| scottie said: lol @ everyone who, after IGN released their review said things along the lines of "I never trusted IGN, only gamespot are worth reading reviews of." Let me guess, you're going to chuck a 1984 and quickly change your position to 'We have always been at war with IGN, we have always been at war with Gamespot. We have always been allied with Gamernode'.
Anyway,good to see it's still getting good reviews |
"This is simultaneously the most accessible GT game yet and the most uncompromisingly realistic driving game on a console to date. It's unfortunate that much of what makes Gran Turismo 5 so great is under the hood rather than on display for everyone to see, but a powerful engine trumps a perfect paintjob every time."
It is continually referred to as the best at what it does, with superficial things such as menus and loading time being among the biggest problems. They focused so much on the racing, which is unrivaled, that these suffered. It seems Yamauchi will try to fix some of these things with patches, that should help a bit.
I think part of the reason Forza got such higher scores is that it covers the ground of a game very well, it does all the superficial things better, but the actual gameplay not necessarily, although it's obviously still good. Also, Forza, at least before 3, didn't go in with too much expectation. It was basically always second best even though a GT hadn't even been released this gen lol. It's easier to get higher scores when less is expected of you. Basically, less hype can make you look better.
