    It only evolves graphically. Playably it's a Playstation 2 Gran turismo. It should be an evolution, not a remastered.

    Awesome game. Underrated because it was so close to Gt5. Still great anyways

    More fun to play than it's predecessor GT5 and better than it's successor GT Sport.

    Litterly my number one favorite game of all time.
    i have soo much to say but im too lazy to write it all.
    but i will say this.
    It's Gran turismo 5 but upgraded and with some tiny content that didn't make it.

    I don't know if there has ever been a simcade racer with this many cars and tracks that was still designed with good single-player progression in mind. No menu books here, it's a classic full fledged GT career mode that offers flexibility in what events and cars to choose next. I'll be honest and say that these days I actually prefer GT6 to GT4 because it just feels more dynamic to me.

    This is actually like a stepforward from gt5. Gt6 has more polished graphics and more polished content than gran turismo 5 because gt5 had lots of online orientated making it only 80% of the game you can played when the server got shutdown, while gt6 it is a offline friendly there is whole lot to do in gt6 than gt5 so i say that gt6 is better than gt5

    Good but too late. This game is better than GT5 in every way. But it came out for PS3 just when PS4 was released.

    The last great Gran Turismo experience for me.

The diversity on track was something beautiful to see. The ability to choose from over one thousand cars, that can be tuned to perfection and pipped against other drivers online was an experience I’ll never forget. Whilst on the topic of online, Gran Turismo 6 had a similar story in this regard to 5, with the main aim of these modes being to have fun, and enjoy racing. E-Sports was not relevant, and it showed. Something I despise from the newer GT entries is how E-Sports is shoved in the players face, whereas in GT6, the vast car list and diverse, entertaining track list, paired with custom tracks, made this games online experience unforgettable. Wholeheartedly enjoyable, and never tired on the community thanks to the games endless catalogue of choices. I wonder how long it will be before another Polyphony release can boast of over a thousand cars. Hopefully soon.… Expand

    This was my first Gran Turismo and it's still my favourite car game of all times. It had problems like the non-premium cars but we also had a track path editor, great multiplayer and a lot of fun with tuning and playing with friends. Im missing those times.

    I can finally enjoy Gran Turismo. GT6 is FOCUSED. I love the physics...I love the graphics...I love the sound of certain cars....I love this game. The body roll is incredible and the way the car reacts is so damn realistic. So many cars and tracks you don't know which one to choose. The new updates only make it better and better. This is the result of real passion for cars. 8/10

    Best racing game of its generation, and easily one of the best racing sims of all time.

    Great and fun carreer mode, amazing graphics for the ps3, runs at 1440x1080p and between 45-60fps on the PS3, that on itself is an amazing achievement.

    Unfortunately one of its major flaws is the AI, which is literally brain dead and acts like a brick pulling 500bhp.

    Good game, but lacks good AI.

    Two years later, and there are still things that are NOT in the game that advertised on the back of the game's case. Many cars are still "standard" (meaning imported and upscaled from the PS2). Lazy, lazy, LAZY game. Gran Turismo is not the innovator it used to be. Polyphony Digital is just phoning it in these days.

    Not a true sequel. It's basically an expansion pack that gives and takes.
    It gives more cars, a few new tracks, weather effects on most tracks, and improves the physics.
    It takes away several features that were available in GT5 such as mechanical damage, tire wear/fuel depletion in arcade mode, visual damage is worse, rain effects are worse, A.I is a lot easier, less cars on track (16 in    Not a true sequel.

    Worth noting that track editor is not in-game and doesn't work anymore due to offline servers, making credits is also a total grind and PD clearly introduced micro transactions for a reason. Same old vacuum cleaner car sounds for most cars despite several updates that total above 10gb.    … Expand

    Average driving sim on underpowered hardware, graphical glitches sometimes, horrible story mode where you always start last no matter what, so difficulty jumps mean your chances of achieving a 1st play are almost non-existent in later levels.

    Lastly, they abandoned the vision program for this game to work on GT Sport.

