Review: WOW - Worth the wait? Abso Bloody Lutely - I got this on Monday (2 days before release) and have played a good 30 hours up to now, it's lived up to my expectations and beyond. I've just come online and found people giving it 2 star reviews and then saying they've only played it for a few hours, is that really enough time to say the game is rubbish? I think not.... The graphics are breat-taking, the cars are gleaming, the tracks are details and realistic (and there's loads of em). The sounds are amazing too, the engine gives a realistic bassy tone on larger engine cars (especially through my surround sound), the soundtrack is excellent, love the Vai, satriani esq Guitar shredding and the 70's/80's mild techno, JMJ / Vangellis style and this is then fused with modern pop, rock etc... all adds to the experience. Also things like driving through snow you get that chrunching sound as you turn your stearing wheel. All very realistic and entertaining. The gameplay is also superb, played the first day with the controller and found the frst few hours a little difficult but went through the licenses and learnt how to control properly and nwo am ripping round circuits like it's nobodys business. Yesterday I got the Logitech GT steering wheel (£79.99 from desertcart) and OMG it's stunning, you get even better control with the wheel and pedals... I bought F1 2010 a few weeks ago and found it too hard but am trading that in as the F1 on this is SO MUCH BETTER although not as many options etc, the go-karting is a nice addition too. My favourite tracks are bar far the snowy ones with mountains etc, really great fun, I keep finding myself smilling in awe and disbelief. So perfect? no, it is a little slow at loading and I installed the game as recomended which too about 30 mins, but we're taking about 30 seconds per race. I also didn't like that when playing in arcade you select your track and car and then when you've finished you have to go all the way back to the main menu to select a new track, should maybe add a random option so you get a new track each time, would be nice if you only have 30 mins to have a quick play. I do think I'm in a slightly better position that others with a 63" 3D TV, Samsung 7.1 Surround, Detatched house so the sound is cranked up and the Mrs at work till 9pm each night so I have 5 hours of uninterupted gameplay in the lounge, I doubt I'd enjoy it as much on a small 32" tv or something without the surround and 3d but man does it make my TV look amazing. Although I have yet to try the game in 3D. I am truly gobsmacked at why people don't like this, my advice, buy it and make up your own mind (and get the logitech GT).
Review: One word: Wow! - Spoiler Free: If your thinking of buying Gran Turismo 5 and haven't already then I suggest you get ordering it. Millions of people played the first instalment of the franchise back in 1992. The game offered users a chance to buy both new and second hand cars and develop them through a fairly advanced scheme, this created a new type of racing genre similar to what some have stated an `RPG' developed game. When Gran Turismo 2, 3 and 4 were released some of these features were lacking the game overall offered many additional elements but did not contain the fundamental necessities to increase game playing time and user experience. Polyphony digital then releases Gran Turismo 5 prologue, which I myself also purchased, based on what I have experience so far the full Gran Turismo game is non comparable. I was eager to buy this game when it was first released but believed the game wouldn't be to my greatest expectations. How wrong I was. Despite other negative reviews on here created by teenagers and various other gaming enthusiasts, let me assure you this game has raised the bar on all driving games. Project Gotham racing 3 for the Xbox proved highly entertaining and popular also selling many copies but has no way near the content Gran Turismo contains. If you loved the first Gran Turismo game then this game is for you: #Stunning breathtaking visuals with exceptionally realist sound effects and physic controls for cars Enhanced car sales showing a huge array of cars that players can buy before racing. #Tuning up section, highly advanced and individually based for each individual car and its specifications #Wide variety of music choices that can be customised for enjoy ability. #Repair aesthetics shop (GT Auto) to change the look and mechanics of the car replacing default/stock parts for increased performance bumpers spoilers and bonnets. #Huge selection of tracks, featuring Clubman stage 5 from the first instalment and the popular route 11 at night track. #Expansive exclusivity with Britain's popular Top Gear program containing several racing stages through the 8 track used in Surrey #A spec and B Spec modes designed to allow players to improve their credibility for their driving skills i.e. Experience points, the higher the number the better cars you can acquire and the more advanced the races you can take part in. #User interface; this game offers a very in-depth friendly user interface within the GT Mode (career mode) for navigating round the various sectors, from car importation when winning championships or for the license scheme which let me add is highly advanced There is so much to the world of Gran Turismo, they deserve to know what we think and how they can improve the customer experience program, because believe me they'll be looking at reviews we write, let them know in my opinion this game is literally 10/10 however the fundamental element which concerns me and the only thing that concerns me is the loading times between matches. Due to the graphics, visual effects and the general complexity involved within a game of this calibre your looking at 20-30 seconds before you play the game, and that is offline. This review does not cover online play mode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Could Have Been Great
*by R***Y on 25 November 2010*

This game could have been great if it were not for a couple of major issues. Like other reviewers have stated, the loading times really drag on and spoil the continuity of the game. The loading delays not only occur when starting races, but also between certain menus. Don't expect to be quickly shuffling between your garage and tuning or dealerships. It is a slog to work aroung. Unfortunately this isn't the game's worst problem. The music played during the menu screens is atrocious. If you like Nintendo wii 'bleepy' souless music then your in for a treat. Having been used to playing other racers over the years which focus on modern dance or rock tunes, I was amazed at how much it can take away from a game by having the pathetic soundtrack of GT5. In places it is so depressing or irritating that I turn the sound off when in the menu screens. I never though I would say it, but I actually prefer the MC from Need for Speed Pro Street to this! All this can be forgiven to some extent when focussing on the racing itself. The handling of the cars are genuinely great. In particular, when you hit the brakes hard and the screen as well as the controller vibrate to a subtle level making the driving experience immersive. Unfortunately this is heavily contrasted by the collisions which are laughable. During a light shunt with another car or barrier, you get a fairly realistic, low thud. However, plough into an object at 100mph and you get exactly the same minor thud. This really does detract from the game and makes a mockery of the claim of being a 'real' driving simulator. I'm not particularly concerned with damage modelling, however, I do expect a major crash to give a sense of heavy impact through audio feedback. Furthmore, there is no sense of penaltly by crashing into other cars or barriers. This is a major problem! Much has been said of the game graphically. My opinion is that the premium cars look fantastic whilst the standard versions look quite average in comparison to other games like Dirt2 and NFS Shift. The actual tracks are a mixed bag. Some look utterly amazing, such as London, however others look totally plain and uninspired. A very important point to note however, is that the frame rate of the graphics is the smoothest that I have encountered in a driving game. Much better than I have seen in Dirt or NFS. It may be the case that grapical detail may have been dropped in places to increase frame rates which is a great thing in my opinion. Other games can become very jerky when travelling at high speeds, but GT5 does not. One other point about the graphics, is that generally that are unrealistically bright and summer like (except for the wet weather and night races of course). This might seem like a silly point but compared to games such as Dirt2 it makes GT5 loose a bit of the grittyness and realism that we've come to expect from racing games. In summary, this is a game with great car handling but is let down by some major flaws. Note, I have never played Forza, so can't make a comparison. ***UPDATE TO REVIEW*** Regarding the slow menu screens, the publisher has anounced that this was due to being signed in to Playstation network whilst playing the game. Even though you may not be playing it online, the game still accesses the servers whilst navigating the menus. Currently the servers have been experiencing serious overload which has resulted in the heavily sluggish menus. If playing the game whilst disconnected from the internet the menus are much much faster and consequently the game is considerably more appealing. As such I've raised my rating from 3star to 4. The game, however, is still let down by the daft collisions and rubbish soundtrack which stops me from giving it a 5.
