Graphics aren't everything

User Rating: 9.5 | Gran Turismo 5 PS3

I can understand some people's frustration, but you cannot honestly tell someone this game is "disappointing" and mean it. The premium cars details are out of this world, nearly all of the tracks look magnificent, and by far has the best physics and simulation of a console game- hands down, no questions asked. Sure, a livery editor similar to Forza would be fantastic, but personally i'll be fine with adding a few stripes to my car. I don't want to break my PS3(the game already uses like 95% of the PS3s capabilities)

GT6 looks very much improved even though not all has been announced- at least 200 brand new premium cars(well, some are from 1957) and has an improved physics model, adaptive tessellation(cutting down the processing power needed) and everyone is expecting some kind of livery editor to be officially announced at the Tokyo Game Show next month, along with several updated features.

If you haven't bought the game yet, get it. Get the XL edition(Comes with many DLC cars+tracks) and you can get it new for around $15. Gran Turismo 6 will come out in early December and trust me, that will be all it's cracked up to be.

    I've been a fan of this series since the original Playstation edition, but I don't think expectations for this series have ever been so high as this. I was fortunate enough to get my copy a bit early and thought I'd s... Read Full Review
