i see the only owners of the game that praise it should be listened to. Those who are dissapointed are obviously lieing that they have it. Please explain how GT5 kills forza from a racing perspective. As in explain in detail your experiences with both games. Funny how a few days isn't enough playtime for reviewers to make negative judgements but is more then enough for owners to make positive ones.

Kowenicki is right. Some parts of the game just look outstanding (London, Tokyo) but then again, there are quite a few parts where the game looks pretty bad, dare I say worser than Forza. Some tracks are a bit bland and but some are really good. However, car models look preety damn awesome but I haven't tries any non-premium cars so I'm hoping they don't disappoint in that aspect.

Fortunately, the physics are great, same with the races and licences aswell as the new features. The second-hand dealership makes a comback which is sweet as is photo mode. Kart racing is also surprisingly fun.

Those are about the only things I've tried though; while the graphics ARE disappointing, the rest is great. I've played the game for about 5 hours so I know what I'm talking about.

Btw, the trees...don't even go there.

Facts? Like direct captures from the game itself.

I think it was someone here who said that the levels look like they were worked on by different teams. I think thats true, or some of the older courses were just straight ports from the PS2 GTs.

I'll be on a 32" 1080p Samsung LCD 60hz (2009)

Despite popular belief I am a Sony supporter but I'm not a fanboy. The visuals in the game are a letdown on certain areas. On some parts you look at it and say wow but on others it looks like a PS2 game. Now I know why they only had the Night level with rain on display at the PS hub because that is breathtaking.

Still reguardless of what I said the game still is the best looking game I've played this year with Castlevania giving it some very strong competition. I know this message will get some hate but I'm only stating the truth. Other than that the games fun but the constant installs even after the 8GB install that took an hour to complete gets annoying as hell. Honestly if I was a reviewer I too would mark the game down because of the installs alone. Its no wonder the games not getting great reviews

Do the graphics look worse than GT5 Prologue at times?

Thats gotta be a stretched image from a standard definition screen capture. That image looks NOTHING like what I've been seeing at 1080P. Sorry, but I'm just not buying it. Any hater can take a screen capture at 480P and stretch it up to 720P or 1080P where it degrades quality even further and pass it off as a direct HD screen capture.

Road textures and grass textures aren't 100% perfect, but they sure don't look like THAT. Thats GT2-esque, and you won't be seeing any of that in GT5.

On my 55" Sony LED-LCD 240hz /w custom music running, I HONESTLY couldn't ask for a better racing experience... and thats coming from someone who extensively enjoyed Forza 3 while I was waiting for this game.
