Metareview: Gran Turismo 5

~li~ Destructoid (100/100) : "Even over the 1,000 cars, dozens of follow variations, large modes, dazzling visuals and plateau of options, Gran Turismo 5 has something more that speaks to the world's automobile lovers and racing fans. The turn of caring taken by the people at Polyphony Digital shines in every aspect of this title, and this creates for a racing diversion that indeed has no parallel."

Eurogamer (90/100) : "You see, the heart of the diversion has moved. It's no longer in the GT Mode, notwithstanding its softened pace, nor the tuning shade or tools shop. It's of course not in the undeveloped looseness tests that are still there but no longer offer ample purpose, Polyphony at last having since in and implemented a simple, essential levelling network to clear cars and events instead. The game's heart is in the Special Events."

IGN (85/100) : "Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 diversion - pushing is as refreshing as anything that's vanished before, and despicable craving with the trivia of many of its cars make sure it's an catalogue of automotive delights. Its luminosity on the track, however is suited by its sloppiness off of it, and there's a insufficient of gloss that would at a time have seemed blasphemous to the series."

Videogamer (80/100) : "The real pushing in Gran Turismo 5 is brilliant. If pushing cars is all you caring about, Sony and Polyphony Digital have you covered. These days, we wish more. we wish a streamlined vocation mode, an downright set of online features, cutting-edge visuals, and on top of all else, a hint - the something that turns a diversion from great to unequivocally special."

Guardian (no score): "At times it feels reduction similar to personification a diversion and more similar to indulging in a hobby. Clearly it's no longer the solitary fake to the pretension of Best Racing Game; competitors tear at its heels in conditions of graphical pyrotechnics, pushing feel and immersion, and there are of course better multiplayer practice out there. But there's nothing with this ample charm. If you wish simply to bask in a low admire for cars, then there is still no better franchise."
