    "Gran Turismo 5" may have taken a lot of time to arrive but everything about the whole package suggests that it has been well worth the wait. Read more

    • Incredibly slick presentation, Unbelievable amount of content, A must have PS3 title
    • Lack of vehicle damage, Loading times a little long, Requires time and patience to fully enjoy the experience

    While GT5 could have done with more time, incredibly, to iron out a few of the kinks, there's so much quality on the track and so much to do off it that you'll easily forgive its shortcomings and revel in its successes -- of Read more

    • The massive roster of cars and how they all handle differently, On the track, it's the ultimate racing sim with great driving physics, The game modes. Career mode is addictive and rewarding and then, of course, you can jum...
    • The inconsistency of the graphics; some cars look excellent and others just look good. Same goes for the scenery, The B-Spec mode. Does anyone really want to watch a race and just bark out orders to the driver? Still, it m...

    Play it drunk with your friends some time, that's always a lot of fun, and way less deadly than when you do it on the freeway at night. Read more

    • A decent racing game, lots of different cars, plenty of stuff to do and see, looks good, sounds decent enough;
    • It can be a little overwhelming, and tremendously repetitive. There's nothing you haven't seen before. You will probably become terminally bored before you finish the game.

    I think it would actually have made sense for Polyphony Digital to strip some of the content from the initial release of Gran Turismo 5 and deliver it later as downloadable content, if only to make the experience more focused Read more

    • A lot of racing events, Variety of cars, Special events, Handling model
    • Long load times, Multiplayer setup

    Work good for GT5, but PC I haven't got any games to work. Read more

    • Strong force feed back, and easy to setup
    • PC racing games not all supported.

    Neither fun nor realistic. I'll pass on any future Polyphony releases. There are plenty of people out there that like this title; I'm not one of them. Read more

    • The Nissan racing program and umm, the marketing hype.
    • Very disappointing release in my opinion. Does not feel realistic, force feedback is terrible, graphics are lacking, and it's not as fun as Shift/Shift 2. Damage model is non-existent (based on my dated experience). Instea...

    • Driving dynamics are very realistic. Everything is in great detial.
    • Damage is not very "damaging." Forza 4 is about to come out.
