Most deffinatly not the best racing game ever...

GT5 is a good game but it doesn't tick all the boxes. Especially if we are comparing to Forza 3. The sound is not as good, the crash physics are not as good, the tracks overall are less varied and not as good, the AI is nowhere near as good, the customization is nowhere near as good, the ability to design your cars is not in it, the menus are basic, has less cars that look detailed 200 compared to Forza's 400 etc.

The areas where i think Gt5 is better is the graphics of the overall game. The 200 premium cars look better then any other cars ever created, period. The racing world looks awesome from the green grass to the racing stands.

I am a huge racing fan, if you look at my gamer tags your see i have pretty much every racing game this gen on both consoles. GT5 is a really good game, but best racing game this gen in terms of simulation still belongs to Forza 3. I think overall the reviews reflect that.


You've opened up the floodgates now!

Is so annoying that sony fans boys cannot accept that your preferred franchise its not perfect. What is wrong with a game that scores 8? Oh... that a lot of guys, fan boys of course, that never played the new game, but yet says that is the best racing game ever. I yet think the reviewers are being very  kind because is Gran Turismo.

Driving physics are better than any console game. Period.

It is still the best driving simulator, perhaps not the best racing game ...

Your entitled to your opinion mate. But i disagree. The racing physics are hampered by other things such as the sound, the lack of realistic damage and poor AI. When racing a car will not just keep to the same line if you are around other cars. One of you has to make a decision of do you brake and let the guy have the line, or do you go for it and don't hold back. In GT5 you just collide and the AI car will push you out the way and continue on his sunday drive. That is not realistic. It is not a true simulation of how that is when racing.

But that is just my opinion. I don't want to sound like i am bashing the game because i don't think it deserves to be bashed.

ok, I understand your point.

But driving is not racing.
And IA is not physics.
Just go play with your buddy if you want a true competitor

So this is still the best driving simulator.

Also, it is not my opinion, it is based about what people saied. They are all aware of the problems. But they are also clearly aware of the things that functions ...

It depends on if you mean physics in terms of bumps on the road, when you go over a racing barrier and so on?

If you do then i agree. But as i tried to explain physics in racing means something different to say a fps game. Things like how the car reacts to being hit by another car, how the performance of the car changes over time in regard to things like tire/fuel use. If the fuel is low the car should go faster due to less weight being carried,  how other cars react to your driving style, how the track changes as the race progresses with more rubber being down in certain places. And so on. Add into that things such as sound of the car as it is in various different states, if your going at 150mp your obviously not in 1st gear, how the car handles after having two wheels on the grass etc. In my opinion GT5 does not do those things better then other games and thus in my opinion the actual racing physics are not better. But as i said it depends on your definition of physics in racing game. Some would say physics of how the car crumples up when crashing. Which again is not as good as other games.

Thats not a fair comparison though, that's an arcade racer.  I do think it's fair to compare it Forza though as they tout that as a racing sim as well.
