Some patience is required with this game to start, but a great experience all around.

This game took a long time to make and there is evidence of that as soon as you put the game in your PS3. 8 GB download is recommended to help with the long load times and screen switches. This requires a 20 min wait before you can get behind the wheel; although it's time consuming the wait is necessary as load times can last for several minutes. Once the 20 min finishes and the opening movie starts you instantly get a feel for the extreme dedication love and detail Polyphony put into this game. Tons of cars tons of tracks and multiple ways to play, this installment of GT5 is the best I have experienced in a while.
The Good: A ton of Cars, Amazing Graphics, Tons of Tracks, Multiple ways to play the game, Robust car tuning, challenging License tests and expanded online (still want to play more online)
The Bad: Long load times.(as we play the load times seem to be speeding up) Only Premium cars have interior views. Damage modeling isn't as robust as you think.
I still have a lot more to discover but for what it's worth this is exactly what you would expect from Gran Turismo. Buy it to give yourself a break from Call of Duty every so often.
