On a scale of 1-10 I would give Gran Turismo 5 a . . .

8-8.5 for me. Woulda been higher if the car sounds were improved and a fair few other things. Still love the game, PD just need to start listening to their fans - the sales of the game coulda been so much higher than 6.3 million (or whatever) by now.
 
When is was released: 8 - 8.5.
It was an amazing racing simulation, but the game was extremely slow, which bugged me the most. A-spec was too short and B-spec is boring. Finding a decent online game was hard, so I thought I wouldn't like this game for much longer.

Now: 9 - 9.5. I was wrong. Seasonal races, restriction on online games are gonna keep me coming back for much longer. The game is also a bit faster too. If only PD could allow more visual customisation to be done to the standards.
 
GT5 has the workings of being a great and over the course of the coming months, it will be. However, we've waited the best part of 6 years now and still many glitches hinder our real love for the game.

For sure, Remote Races are a great addition but emphasis on the 'addition' part, why wasn't it introduced with the game release?

Ultimately, GT5 has the foundations, a plethora of cars, tracks and unrefined features but any franchise could achieve that.
 
7.5-8.0. Very solid game, but not up to the standard of previous GT games.

I'm not going to sing praises of patches for issues that shouldn't have really existed in the first place - it just goes to show that certain aspects of the game was rushed. I mean, should there really be a patch to allow us to access gear ratios or to restart races in-race?

Not one SINGLE reviewer in that list in the OP had ever played the game far enough to really get to the grind.

I've been playing since release day and have yet to get to the grind. There's only grind if you're hellbent on "completing" the game. Maybe it'll take me years to get to level 40, maybe it's never going to happen. Who cares. In the meantime I'm having loads of fun collecting and driving cars...

Unfortunately, this is my 4th GT so I gave it a 6.5-7

Me too. I gave it a 6.5-7. I guess for someone who's first try in the GT franchise is GT5, this will be a 'total blow you away treatment', for guys like us, it's just a huge face palm to Kaz.

Of course most people who would have voted it below a 5 have probably given up on checking the game's message board. This has to be taken into consideration. I gave up on this game a few weeks ago but still come around occasionally to see what the discussion is (I am holding out hope for the next in the series, I guess.)

I'm in the same boat as you. Even though I pretty much quit playing, I still believe a future update can make GT5 a much better game so that it'll make me want to play again.
 
8.5 - 9.0
it is a great game, and has held my interest far longer than any other racing game I've ever played. (I'm not really very much of a gamer though). I like things that improve and evolve, the additional content and changes since Christmas has sustained my interest.
 
Something i have noticed in every GT game that comes out for each console (ps1, ps2 and ps3) the first one is always the worst..

GT2 was a great improvement on the original GT, GT3 was good but GT4 was much better so i am expecting that when GT6 comes out (im not sure if its for the ps3 though) it will be much better than GT5. (I am not saying the the original GT was a bad game, i loved it but GT2 was better.)
 
I gave it seven.
Graphics: 9.5
Cars: 10
Physics: 8.5
Tracks: 8
Game menus & navigation: 1
Challenge: 7
B-spec: 0
AI: 4
 
I have played the Gt franchise from the PS1 days and this version is weak. I gave it 6.5-7 because the 'ring is good and the physics and graphics are good.

It loses a lot of points for dropping good tracks like Infineon, New York and Seattle (to name a few), no A-spec points, less F1 cars than prior games, lousy rally races, inability to save mid series or mid endurance race and the inability to compress the awful B-spec series. The 1000 cars include many lousy cars that are not worth buying and the prize cars were laughable and useless in many cases.

I am 95% complete and I am stuck grinding the Dream Car series for A-spec xp and grinding B-spec endurance races for xp. There is very little replay value to any of the races, at least in GT4 you could try for 200 point A-spec races or re-do races to sell the prize car.

