Alright....
I played for about 6 hours straight today. Got my B license with gold on all 10 courses (this was challenging and i plan on doing it with every license...it will take a while) Got up to level 7. IF your going to play it get a good steering wheel....bottom line. Its not even the same game without one.

Heres a quick review.

First and foremost...if your a GT fan you will love the game...no doubt just go and buy it. If you want a game to pick up and have all kinds of insane action and instant gratification...it might not be your type of game.

Graphics-8

Plain and simple...sometimes they are a ten and sometimes they are a 5. The shadows look like shit a lot of the time. The game has some aliasing issues. Overall it looks good. Graphics dont make a game in my opinion anyway and never have....but it does help. I expected more....but they are good enough. They can be breathtaking at times and better than ANYTHING I have seen before...but their are almost as many moments of disappointment.


Gameplay/controls- 10.

Rally cars, go karts, nascars, all types of cars and different handling characteristics for each. Different tires, different setting...it goes on and on and on. NOTHING matches this game when it comes to gameplay in my opinion. You can make it very difficult and rewarding depending on set up and car etc or you can fly around in an indy car with arcade handling. The driving experience is PHENOMENAL

Lasting appeal-9.0

My god their is so much to do and explore etc etc. The online is supposedly great (havent tried it) . This is an important aspect of the game and I would say this games lasting appeal would probably be a 10 if it wasnt so familiar to past games (another slight downfall). One might get bored with it after a couple years. A 10 would be never lol.

Some negatives.

I expected a bit more polish in this game. Like I said sometimes in regards to the graphics in certain things it literally looks like ps2...like they just threw it in and said **** it.
Loading times are maybe just a bit too long at times but nothing too out of hand.

If you are a fan of racing games I am not sure how you could not like this game.
But this is the type of game that you need to put some time into to really fully understand the scope of it and how great it really can be (especially if you are new to the series). A quick trip to a friends house to only try a couple different things could definitely give the wrong impression/leave quite a bit out.
If you love cars and racing you should love this game.

I would like to talk a lot more about a lot of other things....but that would take a LOOOOONG TIME and not likely any of you would read that much anyway.

And before a bunch of people start talking about it...
In regards to vs forza. Wow....I could really care less. Its video games. Not worth arguing over. If you dont like it dont play it...who cares lol.

Overall score= 8.5

I wish I could do that to

[Redemption]

I walked into gamestop today and the kid at the counter said "preorder, right?"

Me: Nope, but I know youve got a copy in that drawer, just for me.

Him: You should buy a lottery ticket, its the last one.

LOL score.

[Josh_101]

Sup guys. Thought I'd join up here and share a few pics I've taken from the photo-mode.











You can basically go into arcade mode and jump right behind the wheel of the '10 Camaro SS and a bunch of other cars too.

[Doc]

I'm doing it the hard way in GT mode. Takes forever to get through those stupid license tests with those under-powered cars that understeer and plow like a piece of crap. You have to get your A license before you can actually drive a car yourself. You have to reach level 9 experience as a driver and have $35 grand to get a Camaro.

I'm just shy of level 8 so I hope to hit level 9 and get my Camaro today. Graphics are great and this is better than Prologue was.

Got the new Gran Turismo yesterday, and had my camaro by last night. The price, HP, weight are all accurate. I don't drive from the interior veiw, but it is also very accurate. The redline is also accurate. The car runs and drives really good, although it pushes the nose a bit, All non race cars on the game do this anyway.... I won the beginner FR series races with ease against c4 grand sport corvette, 4th gen camaro, etc...
I remeber some talk on here before about whether the car was going to be on the game or not, well it is!! Just thought I would be the first to "reveiw" it, LOL... Can't wait to heavily mod this thing!!

[DarricSS]

Have not gotten that far yet, hard to get the kids off little big planet to play...

But man, it took FOREVER to load the game, like 45min...sheesh!

[SSOOCH]

You could have just played arcade mode and drove the new Camaro the first race.

Such a good game! I love the kart racing.

[Huggerorange73]

The kart racing is CRAZY fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooch, I'm sure you're bummed out like me that the only stripe options for the IOM car in the game is white

[SSOOCH]

yes, that does bum me out. Makes Me want white stripes just so it matches the car in the game!

Got Forza Motorsports 2 for $4.99 at Gamestop the other day and finished the Amercian Challenge and unlocked the 1969 Z28.
