Gran Turismo used to be the one, but with a some-what lacking GT5; Prologue, and an EXTRA EXCELLENT Burnout Paradise, the table have turned... i'm still excited for the proper release of GT5, but Burnout Paradise is... WOW. plus, it's oly getting better, what with the new cars and party pack (with new trophies!) and Surf Island (i think that's what it's called?). so yeah, go Burnout!
For my personal style, Gran Turismo still remains the most realistic racing video game. It has been doing so since original GT which featured 11 courses and 178 cars, and both arcade and simulation modes.
It's also #1 selling Sony PlayStation video game franchise which spans over 55 million copies up-to-date including GT5 Prologue.
I always enjoyed Burnout series, but they offer much different experience.
Gran Turismo is in its own league and I simply can't wait to see how incredible full release of GT5 will be when it finally arrives. ;)
Both.Because it depends on what I am feeling like.Sometimes I want to play a game like GT and other times I just want to go all out and wreck stuff in Burnout.Both are great series.
i acknowledge that gran turismo is the pinnicle of any driving game/sim.... i can get enough of driving in real life. burnout, especially takedown, is euphoria. i choose you burnout! yay 1k posts =]

Up until recently I would have said Gran Tourismo. I absolutely loved the games on PS and PS2. However, I am stil waiting on a full new game for the PS3. The burnout series started out pretty average, but Takedown (360) and Paradise (PS3) are absolutely awesome.
Also Burnout...It's more entertaining and much a more adrenaline infusing experience. If I want to play a ALMOST LIKE REALITY Car Sim...I don't, I just get in to a real car and drive.
The series are different enough that I can enjoy both of them. Right now I'd give Burnout the edge, but once GT5 proper comes out I'll definitely change my mind. The perfectionist/tuning freak in me will go crazy once I get my hands on GT.

Most of us aren't lucky enough to own a F1 car or even anything capable of speeds over 200KpH (120MpH) so GT gives people a chance to drive dream cars on dream tracks. I would love to get into racing in real life but I don't have the money but I will be getting into go-Kart racing with my brother soon.

So...you get in your Ferrari F2007 and take a spin?
I never got into burnout. Gran turismo is the shet. All though they are both racing games they are in different genre's of racing. I'd ask Which do you like more Gran Turismo or Forza but then again, Forza is Xbox so...yeah that doesnt exactly work. But if I had to compare Gran Turismo and Burnout I'd say GT. But forza is my favorite by far.
Gran Turismo will always be my favorite racing series but I still have respect for the Burnout series as well. Burnout Paradise is a fantastic game.Flame_Blade88
Too true, Burnout paradise, I plaed the demo, and it's world is just "Fantabulous!" and that's just the demo, GT, has a non lagging engine, and has a unique quality that brings people to trying it out atleast, and it is just down right awesome. I'm heavily addicted to GT4.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
I DON'T NEED to drive a Ferrari or whatever awesome car there is. I much rather get into a crummy Jeep and floor it in the jungle trough valleys and doing insanely huge jumps.
In conclusion
Flooring a Racing Jeep trough a jungle and doing long jumps > flooring a Ferrari in a closed track.
Gran Turismo hands down, though if someone threw up one of those GT5P or Burnout Paradise threads, I'd probably still be inclined to say Burnout because of the value issue. I bought GT5P and enjoyed it, but if I wasn't able to sell it at the price I paid for it (making it a free demo for me), I probably wouldn't have such fond memories of it.