The patches don't improve much for me because I don't race online and the seasonal series has done very little to improve the replay value of the game because once you have completed them you are basically grinding again. PD would have been better off including real tracks in the seasonal series instead of the Eiffel garbage and the notion of getting a Ferrari F1 just to use it in one series for 2 weeks doesn't make sense

I would much prefer the DLC include the missing tracks from previous GT versions and new cars other than the ones that we have already beaten to death in GT4.

As pointed out by others before me, the initial lustre of this game wears off quickly. PD would have been better off re-issuing GT4 for the PS3 with the improved physics and graphics, it would have been better than GT5.

IMHO, I noticed that the Gran Turismo games with an "even number" (GT2, GT4) are better than their "odd number" (GT1,GT3) counterparts. Hopefully GT6 will be way better than GT5. :)
 
I voted 7.8-8.0 and thats being generous. The standard cars truly ruined this game for me. How can you have a simulation game to simulate driving, without having an interior view looking through the windshield???!! :ouch:

I hope your aware that all of the cars in GT4 were "standard" and GT4 is still a better game than GT5. :)
 
I voted 7.0-7.5. For you guys that rated 9 and above obviously don't realize that what we have gotten with GT5 is a hold back. Most of you that rated this high I am sure that you have played no more than one other GT if that. But of coarse we all are entitled to our own opinion.

GT4 is still a better game than GT5. :)

Agreed. Until PD proves otherwise that they can beat GT4, it will forever be the game to beat in the GT series.

Same here, and I expect the 8.5 to climb.

It's interesting to hear people complain about the grind in GT5 as they look fondly back at GT4. What prevents you from going back and racing the same race in GT5 using a lower-powered car, or a car with worse tires? Doing so in GT4 wasn't a grind?

You make about the same money per minute 'grinding' in GT5 as you did in GT4 when selling the prize car, but GT4 was so much better? You're doing the same thing.

I apologize, PinkCrusade -- not trying to single you out at all. You happen to bring up points mentioned by others, and I'm hoping to find out what I'm missing in that viewpoint.
 
7.5-8 for me, FAR to much is just GT4 HD.

Far too many fundamental issues:
Not enough A-spec events plus too many are single make, not enough races within the events as an added bonus of stupidity for PD.

No saving in championships and enduros - EPIC fail on a monumental level.

Bspec is even more pointless than in GT4. <--miracles do happen

fundamental issues with the legacy of the GT series are not fixed:
No "proper" reverse gear with a Wheel. EPIC fail again.

7. Because it's GT, because there's finally Ferrari and Lambo in the game. Because some cars looks just amazing and overall graphics and physics are pretty good.

yess but mearly 20 of them combined. Forza has more than 40 some.

6.4

I am afraid that, with no description of where you need to put your vote on the scale, and how much to weight certain flaws and strengths, this poll has little validity. When two people with the same degree of dissatisfaction can put in wildly different scores, based on their own individual interpretation of how much they ought to deduct, this renders the vote moot.

There was yet ANOTHER poll that already basically asked the same question, but had the poll based on factors like 'Completely dissatisfied', 'Very disappointed but still playing' 'Mildly disappointed, but hoping for patches', etc..

When the choice was broken down to something more on those lines, only a minority remained in the top ten percentile. With a much larger base sampling.

:bowdown: Amen to that Brother Destinkeys.
 
9.5 out of 10.

All I really need is more A-Spec races and paint able wheels on the standard cars, and this game is perfect for me.
 
I'd give it a 9 as the only things I would change is to add a lot more premium cars, more tracks and more championships in A-Spec and add an online-leader board for time-trials
 
Initially it fell short on so many things, but PD have gone out of their way to fix pretty much everything, and that sort of commitment to a game that's already been released and made its money is commendable.

Even so, it continued from the start, that fundamental feature that I've always loved about GT: A love of cars. I'm not entirely sure how or why they do it, but it's the only game series that properly conveys it.

As far as gaming is concerned, I've practically grown up with the GT series. So I think it's fair to say that I wouldn't be half as passionate about cars as I am now without GT. As long as it continues to give me that feeling, it will never die in my eyes.
