This series has been around for a while. The first Gran Turismo game came out in 1997 on the Playstation 1 console and featured over 140 cars. Gran Turismo 2 came out in 1999 and featured over 500 cars. Finally Gran Turismo 5 came out in 2010 and featured over 1000 cars. At least that's what the box claims. In all reality, the game features about 20% premium cars (premium cars are vehicules which can be driven from inside the cockpit with the wheel, dashboard, etc). Of the 1000 cars, about 100 of them are Nissan, 100 of them are Mazda. And what can I say about the Nissan Skylines car variations. On paper the car list may seem impressive, but with all the duplicates
and variations, the number of cars dramatically drops down.
The visuals are pretty though. Very realistic. The menus are typical Gran Turismo style and races take ages to load (that's if you decide to drop most of the Bluray disc content onto your hard drive), if you do not, may as well take a shower while the race loads.
The creator of Gran Turismo has always been a perfectionist. The PS3 has been with us for a while now, and it took quite some time to finally get our hands on this much anticipated race simulator.
After a long wait, you can finally play Gran Turismo online with up to 16 players.
Gran Turismo is far from being a finished game. And for that reason I give this game a 6.5/10
