Like I said before on another topic....:
We all know Gamespot's review of GT5 will completely bash the game because of the minor flaws it has, and hell will they punch the game in the face with arguements such as: "Not all cars have inside camera gameplay", "not all cars have damage", "not all tracks have weather/time change effects" and "20% of the cars are premium and the rest is a copy-cat of GT4".I mean c'mon..Do you really expect a Blu-Ray disc to hold that much content? Plus, to make ONE photograph real looking car took them 3 months... Think about it when doing the review Gamespot.
I'd like to see anyone do better than PD when it comes down to creating console simulators. And yes, GT 5 IS better than Forza 3, but aren't we all sure that Gamespot will choose a reviewer that hates the game, or a 360 fanboy, to review the game?
My bet on GT5's final score is 7.0-8.5
MAX they will give is a 9 which I doubt, but don't we all know GT was and always will be a 10.0 no matter what anybody says?
Seriously, if you want real opinions read European Reviews/European Player Reviews, not 'cause the PS3 has more love than the 360 there, but because they're not bribed by effing Microsoft, therefore, they actually play the game before trash talking (looking at you IGN.).
I mean, how long have they played GT5? 3 hours and then review? IGN is pure trash today.. and Gamespot is headed the same way..
Thing about GT(the series) is that it's a very closed up game, if you're not a fan, you'll hate it, if you're a fan you'll like it and some will love it with sense (other than loving the game just because yes, a.k.a, no sense). And GT 5 is their most closed up games, they designed it for fans and fans only.
.. It has been said that GT 5 IS better than Forza 3(by almost...hum..everybody.), yet I don't doubt Gamespot will milk every single MINOR flaw the game has and make it look HUGE so they can lower the game's final score. If the game is better than Forza 3, it should get 9.5 +, but we all know that's not happening... But it's happening from me.
But I still have a little bit of hope that Gamespot will bring up a honest review of the game, why? They haven't released their final word on the game yet, unlike IGN.. They're actually analzying the game, playing the game to the core, checking online content, GT Mode, Arcade Mode, B-Spec and everything else, so I still have a little bit of hope that Gamespot will review the game very well, but who knows... it's Gamespot we're talking about.

Calvert's doing the review.
I've raced with him a fair bit online and know he loves racing games. Granted, much of that time has been with the Forza series, but really that's all that's been available on consoles in the last five years. He did enjoy GT5P for what it was, too.
I wish I had my copy already, but I still doubt it'll be better than Forza 3. I'd imagine it'll be quite similar in quality once everything's compared, but both games do completely different things well. Forza 3 has more consistent graphics, for example, and more in-depth upgrade/tuning/painting options for customizing cars. GT5 has the potential for better graphics (depending on the car/track combo), more cars, and a slightly better handling model, judging by the various posts I've read.
And man, picking out the facts can be tricky, because both GT fans and GT detractors love to talk.
