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.

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?

Oh, definitely! Could never live up to the hype. I mean after so many YEARS of hype what game could!

The game designer even admitted he went overboard and said some things (I think too much graphics detail? can't remember) should have been saved for GT6. Something about the hardware was being pushed to the limit already.

Yes, there are imperfections but I don't need perfection. If you're a GT fan you just want the damn game to play. That's what I didn't like - the 6 year delay.

GT6 will be out sooner than that but I don't think we can expect too much of a leap from GT5 if the designer is already saying its close to being maxed now.

Just enjoy the game and have fun!