    Sony better port their GT games to PC if they will want to ever get mah money ever gain. Sony can still earn money from selling their funded games on PC. Not sure why Sony is being so stubborn bout not getting their games on PC.

    Release them on Steam. I can't keep up with all these things that cost money paying monthly for my internet and paying for PS4s online.

Les effets sonores par exemple et quel exemple ! ils sont toujours aussi mauvais, les pires bruits de moteurs jamais entendus, ce qui pour une simulation automobile constitue déjà un motif légitime de disqualification...

    Signalons aussi les ralentissements éhontés ici et là, un défaut récurrent toujours pas corrigé malgré les innombrables patchs. Signalons également la gestion du sous-virage perfectible (comme dans Assetto Corsa) et la non-gestion de l'autobloquant, ce qui induit une non-gestion du survirage de puissance, la voiture pivotant toujours aussi bêtement autour de son axe. Et mentionnons l'intelligence artificielle qui brille toujours... par son absence.

    Toutefois, certains problèmes ont tout de même été corrigés comme le freinage qui se comporte correctement quand l'ABS est désactivé, enfin ! Le pilotage -surtout avec un volant- n'en est pas désagréable pour autant : les transferts de masse et l'inertie sont restitués et les différences -bien qu'exagérées- entre les nombreux types de pneus s'avèrent appréciables.

    A côté de tout cela, on doit considérer avec bienveillance l'interface et ses menus, clairs et agréables, ainsi que les ralentis de type télévisuel qui ont toujours été un point fort de la série, malgré l'absence d'un "super ralenti" (slow motion).

    Quant au nombre de bagnoles, c'est comme d'habitude de l'esbrouffe et du remplissage quand on ne propose que 200 "premiums" et qu'on meuble avec 800 copiés-collés de l'ère précédente avec un cache noir en guise d'habitacle (!)...

    Polyphony doit tout remettre à plat et se ressaisir : déjà, ils avaient marqué le pas au temps de la PS2 avec des produits trop médiocres et l'ère PS1 où ils caracolaient seuls en tête est terminée depuis bien longtemps... Enfin, on est tout de même au 6ème GT et comme déjà mentionné au début de cette critique, on a toujours pas de bruits de moteur corrects à l'horizon : les lave-vaisselles et les aspirateurs, ça commence à bien faire.    … Expand

    The pointless A.I. and rolling start make playing your track on single and multi-player races impossible, due to the fact that half the time, your car will end up circling, going backwards, forwards, ram a car, and it goes on repeat, until you go to the pits...where the cycle begins once and it will never end after it hits the pits.

    Gran Turismo 6 is a complicated time sink with some cool cars inside. Its not finished, its difficult to install, missing damage, and needs a better track maker. Sometimes the graphics are bad. The gameplay is not an even challenge. Other than that its still Gran Turismo.

    The updates are so huge, the Playstation 3 chokes on them and fails. Put a brand new game in and it does not work.    Gran Turismo 6 is a complicated time sink with some cool cars inside.

Other than that its still Gran Turismo.

    The updates are so huge, the Playstation 3 chokes on them and fails. Put a brand new game in and it does not work. Polyphony Digital doesn't have a system to manage its own updates without an online tutorial written in a forum. It took 2 full days to install the game; UNACCEPTABLE. Some people may run into more problems than others.

    If You Get It Running:

    This game is more focused on hyper-cars than any other. The insane top speeds are kind of fun and kind of fake. Cars outpace each other wildly in PP which causes a high learning curve. Its impossible to know which car is the best to pick. There no monster trucks or American classic racing. No 80s stock cars or sprint cars.

    The reward system is skewed toward longer races. Trophy cars aren't awarded well because some races are too hard with almost no reward. The actual challenges aren't worth anyone's time because of the CR prizes are so small compared to Seasonal Events and Online Play. The difference in prices between the cars doesn't seem to have much logic.

    Online: The Quick Match will often kick you out of the server. The online rules penalize you unfairly almost every time I race. If you happen to be turning in, and someone hits you behind, you get the penalty. If too many wheels fall out of the course, you get a penalty. Thankfully not all online races are this way. The Open Lobbies are sometimes fun, sometimes terrible. One time a user on the annoying mic, just started cursing out users who entered their room with the wrong car. People constantly criticize you if you are running a car they don't like, even if they didn't put a room filter on it. Most of the user tracks I played are ridiculous (hill climbs) or un-drivable. The Nascar tracks are really fun though.

