When Gran Turismo first came out on the sony playstation in the late 90s, the world of racing was changed forever. It would spawn three sequels that ranged into the playstation 2 era. But now, in the playstation 3 era, we were lucky enough to receive a new GT game, in HD, or 3-D. However you wanted it, you could have it. GT 5 is the newest installment in the series, and boy oh boy, have we come far. Not only does it have the most cars, over 1000, but wonderful and familiar courses with twists, and new ones as well. The GT mode, no longer called simulation mode, is a tad bit complicated, and hard to follow at first, but over time, you grow used to it. Arcade most hasn't changed much, except for the new addition, "Drift Mode" where you are placed in a certain stretch of land in a certain course, and you have to drift around corners and rack up points. Not the easiest thing to do.
Overall, GT 5 is a wonderful game that, despite taking quite a while to be released, feels like the wait was worth it. I give it 9 out of 10, primarily due to the fact that it can be a bit complicated, and it ALWAYS asks you if you want to sign in to playstation network. But other than that, it's a great addition that should satisfy your need for a good racing game, and if it does not...you still have the other 4 GTs!
