The premium cars are gorgeous, Online play with up to 16 players, Dynamic weather, day-into-night racing, The Nurburgring Nordschleife is great
800 cars just copied over from previous games, Clunky interface, Collisions still aren't right, AI still not good enough, In a game that's about cars, making the majority of them lower-quality models without interiors is ridiculous, The shadows look terri
I'm not sure that's being rendered correctly. Online gameplay seems to work great, when it works, but the servers were unable to handle the volume of traffic on launch day, and they were spotty this weekend. You can gift cars to friends, compare trophies...
Abstract: A word of warning: this review may not tell you what you want to hear about GT5, but you probably need to hear it. If you're a sensitive GT aficionado, PS3 fanboy that thinks FFXIII going multiplatform was a travesty, or a 360 fanboy hoping to see one ...
Abstract: Like a classic car that has been lovingly but only partially restored, parts of Gran Turismo 5 look as good as new, while others are showing their age. Developer Polyphony Digital's latest "real driving simulator" introduces plenty of great new feature...
Accessible and rewarding for newcomers and veterans alike, Uncompromisingly realistic handling, Loads of great cars to drive and varied courses to drive them on, License tests are no longer mandatory, Premium cars are incredibly detailed.

This accessible but realistic driving simulation is both sublime and subpar....
With this fifth full instalment in the series, Gran Turismo manages to hold onto its legacy of genre dominating driving sims, but only just. If and when Gran Turismo 6 arrives on the PS3, Polyphony Digital might have to look at bringing more innovation...
An amazingly deep racing game that offers an almost mindboggling amount of racing challenges, cars, tracks and features. Superb Online Mode that gives the game incredible longevity.
Inconsistent graphic quality. Slow and sometimes frustrating user experience. Its sheer size and complexity means GT5 is not a particularly accessible driving game for more casual players.
Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game – driving is as exhilarating as anything that’s gone before, and slavish obsession with the minutiae of many of its cars ensure it's an encyclopaedia of automotive delights. Its brilliance o...
Abstract: There's a quote, attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto, that could well serve as the mantra for racing enthusiasts waiting to play Gran Turismo 5: "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever." Much like Miyamoto and other notable perfectioni...
