We will see what ISR put up eh. They review sims properly with a wheel.
And what's with the Forza hatred all the time?

Game is averaging 8.6 and several perfect scores, here is your crow the people who said, (Won't get any higher then 7). Considering the people knocking points off are mainly because it is a sim, and not arcade like forza.
I think that guy's review is harsh, but he does have some valid points. After playing GT1-4 I think he's sitting in the best seat in the house to judge the game. As games progress you expect them to get much better, and that's what's going to hurt GT5's review score the most: expectations.
He's completely right in saying what the hell have they been doing for 5 years. For a game to be made over such a long time and after having such a big budget but producing 800 standard cars is deplorable. 8/10 cars are standard - disgraceful.
How can you keep renewing the genre you ask?
-Add a decent damage model...to ALL cars. Even gta has better damage
-Add weather effects to ALL tracks
-The ability to change wheels and paint ALL cars
-Have a car list people want and not have 40 skylines and 100 mazdas
-Go Karts? Surely they could use their time better than including go karts.
-Cockpit view for all cars, who cares if the exterior doesn't look as good as premium cars, surely you could model the interior to at least provide this view for all cars.
This whole standard/premium thing is a joke. We're in 2010, ps3 has been out for ages, yet PD can't allow you to paint your standard car a different colour or change its wheels - pathetic!
Adding weather effects to only some tracks? Surely it'd come down to how weather effects were coded? You'd think that once you made the weather effect you could 'apply to all' sort of thing? Maybe that comes down to minor details the game has such as puddles in specific places on race tracks, i'm not sure.
The main problem IGN tried to point out, I think, is the double standard in GT5. Great attention to detail would go to a particular area, while other areas doesn't seem so. The standard/premium thing seemed to be a big deal for them. Also, the fact that there is a lot of content in the game, but they're also very limited. For example, weather, day/night being only in select few tracks, and visual customizations to only a select of few cars. It's like of a combination of greatness, and mediocrity. To be great, you have to have just greatness, with few flaws.
As much as I love GT5, I think it was fair. They did mention that the physics was great. For a game to be really great, it would have to be consistent, and GT5 just doesn't seem consistent enough for them I guess. Also, they gave it Editor's choice if that matters.
One thing I noticed about their review is they don't seem to have unlocked the full potential of damage in the game. I didn't see any in-depth stuff talking about mechanical damage, dislocation of body parts, and even rollover. I may be wrong cause I read it through pretty quick.
No, it's competing with Forza. Forza was made to be Microsoft's answer to Gran Turismo.they compare it to forza. sure. but its not competing with forza
its competing with GT4 / GTpsp and ... the real world (right?)

I personally think, from playing the game and then seeing the reviews that Polyphony have pretty much ballsed this one up, yes the driving physics are absolutely amazing, but theres no THRILL in the overall game, its bland, boring and stiff, I can't find any excitement in this game anymore which is just simply heartbreaking. Having said that, the reviews are plainly biased and unfair, its quite clear that a certain american rival has paid off the journos and the journos at the same time have been readily taking aim to shoot down Sony's big game.

No, this is a moderator who isn't impressed by people deliberately posting off-topic.this is Sparta? [/randomER interjection]
To me the physics is the thrill! Making one have to be technically good to be a badass at the game, then taking that online to compete against others, then to do it in varying cars, that have been specifically and personally tuned by u for specific tracks, that is the thrill and what racing is and all it needs to be, nothing more.
Are you not bothered about leaderboards? I am.
