Tweet Gran Turismo 5 has been out for over three months, yet sometimes waiting a while to post your review is a good thing. You see, there have been a number of patches to tweak the game since its initial launch that are very telling about the latest i...

I was starting to think this day would never come. We’ve all been waiting so long for the much-anticipated release of Gran Turismo 5. Even as I write this were are two months shy of my last review for 2008’s Prologue; an ambitious attempt to release a...

It has been five years since Gran Turismo 4, which is the same length of time that Gran Turismo 5 was in development for. An extremely early GT5 prototype was shown at E3 2005, and since then there has been a wave of jaw dropping trailers as well as...

Selling 423,000 copies per day for a whopping 5.5 million units sold in its first 13 days, Gran Turismo 5 is now officially the best-selling videogame for the PlayStation3. It's also a solid contender for game of the year. Five years in the making, GT5...

After years of delays and a wait that almost put Polyphony Digital's latest racing game, Gran Turismo 5, solidly into vaporware contention, it's finally here. The PS3 now has a true flagship racing game, one that goes beyond Polyphony's two previous...

Gran Turismo 5 does not make a good first impression. Lengthy development process aside, sitting down to play the game feels like Polyphony Digital are playing some kind of practical joke. After a humorously over-the-top introduction, which features re...

Expert Review It's hard to understand the hype around Gran Turismo 5 and the way it makes people blissfully oblivious to all that is wrong with it. Mind you, GT5's mistakes aren't subtle blemishes on an otherwise pristine experience. I'm afraid what...
1000 cars, some special events stand out, kart racing, cockpit view, accurate reproduction of the Nurburgring...
Broken graphics, inaccurate physics model, dim-witted AI, cursory and cosmetic damage modelling, bad foley (car/engine sound) work, looks and plays just like GT4...

Sony took a mammoth five years developing Gran Turismo 5. On top of that the game saw innumerable delays because of many different reasons, some of them suspected to be PR ploys. Being a fan of the franchise I was a bit nervous rather than excited beca...
An extremely varied and capable driving experience, Bspec mode is amazing.
Opponents seem never to crash, but if you're slightly nudged you spin out.

Gran Turismo 5’s long awaited release is finally upon us, and though Sony’s hype machine would have you believe otherwise, it is not the event it has been hailed as. Upon starting the “cutting edge” sequel, you’ll immediately be greeted to an optional...

There's a point around three minutes into the Gran Turismo 5 intro video when we sat back, completely stunned by the cinematic prowess on display, and thought to ours 'if we were proper car enthusiasts, this would probably be better than a porno'. As t...

Gran Turismo 5 has been half a decade in the making. In those five years we've had some good news, some bad news and a delay just weeks before release. Every single piece of Gran Turismo 5 related information was scrutinized, right down to the trees th...
Gran Turismo 5 is an amazing achievement, whatever issues it has is washed away in a tsunami of absolute driving perfection. There are very few games out there that teach you something every step of the way and that is what Gran Turismo 5 has done. It...

Gran Turismo 5 finally clicked for me shortly after my souped-up, scary-fast Nissan GTR went airborne during a particularly ill-approached overtake on the Nurburgring. Greed is a killer on a track as claustrophobic as the Ring, and I knew that I was in...
Premium cars; fantastic driving simulation.
Tons of ugly standard cars; menu hell; frequently idiotic A.I.

Well friends, here we are. Gran Turismo 5 has finally launched. The series has provided a marquee title for each successive generation of Sony consoles—the original Gran Turismo sold many gamers on the PlayStation, GT3 was hotly anticipated for the P...
The premium cars are gorgeous, Online play with up to 16 players, Dynamic weather, day-into-night racing, The Nurburgring Nordschleife is great...
800 cars just copied over from previous games, Clunky interface, Collisions still aren't right, AI still not good enough, In a game that's about cars, making the majority of them lower-quality models without interiors is ridiculous, The shadows look terrible...

A word of warning: this review may not tell you what you want to hear about GT5, but you probably need to hear it. If you're a sensitive GT aficionado, PS3 fanboy that thinks FFXIII going multiplatform was a travesty, or a 360 fanboy hoping to see one...

Like a classic car that has been lovingly but only partially restored, parts of Gran Turismo 5 look as good as new, while others are showing their age. Developer Polyphony Digital's latest "real driving simulator" introduces plenty of great new feature...
Accessible and rewarding for newcomers and veterans alike, Uncompromisingly realistic handling, Loads of great cars to drive and varied courses to drive them on, License tests are no longer mandatory, Premium cars are incredibly detailed.
Quality of visuals is wildly inconsistent, Outdated and impractical online lobby system, Too easy to win early races simply by entering in a powerful car.
This accessible but realistic driving simulation is both sublime and subpar...

Good things come to those who wait, or so they say. It's a proverb we'd hoped would ring true for Gran Turismo 5, a game that's been in development for over five years and continually pushed back from one vague seasonal release window to the next over...
With this fifth full instalment in the series, Gran Turismo manages to hold onto its legacy of genre dominating driving sims, but only just. If and when Gran Turismo 6 arrives on the PS3, Polyphony Digital might have to look at bringing more innovation...

The actual driving in Gran Turismo 5 is brilliant. If driving cars is all you care about, Sony and Polyphony Digital have you covered. These days, I want more. I want a streamlined career mode, an exhaustive set of online features, cutting-edge visuals...
The driving is superb, Looks stunning at times, Lacking essential features, The racing isn't great...

After an extremely long gestation period and seemingly endless delays, Gran Turismo 5 is finally here. Was it worth the wait? Here's where you can find out!I've been a huge, huge fan of the Gran Turismo racing series ever since it debuted back in 1997...
An amazingly deep racing game that offers an almost mindboggling amount of racing challenges, cars, tracks and features. Superb Online Mode that gives the game incredible longevity.
Inconsistent graphic quality. Slow and sometimes frustrating user experience. Its sheer size and complexity means GT5 is not a particularly accessible driving game for more casual players.

For Polyphony, it's all about the detail. Take one of Gran Turismo 5's premium cars to a night-time Kyoto in the Photo Travel Mode and you'll see where those six years since the last installment proper have gone; they're in the light refracting across...
Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game – driving is as exhilarating as anything that’s gone before, and slavish obsession with the minutiae of many of its cars ensure it's an encyclopaedia of automotive delights. Its brilliance o...

There's a quote, attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto, that could well serve as the mantra for racing enthusiasts waiting to play Gran Turismo 5: "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever." Much like Miyamoto and other notable perfectioni...

It didn't even register at first. I put my review copy of Gran Turismo 5 into my PS3 and started it up, watched a lovely cutscene and then began playing. No fanfare. No parade. No banners hanging from the ceiling. Here I was, in a slow car and on som...
