Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition (Video Game)

Customer Review

So I guess that here has been collected so many reviews and there are also reviews en masse, that here a more detailed review would take my hand, no new insights.

Therefore, I take only once very briefly a few points together, which I consider important and in other reviews could not find / have read about / just want to stress again:

- The content is huge, but still can not make it, so long to tie me to the screen, as it was still the first part. For whatever reason. The majority of the events offered seems to me somewhat inconsequential.

- The distinction between premium and standard car is probably the biggest crap you come up with. On the track that falls on this not so, whether the opponents S or P drive vehicles. But I'm sitting now times like in the cockpit and the cockpit view with the S vehicles is even something from nothing!

- 3D: No comparison to eg Wipeout. Everything there looks really three-dimensional and "deep", distant sliders are actually further away. Not so with GT: It looks more as if the cockpit or the HUD in front and behind it still ne flat disk. No matter how you turn the knob. In addition, the output will be in 3D in 720p, which would appear very frayed on a Pola TV writings and otherwise does not look very pretty. That goes for other games, also in 720p, much better!

-to Finally, the biggest impertinence by the manufacturer is surely the dual gaming support (non-existent).
Meanwhile almost any 3D TV this function, it is only everywhere else. If someone does not know what that is: Here, the TV takes the up / down or left / right half of the screen and stretches it to the entire screen. With appropriate glasses so each player can his half of the screen in full-screen view, without seeing the other screen. Grandiose! The downside is just that the image will be severely distorted, for me a no go. So what do smart developer? Exactly, they consider the building and into the game a dual gaming function, when the compressed image for each player on his screen part is illustrated. The fact that the TV then stretched the image back on the entire screen surface, the image is then properly. Goes in Uncharted 3 eg wonderful.

Even with GT5 this feature is available from the menu. But what do the programmer? Exactly, they can check if a SONY TV is connected, so you can use the function the PS3. Is a TV of another manufacturer, the prop. The exact same thing can, connected, the function in the menu is grayed out and simply titled as "not supported". A larger nannying customer what I saw yet nowhere.

The rest is wiegesagt OK, so a total of 3 star.
