Still sounds like a good game, but not quite delivering it considering it was 6 years on the making. I wonder if that's another doing of the japanese developer curse that hit this gen... maybe it's time for Sony to reconsider leaving GT to PD's hands. 

EA does better racing games nowadays. Turn 10 does better with one third of the time. Tell me, which was the latest innovation Yamauchi brought into racing? Unlock car damage and cockpit views? He'll always be remembered as the man of the all delay and no deliver now on. Better yet, what the hell Sony's japanese first party delivered this gen so far? Nothing.

Only museums live from the past. Yeah, damn nice PD developed the first GT, how amazing it was... but they can't cut it anymore. Like most japanese developers, they still live in the PS2 era delivering the same old games. A hundred Skylines and Mazdas when most of your userbase is in damn Europe? Five real tracks and bad damage? What the fuck.

Posts like this really reflects the mentality of today's gamer.

It doesn't matter that GT5 is the best simulator available and that it's the best at giving us the experience of driving. Nope that doesn't seem to cut it anymore for the western gamer.

Anyway, I hope that you give it a try before doing these kind of claims. Seems to me that you're only reflecting the negatives of the reviews and outlooking the positives.
