So what's the verdict on GT5? I absolutely loved GT1 through to GT4 but I haven't forked out for GT5 as yet given I also need to buy a PS3. Worth the money? GT5 only been available here in Oz for a short while.

It is very reminiscent of GT4 a-spec, just newer cars, some new tracks, more special races/vehicles, online racing/play etc. It's like an old friend with new toys really.

Thanks Weasel. Are the races still limited to six cars - yours and the five AI cars?

What Weasel said about GT5 compared to the others is pretty much spot on, but it does seem like they could have done even more with the time they spent developing this version. I wasn't completely blown away by it compared to other versions.

Some of the things that bug me are that there are way too many Japanese models compared to others, the sound of the other cars engines sometimes overwhelms your engine so it can be hard to shift based on engine noise, no brake upgrades, transmission adjustments are simplified to only changing top speed of the vehicle (no individual gear options), some graphic glitches, playing online can be confusing, etc.

I know there are 12 cars in most races in GT mode. I don't play online or in arcade mode very much, so I am not exactly sure about them.

Thanks for that. GT mode is what I'm interested in. With the just five AI cars in the races in GT1-GT4, it got a bit boring at times. Especially in the endurance races.

Huge update released today. 301MB

Okay .. this is one of the reasons I haven't been on the forums for awhile now.

Also, been trading cars. Just about have all of them now.

So you like the game?