    Drift modes: This game doesn't drift well. You have to spend too much time getting your car set up perfectly.

    Other things wrong with the game; The AI is not great. They sometimes ram you and never seem to coast through turns. You must redo the licensing again. You have to complete 20 races before going online. No drag strip? None. No tuning cars while driving. No drawing on cars. No real damage. Needs courtesy cars online.

    The graphics are a shame. Some cars look like PS2. Some cars have a premium dashboard, but then I look back, and the rear view is not modeled! Silly.

    The music and sound are another low point, with bad engine sounds and terrible music selection. The music is so terrible. Whatever happened to real artists, like Garbage? Or classical music.

    There are some good things. They fixed the terrible menus and load times from GT 4 & 5. Its got a lot of unique content & cars that are in no other game.

    There are a lot of sim racers now. I'm still waiting for what they promised in Gran Turismo 4: More Pontiacs, & damage models. Worth buying for cheap if you have a PS3, but I won't be completing the disc because of overall gameplay. They added more cars to the game, fixed the menus, but did not increase overall game quality. Its a stressful game to play when you don't have the exact right car to run online and its just unbalanced as an offline game. You are better off quitting the game early. This will take hours of time and I didn't find it as fun as previous racers that exist.

    This game can get kind of addictive, but it has so many problems its sad. Its no wonder nobody can fully recommend the game.    … Expand

Aside from that the game can be fun, but it feels a bit too similar to GT5, and in some cases i still prefer GT5, which will remain in my shell alongside GT3 and GT4. GT6 will be selled and there goes my care about Gran Turismo games ever again. Thanks you Sony.… Expand

    A good game but should be developed with more time and innovations rather for PS4, as it adds nothing to GT5. Sound is terrible, graphics are good with some failures.

    I'm sorry but this game is plain inadequate. The worst thing about GT6 is the sound: a lot of cars share the same generic engine noises and most of the time they sound like hairdryers and lawnmawners. Ford GT sounds absolute shiet. I spent like a month and a half on this game, I'm not saying it's bad or anything... it's just that there are so many better racing games out there...

    The game developers can not justify making us wait 6 hours to play there game after putting it into the system.
    The developers treat this game as if its a PC game where they can through out massive 2gb+ patches into the game. Current gen consoles are not designed for this. 100mb- patches should be the max per update for this system.

    The car sounds, are Depressing. the chevy corvette sounds so uninspiring that it literally made me regret buying the C6R as good as it is. I am constantly rolling my eyes when I buy a new car, because it sounds like the last car with a Very tiny twist.

    There are these icon cars for 20,000,000 credits that poly must think people are going to spend honest money to own. Who are they kidding?

    Yes as always... there's some new tracks.
    Yes there's more hi def cars (I guess. Having to sort through 10 skylines that I would find preferable with their respective PP values, I find myself owning the ONE skyline because it doesn't look like **** for example. sooo...)

    But there's no more used cars either!

    The PP Ratings for races are always stupid high, resulting in 450-600 horsepower cars and nearly limitless viciousness to GT's AI speedup/slowdown technique of trying to manage difficulty. (Which is terrible in and of itself, as far as I am concerned, but that comes later.)

    There should be beater series races with 400 max PP and comfort hard tires at the short courses! THIS is the sunday/clubman, not this, realize I can run this 250 horsepower hot hatch PD just HAPPENED TO HAVE GIVEN ME for getting all golds, which is eye rollingly easy compared with say, GT3/4 in the low pp series against cars that are just marginally faster than Kei cars.

    There are no more grid starts! officially, what gives! and it's not even a rolling start. it's an arcade start with just running down AI crippled cars until just after you pass them!

    online play is so very sparse. You can't ever seem to really find what you're after, in my case. I guess I should be snooping forums for series, instead of using the GT's engine. But it's just disapointing.

