The cars, their handling, the driving experience, weather
The racing experience could be more dynamic
It's still a dream game for the sort of serious petrolhead for whom GT has always been the gold standard of driving games and - while that's no longer the case - GT5 will still give them week after week and month after month of pleasure...
The incredible physics, lengthy career mode and moments of graphical beauty
Terrible AI, inconsistent visual quality, naff car damage
The suffocating burden of expectation will ensure that racing fans will be especially critical of Gran Turismo 5’s minor failings. The inconsistency of the graphics engine is rather galling, and the neanderthal opposition AI hasn’t evolved since the fi...
