Gran Turismo 5 is the best!

User Rating: 9 | Gran Turismo 5 PS3

Pros:

Learn fastest/racing line in theory and it can be applied in the real world

Test drive your dream car or potential car

Physics are much improved upon GT4

Cons:

Jaggies from upscaled GT4 cars

Poorly built online multiplayer

Slow loading

Slow...very very slow except for the racing

Slow menu, slow access to tuning shop

it's very disappointingly slow

Thoughts:
I really like this game and have used it for its physics and as a real life test drive for all my dream cars. I also gave my own real life car a drive and it's quite similar. Some things this game has taught me.
-old cars have terrible handling(pre 1990s)
-American cars are powerful but terrible handling
-458 Italia is not as it's hyped up to be
-Nissan GTR is a monster
-Ruf(porsche) handles like a dream
-Nascar is fun
-Bugatti veyron is junk
