Product Description
Product Description
The next installment of the award-winning Gran Turismo simulation racing franchise, Gran Turismo 5, is designed for play exclusively to the PlayStation 3 system. Known for its signature beauty and precision, this highly anticipated racer showcases new jaw-dropping cars, real-life tracks, and diverse racing styles. Gran Turismo 5 promises to deliver exciting advancements to the series, and in the process deliver in the most comprehensive racing experience ever.
True to its pedigree, Gran Turismo 5 takes the GT series, as well as the simulation racing genre as a whole, to a whole new level. The game features over 1,000 realistically rendered cars. This is nearly 300 more than were included in GT4 for PlayStation 2, and literally several hundred more than what was available in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, the first GT game variation developed for PS3. This tremendous list includes standard categories of vehicles, including stock cars, tuned pre tuned vehicles and tunables, but keeping with modern automotive technology GT5 also includes the latest, hybrid and electric car models. Just like any car, these can be raced, but as with their real-life cousins, players can also do things with these cars like monitor battery power as related to speed and other car usage. In addition, GT 5 features over 20 courses, more than 60 variations, a new physics engine allowing for realistic damage, a new in-cockpit view, HD support, and much more.
- Real simulator - The definitive version of the most realistic driving game ever finally hits the PlayStation 3 with more cars, tracks and features than ever before.
- Virtual showroom - Photorealistic graphics simulate hundreds of cars in exacting detail - from the smallest nuts and bolts to the unique handling of every model.
- Stig friendly - New official licenses include Ferrari, WRC and NASCAR - as well as the test track from the BBC's Top Gear show.

Fun:
There is such variety in this game to keep you interested for a long time. The graphics are brilliant and the driving simulation is very accurate.
There is training to get you started in racing, not particularly just for the purpose of the game, but in real life racing tactics. The designers of GT5 take it quite seriously and make it close to realism as possible. Training will come handy as any mistakes in your steering, breaking etc, are not forgiven. These mistakes will make you crash and lose valuable time. Driving dynamics are quite true to life, so your responses are expected to be the same. Also improving in racing tactics seem necessary to win later on, as you need these to gain an extra fraction of a second to beat the next car in front of you. Level of difficulty is also adjustable. There are many cars available in Arcade mode to get you going for quick races. Most modern cars here are adjustable in the many options available (i.e. ABS level, steering sensitivity, type of tyre etc etc.).
In GT mode you keep earning money so you can keep upgrading your car. You are making your way up in the racing world starting from the bottom (go carts - where Lewis Hamilton also started I believe). You have several choices of cars to buy and their spec is available to view and consider what's the best buy for you currently within your budget. Would you buy a nearly-new car with high mileage, high BHP or buy an older car with moderate mileage, with moderate BHP with some extras? How much would you want to spend, do you need money for anything else. The resposnsibilty for picking the one that suits your current situation is yours alone. Would you like to part exchange it and buy a better one as you earn more money. You also get rewards for winning races and completing training, and also sometimes simply for signing on to PSN.
I bought this for 3 times what it is going for at the moment, and never thought it was a waste of money. At under a tenner it is an absolute steal. It's worth more than that for the thought and effort that has gone in to the game.
Set yourself up with a descent set of pedals and a steering wheel and you really have a simulator as close as it gets to real racing (that is available to the masses).
This is a smashing driving/ racing game and probably the best out their at the moment as claimed by many.

Fun:
This is one of the best games ever. I love cars and this game gives me everything that I always want - all car races in one place. Most of all I like the 1000 + available cars. ;)

Fun:
Simple, if you want a realistic track based driving game, choose grand turismo 5, if you want a crazy non realistic fast paced exciting driving game, choose need for speed. And if you like top gear, note... the top gear test track is in grand turismo 5! Also note for anyone using ps2 controllers with the ps3, they don't work, you must have a ps3 controller.

Great fun!
This was my first game on PS3 and i love it! Big variety of race tracks and the chance to pimp up your car by visiting the Parts shop. Simply a great game!

Not a fan
Not a fan of the title- only took because was free. Really not impressed with this game unfortunately- but I'm a casual gamer so maybe not the right audience!

Very good but by far not as much content as advertised.
Even though the advertised numbers are impressive, boasting over a thousand cars,etc, there really aren't that many cars you'll actually use. Read more
