0 Gran Turismo 5

It’s been six long years since the last release of Gran Turismo and now the Polyphony are back with a bang. Gran Turismo 5 has hit the markets and you will be dazzled to see just how prudently the cars have been designed. Those six years they spent really speak when you see light refracting across the headlights and glossy sculpted cars which are almost immaculate.

And it is not just from outside, get behind the wheels and you will find the very same effort that has been put on the bodywork, every single detail is there. While Forza Motorsport 3’s is renowned for it’s concerning, Gran Turismo 5 offers marvelous physics and car mechanics. That is where the real strength of GT 5 is manifested.

As you brake you could feel the screen juddering as the weight of the car sways towards the front wheels and you could see the tires skimming along the tarmac. While the game offers such realisms there are few foibles too and among them car damage is the one. Hitting head on into the will hardly damage your car. But now they have given a patch to download which will enable the damage, but hey why didn’t they put it earlier?

Another thing that really bugs you is the twisted menus, on the track the game looks splendid but as soon as you enter the menus, it spoils everything. So all in all, the game is a good real driving simulator but with few shortcomings.