    The physics are improved, but it's still not on par with Forza's techniques. the rubber-band effect of steering a slide is awful, and just uncatchable. It's frustrating, It's not enjoyable, and it doesn't lend realism or credibility to the "sim".

    That being said, I like seeing the stance of the car change with every suspension move I make in setup, I like the new paintbooth setup A LOT.

    GT Needs a legitimate tire simulation. One needs only look at the ten year old Live For Speed project in youtube, to see what I mean. real simulation of tire deformation, load, heating inside middle and outside, and it all affects how it grips and deforms visually and physics wise. Bonus points for watching slow motion vids. you will understand after that.

    I like how quickly it loads, I really like the large grids, but we need MUCH closer starts, and tighter rules/regs.

    It just feels like a cash grab more than an iteration of the series, and it's disapointing from that standpoint. I want my track generator, advanced grid starts from multi, in single player, furthermore I want qualifying rounds from the original gran turismos to make a comeback. Honestly. If one wants to market something as simulation, take it on. as it is, it's still a poser.    … Expand

    Gran Turismo 6 is evidently an improvement from its predecessor, but it can still at times feel unfinished at times. I believe this era is one to forget for Polyphony Digital, and perhaps to start fresh for the next. The circuits available are much more appealing to real drivers, and some cars look gorgeous, however I think the game could've been released for Playstation 4.

With its massive selection of cars, tracks, and it's beautiful day and night cycle. With rain, gravel, snow and dirt tracks, it's a very varied experience. But no game is perfect. This has it flaws.

    Pros:
    - 1200+ Cars
    - GT6 career mode is varied and diverse.
    - driving, turn everything off, Apex everything, become a legend.
    - tracks, a huge selection, including my personal favourite. Bathurst.
    - sounds are amazing.

    Cons:
    - the game freezes a bit too much, especially after races when you claim victory
    - the graphics are pretty, but some tracks and cars don't have as much attention to detail.
    - blackout cockpits is just lazy.

    Overall running at a stunning 1080P 60FPS on the PS3, presumably the last on this gen, it's an amazing game with flaws that don't hold it back too much.

Poll after poll shows that the most popular (and in this reviewer's opinion, most fun) game of the Gran Turismo series was GT4, which came out at the end of 2004; since then the game's graphics have been improved (though not enough to keep up with the industry leaders) but Polyphony Digital has managed to suck almost all of the enjoyment out of playing the game.

    Specifically what's wrong? I'm not talking about the issues the series has always had, such as the designers' frustrating (to non-Japanese players) obsession with Japanese cars, which still make up a disproportionate number of those available (though the balance has improved greatly and the selection really isn't too bad any more). Nor do I mean the oft-talked-about "standard" cars, those whose graphics models haven't been updated since the PS2 days and that therefore look primitive (and lack interior views completely). The former issue is something every Gran Turismo fan has learned to live with; the latter isn't really a problem considering how many premium cars (i.e., those whose graphics are reasonably in keeping with the hardware) there are.

    No, what brings me to type this review isn't so much the stuff that PD has never gotten right, it's the things they had done well and that have now gotten worse. The most obvious of these is the events and features that are missing completely. Did you enjoy rally events in GT4 or 5? Too bad — they're completely gone. (But the shop still sells dirt tires...) Did you like the endurance races? They're gone too. Did you enjoy getting prize cars after winning a series or a long endurance race? Those have been largely eliminated, unless you want to play online (a feature that I am not commenting extensively on, as it isn't available to everyone as part of the game itself, but I'll note in passing that nearly every aficionado of online play finds PD's system nearly unusable...). And the simple interface of GT4, with everything in view at once? Gone, replaced by an ugly set of menus that aren't so much nonfunctional as... well, just bad.

    Oh, there's one thing that they've added (back), after it disappeared with GT5: license tests. Yes, no matter how many racing games (including Gran Turismo) you've played, GT thinks that you shouldn't be allowed to race a fast car until you've shown, repeatedly, that you know how to find a braking point, an apex, and so on. I've never met anyone who thinks the license tests are in any way a positive addition to the game, but Kaz (Kazunori Yamauchi, the game's lead designer) is obsessed with the technical aspects of racing, so licenses are back, whether you (or anyone else) likes them or not.

