"If there's a lesson to be learned from Gran Turismo 5 (the game itself, not its epic journey to stores), it's not about braking zones, exhaust manifolds, and curve apexes -- it's about patience. Because Gran Turismo 5 contains a seemingly unending supply of driving experience to enjoy, if you just allow yourself the time to discover it."

Nice

SO true.

the game opens up as you progress, PD shoudl have just explained that better. 

they idiot proofed it a bit much.

What I found odd is that, in the very first months of GT life, after you reach level 1 and unlock the very first thing in the game, the game makes it perfectly clear that in order to get the full experience of the game, you'll actually have to dedicate time to it.

I mean, what's the fun of having everything unlocked right from the start, where's the challenge in that? Heck, even GT5's competition in the console sims department, Forza 3, doesn't have everything unlocked from the get go aswell.

How come that's a flaw for GT5 alone, for some reviewers/players, amazes me.
