Redefining and Nostalgic

By Prodijames (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

Great game with some of the best graphics i have seen in a racing game. Seems well placed together and looks to be a game that could keep you entertained for the long haul. My only discrepancy would be that the handling on the cars (turning...

Good game but nothing special

By njf64 (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

Ok so its not particularly original, however the graphics are still very pretty and the gameplay; as a racing game is still second to none. Only critisism here is that the AI racers are dull and predictable so not a game if you are looking for a...

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue

By Stuart Andrews (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

The PlayStation 3 needs a flagship title, but is Gran Turismo 5: Prologue enough?

GT5 Prologue shows the series striding forward in all the right directions, with superb visuals, excellent vehicle physics and a decent online mode. Only two grumbles: damage modelling remains missing, while the AI still isn't quite competitive enough.

Gran Turismo 5

By dapsycho (gamesxtreme.net)

Games Xtreme burns rubber and checks out GT 5 for the PS3. Was the game worth the wait?

GT 5 is a beast there's no doubt about that, but is it the racing game equivalent of St.George that can slay the dragon that is Forza 3? It comes close, it really does, but Forza still has the edge for me.

Gran Turismo 5

By Chris Morell (dpadmagazine.com)

After a monumental wait for serious driving enthusiasts, Polyphony Digital's fifth true instalment in the beloved Gran Turismo franchise has finally arrived. The series has always striven to live up to its moniker as the ‘real driving simulator,'...

The landscape has changed considerably over the half decade it took to produce the game and it’s certainly not for everybody, but fans shouldn’t be disappointed thanks to some solid gameplay mechanics and a beefy selection of extra modes.

Gran Turismo 5

By Stevie E (consolegaming.eu)

A six year wait has resulted in a near-perfect driving simulator game.

After having tested the 911 Turbo S with Gran Turismo 5, there was no doubt that the racing experience that the game delivers, amplifies when using a wheel. If you are looking to purchase the perfect wheel to compliment your game, there is no better...

Gran Turismo 5

By Mike Rose (play.tm)

There's a point around three minutes into the Gran Turismo 5 intro video when we sat back, completely stunned by the cinematic prowess on display, and thought to ours 'if we were proper car enthusiasts, this would probably be better than a porno'. As...

One final shot to GT5's chest - The B-spec mode is a joke. The basic premise is that you take on a team of racers, and watch them from the sidelines, radioing in commands such as 'maintain pace' and 'overtake'. At first we enjoyed the idea, until we...

We spent a tournament calling orders and our guy eventually placed 5th overall. Then we tried a new tournament, but didn't do a thing and left the controller on the side. This time, he placed 2nd. Understandably, we didn't play B-spec mode much after this

Gran Turismo 5 Review

By John Robertson (incgamers.com)

Has it been worth the wait?

Uncompromising in design and steeped in car loving snobbery, GT5 is a petrol head’s dream. For gamers it’s good, for car enthusiasts it's quite brilliant.

Gran Turismo 5

By (computerandvideogames.com)

Worth its wait in gold?

Great handling ; Tons of cars and tracks ; Special events are great ; 16 player online races

Tracks ain't pretty ; Organising online races is a chore ; Community system is underdeveloped

Another good, but not great, iteration of the GT formula. If you're expecting GT5's game mechanics to surprise you, then you're going to be disappointed.

Good but not perfect

The only down side to this game is that if you was to crash your car at 200mph you would just bounce off a wall without a scratch. my personal opinion

GT 5 will be 5 stars

it is poberly the best and most realistic car game ever made so far.

Fantastic

From the off, I will make it clear, there are two reasons I didnt give this game a full 5 star.
