Here is a nice lil portion of this

"We’ll get back to you on that one.  You see, there’s a problem here: the game’s out now but TheSixthAxis, along with (it’s safe to assume) every UK outlet with an advance copy, only received final code at the weekend.  That’s – if you count Saturday and Sunday – four days to not only write and prep the review for launch but also play through the entire GT Mode, sample Arcade and play and test the online functionality – this, you’ll no doubt appreciate, is impossible.  That’s why, if you’ve not already skipped to the end, there’s no score here – assigning such an abitrary figure to just a subset of the game would be disingenious."

and also

"No, not quite, but it’s pretty damned near close.  Gran Turismo 5 is essential gaming for race sim fans, something that will grow with you the more you play.  Sure, there’s some visual issues here and there and the game’s UI is fussier than it needs to be, but as a racing game, which is presumably the reason everyone’s buying the game for, it’s unmatched, unrivalled and as comprehensive as you could have ever hoped for.  It’s unfair to score the game at this point, though, we’re barely a quarter of the way through A-Spec and less through B and it has continued to get better every step of the way."
