 200 MPH, only to come to a sudden, silent stop as you bounce of a wall. But GT5 does have it where it counts, in the driving. If you can overlook the flaws and forget about the development time, I'm sure you'll love the game for it's great driving and premium cars, but for most people, it shouldn't have flaws to begin with.… Expand

    We love Gran Turismo dearly but it isn't the game we hoped it would be. [Feb 2011, p.72]

    An unusually complex driving game that demands real dedication and only fully reveals its true power once you've put the mileage in. [Jan 2011, p.108]

    GT5 is pretty much exactly what everybody expected it to be. Overhyped maybe because of the unprecedented delay in its release, but spot on with its goals.
