jeuxvideo.com is the most imporant website in term of traffic even if it is not the best one

but, I must say, this review become a joke when their start talking about the "bad" GT5 physics when it is actually superior to any other console racers ...


Whha GT has never been about "Great Physics"...Remember playing dodgems around the inside of every tight bend when the races were tough.

GT is about rising above its imperfections and what it aspires to be, more than what it actually is.

Anyhoo I'm going to wait for all the reviews to be in.

I've heard all sorts of comments flying around from "It's a Jagfest" to "The most beautiful console game ever".

Its what you make of it that counts.

Never been about great physics??? Are you serious?  Gran Turismo has like everything perfected to make it so even the slightest changes to a car will make it handle exactly how that car would handle in real life.


If you believe the way to take a high speed corner is to slam into your competitors at the apex then speed away unscathed having taken a physically impossible parabola then I am just in awe at the power of delusion.

slam into your competitor = cheating too ...

so you are not good enought ?

(sorry if I misunderstood)

I know people have the ability to do that, but tell me this: When you sum up the racing as a whole for the entire game, WHAT game out there has better physics?  Please be specific with reasons, including how their physics regarding cars handling the exact way they do in real life are better, etc., etc.

""""Whha GT has never been about "Great Physics"...Remember playing dodgems around the inside of every tight bend when the races were tough."""

Note sure if I get what you said :

you were cheating with the game because you were not good enought to win a race ?


Well I tried not to cheat but sometimes the inevitable clash would occur.

Far from cheating, I would feel cheated as the game seemed to reward poor driving. I hope its been addressed but early indications are that the dodgems remain a feature.

That's what I got out of it too...what racing game isn't there bull crap things that you can take advantage of like this???  No matter what video game you are talking about, no matter what genre, people WILL find ways to cheat.

I don't say there is better ! Just that what currently exists is flawed.

Its a bit like sending a rocket full of colonists to Mars having it explode halfway and everyone say

"Wow we never got that far before. Well done everyone, that was Great"

This thread is so fun!  It is the perfect battle between fans and non fans of the game!  I have to say now, though, just so people don't blame me for it, because I don't want it, I'm not a fanboy at all with my comments...I'm not even getting the game, it is just funny that people belittle this game so much when it is clearly above and beyond anything else of its kind.

Uhhh you guys know that this VERY SAME SITE gave GT5P 15/20.........let me say that again 15/20......

So according to this site Prolog is better than the full game.....LULZ!

Credibility is 3.....2.....1......gone!

Why??? Expectations have been raised since then, it might be a bad review I don't know I haven't played it yet, but this doesn't prove that.



Baalzamon on 23 November 2010

So on another note, somebody said the reviewer gave Prologue 15/20, what'd they give Forza 3...that game got a 92 metacritic, and it will be hilarious if this game gets worse.

except this game is about driving, not stunt car