    Ah, but the racing — that's where it's at, right? GT has always been the premier racing game, so there's where it should shine... except this is actually where it falls flattest. For one thing, most of your early forays into racing will be in dull, slow cars — from the beginning you are forced to race PD's idea of what is best for a brand new driver (whether you are one or not). I guess there are joys to be had racing 80 horsepower front-drive econoboxes... and you'll get to experience them, a lot, of you want to graduate to anything faster. Woo hoo.

    Once you're actually racing something worthwhile, the disappointments will become even more acute. I didn't think it was possible for an AI to be worse that that of previous GT games, but PD managed it — the opposing cars drive on rails, rubberband at times, and commit random inexplicable errors that mean that any competent driver should blow them a way in a "fair" race. Except that qualifying is also gone, so that race starts with you far behind the leaders. Oh, and be careful as you pass everyone (as you will if you don't completely stink at this), because they also like to knock you off the track without warning, even on straightaways.

    So much else is missing too. There's no car damage (well, technically there are minor visual indications of damage, but they have no effect on the driving). Nothing to keep you from wall-riding and cutting corners. No rewinding. No trading cars among users. Ridiculous restrictions on what color you can paint your cars. Sounds that, without exception as far as I can tell, do not at all resemble those of the cars in question. Questionable tuning dynamics. And on and on.

    We're told, repeatedly, that many of these issues will be fixed in updates that are coming "soon". Well, even if they were coming tomorrow this review is of the game that you can buy today, and that game stinks. Further, GT6 has been out a year and almost no significant flaw has been rectified; none of us is holding his breath.

    Gran Turismo was once both a fine simulator and a fun game. It's no longer either.    … Expand

I made this review after playing more than thirthy hours. Some things have been improved, others have turned out to be worse. Things that have been improved are graphics in overall, there is a new UI (not per se better than before) and the handling of the cars feels better with a steering wheel with gas/acceleration pedals. There some new things, such as Vision GT, in which real car manufacturers design concept cars which you can drive in the game. There some new events, such driving on the moon, coffee breaks and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. There a lot more tracks and older ones are looking better. There are 1200 cars, but only 300-400 are detailed and you there are like 30 Mazda Miata's with little to no difference in between them. But this compensated by the fact you have a few more options of changing the exterior of a car. There a quite lot of things which are worse than before. You can buy credits with real cash, but you need like 150 euro's to buy one car which cost 20 million credits, if you buy 7million credits for 50 euro's. Otherwise, its much more expensive. B-Spec, in which you are team manager leading a race with driver AI's, has been removed. Although the feature wasn't fantastic, it offered variation and way to earn credits while doing something else. The online events are now only drifting events and time attacks and the reward in credits have been severely reduced, probably to persuade you to buy credits with real credits. The carreer mode is quite blant, most races you have a rolling start and you must drive from the back of the pack to pole position within 2-5 laps, with only a few night races, fewer rally events and some coffee breaks. There are also some issues which shouldn't be in a racing game / driving simulator, such as: The AI drivers are too easy and there is no way to increase difficulty, expect by choosing a car which performs worse. You can be much faster than the AI in the same car. The headlights and tail lights don't function well in while driving in the dark, you can barely see the road ahead, and the rear of the cars are dark while driving 0-10m behind them. Headlights of the car behind you are barely visible. Crashing does not affect the performance of your car, you only lose some time. The cars don't sound like real cars or like the car in real life. They are also quite awful to listen at and sometimes you can't hear when you need to change gear. In cockpit view, you are sometimes blinded by the sun and forced to change your viewing point. Some interiors, especially of some new cars, are a lot darker than they should be. In overall, this game gets 4 from me and I recommend you to buy it when it's cheap, or when they release a version with all dlc added to it, but that should take a some time.… Expand

    Não há um salto gráfico em relação ao 5(é melhorado em poucos detalhes), mas o dinamismo nos menus, o sistema de habilitação, os loadings, tudo foi aprimorado dando muito mais prazer ao jogar. a física continua fantástica e é muito mais fácil de perder o controle do carro (mesmo com as assistências ligadas) que seu antecessor.

