I realise this won't be for everybody but...
The kids gave me GT5 for Christmas. We've looked forward to playing this game for YEARS through all of its delays. We bought a first generation PS3 in anticipation of its imminent release...
It seems to play ok so far but I am HUGELY disappointed with the sound, yet again!
Have these guys never heard an engine, especially a big American V8? Seriously disappointing...
GT3 and 4 were both renowned for their appalling audio so I thought some real effort would have been put into it this time - wrong.
If you have this game try the 427 Cobra out, you'll be amazed... and not in a good way.
I guess the F40 doesnt sound too bad once the revs get up a bit but why can't they get a big V8 even close?
As far as the graphics go it looks very similar to GT4, clearer with much greater distance detail but it leans a little towards the cartoony now IMO.
Driving realism seems much of a muchness with the older games so far.
Be prepared for a large update if connected to the internet - 680MB, not bad for a game only just released... (Australia)
BTW those old Cammer Mustangs were seriously fast if this game is to be believed!
Playing through a pretty decent home theatre system so I think I am being fair.
Hopefully there are a lot of improvements I have yet to find in this game, apart from the crash damage, otherwise I'm wondering what I've been waiting for...
