Doesn't quite deliver on the hype does it? makes you wonder what Polyphony have been up to for the past 5 years.

One thing I will say though is that the car physics are a cut above anything else I've played on a console. Not liking the online play or the premium/standard car business. They might as well have not bothered putting the standard cars in at all.

And if you have a good racing wheel, now is the time to use it.

I brought mine this morning from Tesco and had to buy something from PC World for work at lunch and they gave me a voucher to buy GT5 for £18.99 grrrrrr

How much was it from Tesco?

Changed thread title to something more suitable

I felt the same when I first starting playing it but I decided to stick with it and now I'm really, really enjoying it. Just took me a little time to adjust. Gotta remember this is not an arcade style racer to its a driving sim. I still think the development time was a complete joke though.

Yeah I believe that you unlock the damage a bit later on for example. I guess the important thing is that they've got it out and it does what it says on the tin, as you say it's as close to simulation (which Forza is not) as I've seen on any console once you've reduced the driving aids of course

I certainly hope that they'll be working hard on improving the things that need to be improved such as online matchmaking and the selection of premium cars (more please).

Not tried it with the G25 yet but I hope it works despite not being listed in the controller setup menu.

Cheers, will be off to pick up a copy after work

Hope they have some left.

I just hope they don't go mad with DLC as i feel it would be an insult to gamers who waited for this game and for the lack of some features .

Mmmm don't you think this should have been included in the release , i am not trying to bash this game , i am trying to like it more than i do at the moment but its becoming a bit of a let down for me