If you're a GT fan, then you won't be disappointed (much). The physics have been much improved over GT5, you can easily tell a front wheel drive from a rear wheel drive, rear wheel drive cars are playful now and are controllable rather than the classic GT spin of doom - overall physics have matured although frustratingly GT5 should have already been at that stage.

    The niggles come down to Gran Turismo not challenging it's own status quo - most races are rolling starts which in reality means you're doing time trials with traffic most of the time and very annoying traffic at that. You get no sense of realism as soon as they hit simply because they cannot break a static racing line, brake randomly when not needed and seem to slow down for you if you've made a mistake. Generally then, it's easy as usual.

    The other fustration is the severe lack of races that actually use tyre wear, pit stops, fuel usage. damage etc. What is the point in putting these features in if you only make use of them occasionally? I really hope the first GT to come out on the PS4 finally incorporates all of these feedback from many fans otherwise it will just be an aging franchise - not one that pushed the console racing boundary of the later years.

    Online is fairly poor too. You can get in races no problem but the experience and incentives to play this game online are really lacking.

    Despite all of this though I have give it an 8 because I love racing sims and this is hands down the best of them all that so far I have played on a console - features as mentioned above would have made it a 9 maybe a 10, but Gran Turismo has a lot to answer for so I am being harsh in the hope PD will listen.    … Expand

    Somehow better and somehow worse than GT5.
    The cars handle better, but there's no B-spec mode.
    The designers are a-holes though...why force me to use racing hard tyres in a bloody wet weather race? Game devs must really hate their job to pour so much hate our way.

    In the original, you could make qualifying runs and fight for the pole position. Now, you're stuck toward the back and fighting to move up in (more often than not) very short races.
    Although there are a few races where you begin at a standing start, rolling starts are the norm here. Nice if you prefer it, not so much if you don't. Maybe they should put in an option as to what you like.
    While there are a multitude of cars to buy, a good deal of them are 'tuned' by the Gran Turismo producers, and you can't modify them in any way.
    My last gripe has to do with the way the AI behaves. Whoever coded these drivers must be a sadist. The other drivers continually move in front of you or push you through corners. It's like they don't know that you're on the track with them. Try to pass, and they sit dead center of a narrow piece of road. Pass them and slow down for a tight turn, and they perform a pit maneuver on you. They also seem stuck to the track even when you're in a race where you're required to use hard compound tires...slipping and sliding as if you were on ice...THEY zip through hairpin turns like a slot car.
    Yeah, as I said; it IS a good game, and I spend many hours playing it, but in my opinion, it could be much better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gran Turismo 6 is a great driving simulator. However, it isn't a great game. Depending on what you want to get out of the game, you'll either really enjoy it or get really bored. Personally I love doing time trials, so I've managed to get a lot out of GT6, but I really didn't enjoy the career mode. The races are too easy, even with a car significantly below the performance point limit for each race. Rolling starts in all but kart races really spoil the competitive aspect of the game as AI opponents are significantly worse than yourself (unless you're a terrible driver!).

    The handling characteristics are unlike any other racing game I've played. The realism is definitely there, and the way the cars lean into corners and shift their weight during acceleration looks and feels great. In the cockpit view it feels like you're really driving the real life version of the in-game car. It's such a shame then that there are still about 700-800 'standard' cars still in the game - cars that I have no intention of driving as it detracts from the overall experience. A lot of these 'standard' cars are duplicate cars - for each 'standard' MX-5 there is also a Eunos and Miata variant, these are essentially the same cars duplicated three times. This also happens with the Vauxhall Corsa Comfort as the Opel version is exactly the same. The point I'm making is I'd rather see just the premium cars in the game. The space taken up by the 800 standard cars could have given way for an extra fifty premium models.

