Okay yesterday I got my hands on the Blu-Ray version of the game and let me just say i was happy up to the point that the game loaded. Why is that you ask? Well because I had to spend One-hour installing the game on my HDD before I could play the game. It gets even better after that I had to update the game which took another half-hour and, it failed halfway which means I had to WAIT 2 HOURS to even see the introduction video that no one can under what the singer is singing (Hey there something something) But after that little annoying Install and Update and yet another crappy Introduction Background Music that Polyphony digital picked for the North America version the game was great, the Dashboard view is superbly detailed:
There are over 60 cars has you’ve already heard over 600,000,000 times from millions of differnt sources, and they all include dashboard, and 5-6 of them are there just b/c Kazunori Yamauchi owns them in real life (Nissan 350Z, Mercedes-Benz SL55 Amg, Two Ford GT’ 06, etc..) Overall the GT-TV North America version sucks, because it currently only has the Beyond the Apex video and Demonstration video (Which has the wezzer music instead of SURV1V3 or Moon Over Castle) But getting back to the gameplay, the game offers many Import cars such as RX-7, Nissan GT-R, Evo IX MR.
The game also offers many exotic cars such as Ferrari F40, Audi R8, and BMW tii
The Gameplay it self is great the cars handle much like the cars you drive in real life, but online is a differnt story, the multiplayer section is the cheapest form of online play I’ve seen in years (Need For Speed Underground 1 & 2) the reason i say cheap is because all the players of PSN are cheaters ALL OF THEM, all they do is go fast and slow down and hit you out of the corner your trying to take like a pro, and doing that at a slow rate of speed will not render the car into its ghost form, yes GT5P has taken PGR’s ghost form from its online feature but it only works when you, yourself are going extremely fast (100+ mph) and hitting another driver or wall, but during corners don’t think that your driving skills will pay off, because most of the PSN users, are cheaters. I’ve played against 45 players on GT5P and there has been not a single match that half of the psn players didn’t try to hit me while I’m driving, weather I’m first for third.
Overall: Save your time and buy it off PSN, the beyond the apex video is crap, the game play is superb, the graphics are great if you play it on a huge 1080p tv, the online players are all hitters and thats how they win and the game is very laggy online even if you have good connection.
One good thing you can expect is that the game has the Ferrari F2007 for sale for $2,000,000 cr., but can only be bought after all A-S races have been finished with a bronze or better medal.
