Gran turismo is a great taste of the full upcoming game in 2009. The game should not be thought of as a demo but as a full game. The game has 80 cars 16 tracks and full 16 player multiplayer in full 1080p HD. The Gran turismo series has always been known to provide pure realistic driving equal to the real thing.
What Features Are In the Game? The game has lots of features for example; 80 real licenced cars from over 30 manufacturers includin newcomer Ferrari. The game also has news which keeps you updated with the gran turismo community. Also provided is a kind of channel which shows car related programming this feature is called GTTV, however no programming has be put up, we won't expect any until the game has been released in the US. We have though been promised Top Gear to be viewable on GTTV. Steering wheels can be used on the game, even specific ps2 wheels are compatible with the game. Logitech have however made a first ever full 900 degrees rotation with force feedback.
How is the game online? Online the game is very dissapointing, despite the game being 16 player the reason that it is dissapointing is because there is no damage in the game. Since there is no damage feature other gamers tend to just keep bumping into your car constantly until you lose control of your wheel. The good this is that the creators of Gt5 have promised damage which may just come as early as august as a download.
How does the game look? The game looks absolutely stunning in HD. Clearly the best looking racing game ever created. This is no suprise since all the gran turismo games have always provided stunning visuals. Sometimes you just want to stop your car just so you can admire how it looks. The amount of time they put into making the outside of the car they spent the same amount on the inside. Cockpit view is may favourite camera mode. Because the interiors just look so stunning, and every car has its own interior.
How is the gameplay? The gameplay is fantastic. Each car drives differently which is very enjoyable. This is what the gran turismo series has been famous for. If you enjoy games like need for speed or burnout then this may not be the game for you since the gameplay of this game is more drivin towards simulation rather then arcade racing. During the start of the game i has purchased a mazda and thought this was the best car on the game however then i had purchased a BMW which drove so much more smoother then the Mazda and gave a much more better engine noise. This is the great thing about Gran Turismo you can try out all of you fantasy cars, or if your planning on purchasing one you can try it out on gt5 before purchasing because the driving is that realistic.
Should you buy this game? If your a racing simulation fan then yes this is a deffinate must buy!! also if your a PS3 owner and have not got this game I urge you to go out and get it immediately!!!
