After his 20 hour Thanksgiving Day GT5 marathon! Read, and then buy.

I think that's a very honest and well written review. However, I would appreciate it if they updated their impressions when they get a little further into the game. They mention they're only at level 11 right now and considering I played all of 2 hours and am at level 5 (and still feel like I'm playing a tutorial), they probably haven't experienced much of what the game has to offer.

- very good review

- I also cant believe you can be level 11 after playing 20hours

I m level 12 despite not having played that much

I think it is because of the "special events" where u can get MASS XP if you gold them 

nice

It's even better in 3d!!!

i really dont agree with may reviews. GT5 is very slow in the beginning of the game and it picks up later in the game. beginning part is rather, boring in some ways. I felt the same with gt5p. but once you get the rhythm and play some VERY competitive online races and challenges, it sucks you right in and you cannot play any other game. It takes more than a month to go to that stage and I HIGHLY doubt those reviewers/critics played long enough to FULLY EXPLORER the entire game. 

aside from gt5 looking/playing almost exactly like gt prologue i didnt expect much i mean i know theres nascar and go cart racing but everything else pretty much as i expected so for me i didnt have high expectations although i was disspointed the online did not work day one but everything pretty much as i expected and what i expected was gt4 hd
