Metacritic is a great way to see the real score of a game as long as you toss out the top handful and the bottom handful of scores that lean twoards the pro and anti sony side. I mean look at heavy rain, a games that was widely acclaimed by critics and players, then look at the MC score list the bottom of the list is filled with silly low scores and the top has a good bit of 10s and whatnot, still psm is going to give any hyped game a 10 on ps by default, or darn close to 10 at any rate.
IGN forums are a horrible yardstick to measure anything, IGn is chalked full of console war trolls on both sides of the isle that defame and down vote each others games and systems. It is not even worth reading the comments in the console sections.
To me the menus were not a big deal i mean they are standard gt menus, would have been nice if they got a year 2010 update but if you played gt1,2,3,4 they are old hat and easy to navigate.
Biggest flaw with the game are the graphic ones, the shadows have been confirmed to be a bug, the non premium cars do look just plain bad on close inspection, but that said during actual racing bad models and low res textures do not matter a bit. But some of the cars that got the standard treatment are just plain shocking like the veyron? I mean a car that many people would like to drive since 99% of the worlds population will never see let alone drive one, and it is a chunky low poly mess, not that i thought the real car looked good to begin with heh, but after 5 6 years how could they not give a few more must try cars the premium treatment.
It is just so jarring when the premium cars look so jaw dropping good is all. I mean the SLR mclaren is amazing car to look at and listen to that growl of that v8 is just pure music.
I am totally baffled why if they were just porting the models in why they just did not at the very lest slap some hd textures on them that would have covered up the jagged seams and whatnot. After 5 years i guess it is a totally valid complaint why they did not lest do that.
I can see an 8.5 to a 9.0 ish range being a valid average. If PD and sony goes full out with updates and extra content via dlc they could have an amazing game. I wonder if they might do premium dlc cars packs that would replace the standard models, i mean some cars already have a standard and premium model oddly like they did start to do that to a degree, maybe that is a hint of future things to come?

I guess they really appreciated actually driving the cars.
