GT5 disappoints due to being “only a racing game”

I don't understand what the big deal is?  It's still being called the second best simulator of the generation.

People shouldn't be attacking it, and others shouldn't be getting defensive about it.

Play it and enjoy it.

Actually, many are calling it an unrivaled driving experience, (including IGN).

Sorry, I was simply talking about a cross-section of reviews and opinions as aggregated by Metacritic.

I am sure if we searched hard enough, we'd find reviews that called PURE or BLUR the best driving experiences of the generation.

I won't argue that GT5 has had some awful decisions regarding it, but come on. I'm talking about big sites, known sites that credit it that way. You show me one review calling either BLUR or PURE the best driving games and I'll concede. But right now, it sounds like your just trying to slight the title.

This is the defensiveness I am talking about.

All I said in my post was that GT5 is being acknowledged by most to be an amazing racer, just not the best this generation, and that is shouldn't be attacked.

Nor should anyone feel the need to defend what is clearly a great game.

Chill a bit mate.