    The Seasonal Events are generally better than in GT5, and are more like Rivals mode in Forza Motorsport. However, there are two or three events that require a 15th Anniversary car, which means everybody with the regular edition of the game cannot participate in these events. This annoyed me, as I like to complete every event just for personal gratification. The online lobby is a huge improvement, kudos to Polyphony for making GT6 enjoyable to play over the interweb.

    By far and away the most disappointing aspect of this game though is the fact it didn't come out on PS4. This game could have fulfilled its potential by being released on the right console. As it goes, loading times are too long and some tracks look PS2-esque. On the PS4 and with no ported-from-PS2 car models, the game could have been a genuine contender to Forza Motorsport 5, and it would almost certainly have resulted in better sales figures.

    As a game then, GT6 is bang average. Only the amazing driving physics and the competitive nature of the Seasonal Events make this same somewhat decent.    … Expand

    In the bad side, the UI is not very good, but you can more or less fix it in the menu putting it in 'aggressive' (they'll go very aggressive, even crashing you to overtake). Surprisingly the UI behaves awesomely realistic when you race only 1 car of the machine in certain races of the career mode.

    The stripped down interface is a joy after the bloated effort from GT 5 and the loading times are significantly reduced.

    After completing the GT World Championship the ending credits video rolls. Not to spoil anything but suffice it to say that this video goes a long way to pay tribute to the labour of love that Gran Turismo 6 is.

    I would personally like to see more emphasis on timings rather than just the gold trophy displayed as your personal record and yes the sounds are an issue as is the damage rendering. The catalogue of cars are impressive but a decent update is certainly on the cards.

    Gran Turismo is it's own thing. Polyphony place emphasis on certain areas and leave others to the imagination. It's almost as if the team live in a bunker in Japan and their sole purpose is to make Gran Turismo with as little or no influence from any other game in the racing/driving genre.

    We have been promised a year of DLC and support and GT7 has been hinted at as early as 2015.

    The launch of a console is never an easy or straightforward thing and I for one was all for letting the dust settle and allow Sony plenty of time to work the bugs out of their latest behemoth before buying a PS4 myself. With GT6 being a PS3 exclusive this helped and GT7 may just be the bundled deal that comes with my upgrade to next gen. The future for Gran Turismo is looking great.    … Expand

The garage now includes a stockyard for cars you don't intend to use, so it's easier to avoid changing into a car you keep as a collector's item. Customisation is slightly enhanced; you can buy racing brakes and skip stages in engine tuning and weight reduction, among others. There's a greater selection of rims and aerodynamic parts, if you choose to alter the look of your ride. You can buy any of the cars from the new dealership in any colour available with no mileage, meaning you don't have to wait hundreds of in-game days for one you need in the used car lot (Though, retaining the used car lot may have been useful in obtaining a car cheaper, but with previous mileage). Some of the cars are also cheaper than in 5. There is now visible statistic tracking (If there were any in 5, I never found them). Paint chips have returned but are now infinite-use; you just need to pay use them. If this is your kind of thing, you can also buy racing suits and helmets to customise your driver. Loads times are significantly shorter and your cursor freezing while it loads is almost gone. You can choose what colour you get whenever you win a car. Leveling up is gone completely; now you just have to complete races to advance in career mode. Better than 5 overall.
    Neutral aspects your mileage may vary: Downforce no longer affects Performance Points (PP). There is now nitro injection you can install to boost acceleration, though mostly not needed. Microtransactions are in effect, but they are unneeded if you play the game often; they're only for buying credits.
    Mildly annoying aspects: Remember how after winning each group if races, get get a reward car? Well, now it's reduced to getting one whenever you finish half or one of the sections (b, a, ib, etc.). They don't even tell you what reward to expect, aside from credits. Paint chips are harder to come by; you don't get any with the login bonus anymore. The "default" button on some of the tuning parts is gone completely, meaning if you messed up a tune, you can't reset it. They only tell you three of the "typical opponents" in each race, giving you less of an idea what to expect. They don't even tell you what PP they're set at, but instead the make (because THAT'S useful information)! Credit rewards in career mode still low; the cars they make you buy (plus any tuning) often cost more than what you win in total for the specific races you use them in. Tuning parts have increased in price. All this designed probably to encourage aforementioned microtransactions. Whereas in Gran Turismo 5 had everything available (to view) from the beginning (albeit unlocked), here, you must pass licence tests to unlock new races and modes. Also, more tire screeches can get tiresome. They tell you what car to buy first.
    Terrible aspects that should revoke your programming licence: You're not allowed to view or tune a car you are not currently using, meaning that in order to even look at one of your cars, you must change it to be your current one. Your headlights are as useful as a candle. On some tracks they work nicely, but on others, the fact that they're on changes visibility by zero. NASCAR and kart races should NOT have been in this game. At all. The primary problem with these is that you must use a car on equal power to your opponents, which is fine. But that means since you start at the rear of the pack, it's too hard to catch up and maintain the lead with the limited laps given. Also, PP and tire limits in career races? With a 70% power limit in NASCAR. Why!?
    My top three grievances (in no particular order): 1) The times you are expected to finish in the time trials are ridiculous. The earlier ones are pretty lenient, but there are some that are impossible unless you do everything pixel perfectly. This is exacerbated by the mission races that have opponents on the track that do nothing but serve as obstacles on the narrowest parts of the road. 2) The AI They cheat. A lot. They almost never spin out, but they can use the PIT manouevre on you all they want, which is extremely prevalent in NASCAR races. If you rear-end them, you get a penalty (disqualified in time trials or reduced speed in S races). But they rear-end you? YOU spin out and THEY go on their merry way. Or YOU get a penalty for THEIR crummy driving. Or both. Also, why are there shortcut penalties in career? In online games, I understand, but who the hell cares if a shortcut is taken against cheating AIs!? 3) The physics Pressing left on my control stick should NOT make the car go right and vice versa (no, it's not a problem with my controller). Or straight. Cars 100 cm tall should NOT flip over when they hit bump on the road 2.5 cm high. Cars should NOT be magnetically attracted to grass/dirt and walls.    … Expand

