"...But if you're not already in love with these types of games, Gran Turismo 5 won't do anything to win your heart."
I don't get why so many reviews say this... They don't say it to any other games. I didn't see anyone saying in a MW2 review that if you aren't in love with FPS games that you won't like it.
It's like saying Modern Warfare 2 would be a 10/10 for a FPS lover but not for a fan of third person shooters.....
Kinect feels like the Eyetoy and that fascination is over. See what I did there? You have double standards if you look at only one side of the coin.
Who cares if it's shipped or not?! It clearly states in their press article that retailers are demanding more, you don't ship unnecessary items and retailers don't demand product that is not selling. Stop trying to make excuses that it isn't selling when it clearly is.
Who cares about Prologue? GT5 is out! I kept Prologue as the value is now almost worthless and it wouldn't be worth it to me to trade it in.
Don't worry, it's going to be patched in this month. Mechanical damage will be in there.
I don't have any problem with the menus... They aren't any worse than GT2 or menus from other games I don't think.
Anyway it's a real testament to how great the game really is when all you can complain about is aesthetics!
@BryanBegins - You're just a troll that has nothing better to do with his time. Most of the reviews have been in the 8s/9s/10s. As for the flaws, have you ever considered that maybe some people don't make minor imperfections the main focal point?
Of course it is and rightly so, this is a great game!
I agree about the Jazz, I just turned it off in the menus though and only have electronic music now. :)
Have they? Maybe you missed all of the 9/10s and 5/5s? Oh yeah... I guess everyone just avoids those...
How could a menu be a huge criticism, especially when it's not that hard to navigate anyway? It's actually super easy. GT2 didn't have any better of a menu...
What the heck? This review seems off from the general opinion of the game... :\ A 4/5 is the lowest it should get. 3/5 is just off which is sad considering that I usually agree with Giant Bomb.
Glad to see Gran Turismo is rightfully in the list.
PS3 GoTY I'd say is GT5 or GOW3. Heavy Rain is a contender too but as for May? I'm not sure...
I would recommend it. It's kind of like a car RPG.
GT5 is in my top 5!
Yeah real life looks better, but GT5 looks pretty darn good!
Oh I'm not saying it's perfect but much better and not poor. I really don't see what people expect from AI from a racing game anyway?
I disagree with the AI, it is so much better than previous GTs and they actually try to avoid you. Last Gen Gameplay? They do know that simulation driving games have been out since before the PS2 don't they? Other than that I agree with the Pros/Cons.
@Alpha-Male22 - Big is right, IGN called it the best sim on consoles. Many sites called it the best sim on consoles out there yet rated it lower than other sims. Doesn't make sense.
Pretty much all you are doing is pointing out the flaws, but the pros of the game outweigh the cons triple-fold. All reviews I have seen have emphasized the flaws and described them in detail, but made no such effort for the rest of the game.
