Not talking about the TG track.

Im talking about the Test Tracks from the previous gaves.

GT4 AND 3 had 1/4 mile tests, Top speed test tracks... and a few others!

this is a real let down for me , i hope they patch it with some, they need a top speed test track
 
4/5 from me.

Quite happy with it suprisingly, even after all the negativity surrounding a few things but the one thing that bugs me the most is the damn Standard Cars. I could go into the ins and outs of my reasoning but it could take a while.
 
Great game let down by a few minor things and one major thing - the AI. In a race you need to overtake and then secondly maintain your lead. The latter isn't really possible in a tactical, close cut way. If you block the AI's path to overtake, they don't hold back, they simply ram you and you just go flying off.
 
Coming from PC sims like GTR and GT Legends I was hoping they would have improved the handling vs Prologue, but I thought it was still laughably bad. I was driving a Gallardo at the Nurburgring, turned in at 70mph, the car just plows on in a straight line, tyres squeal etc. Is that what would really happen in a Gallardo? I don't think so.

Another major problem for me is a the sound. Everything sounds so flat and cheap. It all feels generated, the sound bears no relation to the actual car its meant to be. Don't even get me started on the music - dreadful.

Then 2 minutes of menus/load screens vs. 1 minute of 'fun' driving. Whole thing is just painful.

2 stars.

3/5 Its an average racing game. If you removed the "Gran Turismo" from the name it would be rated a lot less...

Hmmmm not sure. I think if someone else had made this the rating would be through the roof.... To think a new team putting something like this together.

I think PD/Sony perhaps hyped the game a little too much. Whereas a new team wouldve been a little more humble!
 
Probably say 3 overall, single player is not very involving, the constant need to try and find used cars to run in series is annoying, does not seem a long game to complete either, online needs a fair bit of work. If just rating the driving would give it 4 easy for the fun factor it gives.

great game, the actual racing is good, but these points detract:

no 2 player replay - I mean, seriously WTF?! This is almost beyond retarded in so many ways.

Loading... Loading... Loading.. The menus are terrible takes ages to load, just so you can press 'back' and then waiting even more.

Unloading your cars from delivereys -- again loading and very Japanese presentation, just slows down the whole process for no reason other than 'look, shiny.'


No shortcuts, i.e. looking to enter arace, then you don't have the car you need, so you go back up half a dozen menus, then back down a few menus to buy the car, then you forget what your wanting to buy, then you remember then you go back, then you ralise you need dirt tyres, back up a dozen menus back down, hoenstly did ANYONE even playtest this, it utterly ridiculous. There's so many ways it could be even marginally improved.

G25 wheel not 100% compatible (clutch, gears etc)

Reversing. Is a button - lol wut. ? Why can't I select reverse with the paddles? And have handbrake as stick forward? Controls should be 100% customisable.

But with a G25 wheel, 50" plasma it's quite an experience. It really reminds me of playing an arcade game, about 20 years, ago, back when arcade games were impressive.
