It's always nice to have the game case/instructions anyway rather than just a 'virtual' one. I wonder if it'll come in a case or just a paper slip in the PS3 bundle...Will go for the disc version then, ain't got any PS3 games at the moment (apart from Warhawk) due to lovefilm trial so the disc can more or less stay in all the time.

wheres the light sensor
The 1-series has a combined light & moisture sensor built into the interior mirror, which clips to the windscreen. The real 1-series you can see the sensor unit (dark blue rectangle on the windscreen, with a lightly coloured splodge - the light bit is the light sensor), but the windscreen obscuration on the GT5 version is just black - which means the lights would always be on
And don't suggest that maybe the one in GT5 is a lower spec - The obscuration on the 'screen would be completely different.
In reality though I was just being facetious.

Damn, if they can't even include something as simple as that then every car must be crap and inaccurately modeled - I've gone right off this game now!

Well im sure the Audi TT with fully moving rear spoiler might make up for it, PGR, Forza didnt manage that

No good for in car view though!
Unless you can see it move in the rear view mirror.No good for in car view though!
Well at least the game has a very playable incar view, ive found it much easier to race at fast speeds more in this than other console racers with incar. Spent last night doing some nice incar driving and achieved 16th on the Suzuka Short Ferrari 599 Time Trial, if any of you fancy a go be nice to see your times.....

I could never understand why other games didn't include moving spoilers/airbrakes etc. even if it was only a cosmetic touch.
Glad GT improves on this.
I'll definitely be having a go, when I get the game! Though I doubt my times will be anywhere as good as most people.

Project Gotham Racing has had air-break spoilers in them.
Seems like a fair review to me.

Exactly, they seemed quick to point out it's limited offering of cars and tracks, but mentioned sod all about the price (£17 for god sake) As wyrdo has already stated, they have been a little petty, atleast that's how it comes across.
Seems picky to me, although the score is what I was expecting.
The original?
I'm sure 3 or 4 didn't have them, and even Forza 2 didn't. I'm thinking specifically of the McMerc SLR's airbrake (as well as a few other cars)
Bah, where are the aero wheel covers? It's missing some liveries too? Like the barcode that they use to replace the Marlboro logos.
But yeah, other than that it's pretty sweet... If GT5 is supposed to be the drivers game, that F2007 really must be an absolute arse to drive...
Just gotta get a PS3 now
I think the point of reviews IS to be picky, I think all too many these days let too much go uncriticized. They're making aware what is and what isn't in the game. By saying it's not got as much in (or even a fraction of what's in) as GT4 is fair enough. Sony have gone on about the extra space of Blu-Ray, Joe Public may be expecting it to have something close or more than Gran Turismo 4, which is fair enough, but it doesn't. I think they're pointing that out.
In summing it up I think they are bang on, the structure of it isn't great (something I mentioned before) and London isn't in it enough (another thing I said after playing the Japanese version). London being the most interesting track in it should have been the one they pushed more, but I played the speed circuit more (and that's a poor track with poor graphics).
Overall, 8 out of 10 is possibly one higher than I'd give it, but at least the comments are fair and accurate.

Project Gotham Racing 2 most definitely did, I thought PGR3 did too (but that's going back 2 years now). I never used a car with air-brakes in PGR4 so I couldn't say.
