Good, but not confirmed expectations

Gran Turismo 5 (Video Game)

Customer Review

Now, granted, the expectations were so exorbitantly high, this could not be met. Nevertheless, one should measure a game not only to his expectations, but also try to objectively say something about it. I have long been looking forward to the game, now being tested since Tuesday (a compliment to Amazon) and about 30 hours playing it. It's fun, it's a great game, but it has its weaknesses. And some of them, would have after 5 years of production simply can not be.

Positives:

Performance: This has become great. Very realistic and no Arcade Racer. It's really fun to drive and it does not win the one that best uses the bands to pass through curves, but really who maintains the ideal line and sent drives. I also think it's good that penalties may be awarded (5sec. Gas restrictions on who goes to the gang, shortens etc.).

GT Mode: As usual great and I think quite well clear. B-Spec is admittedly superfluous, but that does not matter. The rest is great and it's fun to work your way up. The special races are mostly good, especially the kart race and offer an extra challenge. Although you get quite a lot of money quickly, but that also makes it easier to get started and you're not forced to go to 100x Sundaycup.

Graphics of cars (without shadows): Although there are differences between standard and premium vehicles, the cars look great (but I'm not Grafikfetischist). Especially Premium cars are designed really fantastic.

Control: If you do not just take the default (one honks almost automatically, when you drive around the curve) and this has succeeded and convinced me.

(Addendum) Scope: As all parts gigantic. Hundreds races and opportunities to prove himself. I have now managed and perhaps a third of them do not even anything to gold. So time you will be here enough.

Balanced:

Route Design: Some routes are great to have a great atmosphere and are lovingly designed. Especially in the Eiger North Face route and the Alaska rally routes I fell in love.
Other work against totally loveless, empty, boring and bland. Hardly people 2D trees, square pile of tires. Maintenance somehow plastic and not real. That would not have had to be.

Sound: Find many negative. I think he's okay. Engine sounds are good soundtrack as well. Lang Lang (World-renowned pianist) has composed a lot for it. If you like piano music will be happy with this. Only impact noise sound hollow and absolutely not an accident.

Negatives:

Track editor: A joke. The could have been save. It is given a route and you can get a little edit the curves. Well, you can ignore it. He does not bother so, but he has absolutely nothing essential to the game.

Damage model (edited): In the beginning, you think mostly, it does not exist. Gradually, the higher you level up, the more pronounced it becomes. Yesterday I very impressive gebrettert against a wall and it has actually exactly dented the car. Let's see what's coming soon, and is supposed to again come out a patch that expands again. Nevertheless, if only because there is a difference between Premium and Standard, I am still disappointed.

Arcade Mode: I have annoyed me most. In splitscreen mode, you can select only premium cars and also on a few. I hope after some time that are more like the tracks also. But all standard vehicles are not available. Furthermore, it arranged unreadable. All cars in a row ...
Therefore it is not possible to go with a friend to others. Splitscreen races are limited to a 1 vs. 1. AND, and that's the worst of everything. The race you can not look in the repetition !!! I loved it at GT4. To admire an exciting race in the great graphics afterwards. It's not working. And that would have been really no effort.

(Supplement) Online mode: Even after the 1.02 patch is not really good. Although he no longer crashes, but still has delays. But at least you can use it now. A ranking there is not still. However, since at least 1:02 limits you can only see when you walk into the lobby, which makes the whole super awkward. Therefore, I prefer to Create a Speil itself, then I do not have a constantly new and logout.

(Addendum) Shadow / tearing: This is actually one of the most annoying things. The tearing and the shadow nerves enormously. When I look at a replay and my yellow Lamborgini Gallado constantly flashes and is torn by black knit makes it really not fun to look at. With dark cars this is better.

On the whole, however good game but has its weaknesses, some of which were superfluous (the uncharitable routes, the non-usability of the standard cars in arcade mode, the absence of the repeat mode in split-screen races). Nevertheless, it is worth buying and you will have a lot of fun. Perhaps it is still the odd patch that improves a few things (I adjust my review on occasionally when a new patch comes out).