    Bought this game the second i found it was out. Game is improved version of GT5, but that does not slow it down. Positive changes: You don't get stuck into loading screen all the time, multiplayer features much better, easy to look for top dog's track replays and "career" mode is much better this time around. Chasing gold medals pumps up difficulty.

    The biggest negative aspect of the game is still opponent AI drivers. They drive like crack heads and only time you see them trying to clean pass you is on a long straight. Otherwise they just pump you out of the road, hit you etc etc.

    If you have good wheel & Pedal combination. This game is must buy.    … Expand

    The GT series has been going downhill since GT2. Compared to Forza the handling is slightly better especially the modelling for inertia but the racing and gameplay is lacking. Most GT6 races are simple overtake all the cars to win much like a challenge from GT5. You are always the fastest but are just trying to make all the overtakes before the flag falls. It never feels competitive. WhatThe GT series has been going downhill since GT2. Compared to Forza the handling is slightly better especially the modelling for inertia but the racing and gameplay is lacking. Most GT6 races are simple overtake all the cars to win much like a challenge from GT5. You are always the fastest but are just trying to make all the overtakes before the flag falls. It never feels competitive. What ruined it for me was the online challenges. I barely got my novice licence when I completed a few challenges and got millions of credits. That took away all the fun of the fighting for the small upgrade that will allow you to get to the next race up. Again GT2 had a great balance but GT6 is very poor. Last but not least the cars don't sound right. If this was a super NES I would forgive it but it isn't and I cant. Someone said GT6 cars sound like vacuum cleaners and they are not far off the mark. Forza is ahead here but all genres could improve in this area.

    Overall disappointing but consistent, could do a lot better with fresh blood. If you own 5 then don't waste your money on 6 just for slightly better handling cars.    … Expand

    In some ways GT6 feels like a robust expansion pack, but there are enough general improvements and additions that you'll find this release makes GT5 obsolete. A fine return to form at the tail end of the generation.

    Without a doubt the best GT in the series thus far, but held back by aging game design and time-delayed DLC features. [January 2014, p70]

    Gran Turismo 6 continues the familiar path, not taking any risks but delivering solid, fun driving experience. Standard cars still really need a major update though. [Jan 2014]
