    GT HD Concept is the most impressive PS3 game I've seen thus far. I thought the opening scene was actual footage of a real car racing around a track, until I played the game. The graphics are incredible. Control is good, but a steering wheel (or use of the motion sensors in the Sixaxis controller) is sorely needed. I'm looking forward to the final game.

    One of the best free demos I've ever played. The only thing keeping it from a 10 is its "forced finish" bug, which Sony has addressed via a 1.1 rerelease, but has neglected to remove the false low times from the online Rankings charts. Even so, this is a very promising glimpse into GT's future. If Polyphony manages to improve the AI, add online play, and add One of the best free demos I've ever played.

    I've played every GT and this points to a fantastic future for the series we all love. Graphically awesome in HD with the most realistic lighting of any game and the best recreation of driving physics anywhere. A great freebie, shame there's just one track...

Let's hope they reconsider, I think the console cost me enough...… Expand

    good video but the game is quite crap.
    I downloaded the demo on the ps3 and I admit that the graphics are amazing. but the songs are all classical music which doesn't flow with this type of game. there is only 1 good car to drive which is a ferrari. the cars don't show damage like nfs pro street. it is impossible to drift in drift mode with a fast car because the car either    good video but the game is quite crap.

    OK, GT games might look great and handle great, but have you guys heard of the online? About 90% of the games unlockables will have to be bought online, thus causing you to spend anywhere from $400-$1000! That's ridiculous, all I want is someone like Insomniac to make more great games and have the makers of GT not try to rip off PS3 owners anymore than Sony already has.

    For a free game you get a lot. I don't call this a demo, it's just a small game to promote Gran Turismo. And I liked it a lot. Although this is not my genre so I won't be buying Gran Turismo.

    It's really good for a free demo. This contains 10 cars (if you don't count the tuned versions of cars) and the Niger Short Track, in forward or reverse directions. The main mode of the game is Time Trial, which you go and get the best lap time on the track with. You can also unlock a Drift Trial mode, where you drift to score points.

The graphics at the time look quite stunning, you can actually see the interior from the outside! However, this game is a bit too similar to the PS2 game, Gran Turismo 4. It has the same tyre noises and there's no interior view (which would be introduced in GT5P). Anyway, it's a decent game and you should get it at any chance, which you can't, as this game has been removed from the Playstation Store.… Expand

    GT is going in a good direction. If they can tighten the AI so the cars aren’t racing in the same line, clean up the catch up AI, add a damage model, and build on the weight physics than "GT5" will be a racing game to reckon with.

    This is far too flimsy to to take up more than a few hours of your time. [Issue #150, p.78]

    Filing microseconds from your best time should keep you amused for the long wait until Gran Turismo 5. If you want to show anyone what the PlayStation 3 can deliver then this is without question your technical demonstration.
