I agree with this, except I think GT5 looks marginally better with the premium models.
I'd probably go with 3.5/5
GT5 - how you rate it?

I have Forza which I assume is the next best. I can't explain why, GT just feels better.
Technically though I would argue GT is possibly also better, perhaps less tuning options but more tracks, cars, events and just nice to play imho.
don't take it as gospel. Just my oppinion, I haven't played both exessively yet.
I lol'd at your original comment because it came across as blind fanboyism, to claim GT5 is 'several levels above any other driving game' is laughable.
Forza 3 is it's nearest 'competitor', they both have thier strengths and weaknesses, but for me Forza 3 is the better of the two, but it's all subjective. Neither is 'several levels better' than the other though.

4/5 for me based purely on the physics model, the is the best cars have felt to drive outside of PC sims like iRacer.
4/5 for me
i can get past the long loading times and inconsistant graphics but what does annoy me is the ****** AI, far too often when they have a faster car they ram me out of the way, i've even changed lanes on sartha on the long straight thinking i will let them pass and then slipstream/out break them, only for a car to change to my lane and send me spinning.
actually just thinking of the above makes me want to lower the score but i will leave it as i do enjoy the mp side /

your car must be pretty overpowered no? if u cut back on the bhp, make sure you dont have more bhp than everyone else and dont have less weight, then im sure you will find it harder?
No actually, that's generally using cars around the same kind of performance level as the rest of the field. The AI is just slow.
And to my other point, has anyone got "proper" damage yet and when did you get it?
If we're talking real full on cosmetic damage then.... No. GT5 does not offer this.
The only game that comes close is the Burnout Series. Burnout made its first showing on the PS2 many years ago.
Its a shame that today's "Sim" racers cant display similar levels of cosmetic damage!
I'm confused. There were several gameplay videos before release that showed cars (I can specifically think of the premium Impreza rally car) with doors etc. coming off on impact - is this in the final game or not? There was also much talk that you had to reach a certain level before this was all available.
Not sure about your Burnout reference either, ever played Grid?
Even more confusing when the back of the game box states vehicle damage
FM3 had very good cosmetic and mechanical damage, so I guess Dair has not played that either
The AI is rubbish, take the endurance races for example the AI is made up of 2 fast cars, 5 medium cars and 4 slow ones, so for the player to find a competitive car its just pointless.
I almost forgot about Grid!

Pump your brakes.

And just for the record I've played Forza 3
Lets not be silly now.
Forza does not simulate full on cosmetic damage.
A few pieces fall off..... Yes this is more than what GT5 appears to offer. theres no denying that.
Play burnout and Grid..... or F1 for that matter. Those games simulate damage a lot better than Forza and GT5!
Yes let's not be silly in defending GT5....F1 the front wing falls off and maybe a wheel, that's it? have you played it? indestructible rear wings and chassis...How can FM not show good cosmetic damage? they can't rip wheels off as that is not cosmetic, they can dent the car, scrape the car and make parts fall off, that is cosmetic damage, so how does it not do it?
Forza simulates damage, both cosmetic and mechanical very well, but let's stick to the topic and ask where GT5's is, as it states on the back of the box...

To be fair whilst Forza 3's damage model is much better than GT5's lame attempt, cosmetically both games fall short of arcade stuff like the Burnout and Flatout series' (Burnout Paradise had the best cosmetic damage in any racing game, it was awesome). The only 'serious' racers to have cosmetic damage approaching that of Burnout was Grid and Dirt 2.

Gloves are off again!
I said Forza does not simulate full on cosmetic damage. I never said it was good or bad!
Fact of the matter is some games simulate cos-damage better than others. GT5's cosmetic damage is far from great. Forza damage, although better than what GT5 currently offer it too is far from GREAT!
