Finally got it for Christmas and thought I'd share my thoughts. 1st off the graphics on the whole are excellent, from the moment I dropped I was pretty amazed.
Also there are things that are just cool even the first event nevermind forza with its forced 1st race in the r8 v10 this was somehow a million times better by not trying as hard with a track day in a Clio 197 round brands. Then there's the inclusion of the festival of speed. Then you have thinga like correctly functioning cvt gearboxes and hybrid systems.
Then there's the tracks hitting mount panorama, or spa, or brands gp circuit or any the classic GT tracks is brilliant.
And last but not least..the brakes work like brakes so I don't end up backing into every corner like I used to on gt5 and the breakaways are more predictable or a smidge slower small changes but alot more fun.
Not all good obviously, somebody needs to strap kazunori down and waterboard him until he deletes the sound file marked "Car noises 1998" also while he's being encouraged to make changes the car list could do with 75% less japanese tat and everything being modelled to the same standard. Seriously whats the point of 1200 cars when more than half are repeats with cosmetic differences? if the Vauxhall Adam was in this game they'd market it as having over a million cars..except of course it isn't because its new and not japanese.
Anyhoo if anyone wants an online race add me I'm Cluffmeistergen on PS3 too.
