I'm an avid GT5 player and couldn't wait for GT6 (bought it first day). I played it the first day and have never put it back into my PS3. The graphics are great. The new cars are great. The new tracks are great. The inter-face needs some getting use too. So why is it so bad? The completely ruined the online experience. RUINED IT!!! The new lobby is HORRIBLE!!! The layout is terrible. They took away the best part of the GT5 lobby: shuffle races. Shuffle races are were everyone gets a random car and you race against each other. "Dirty" shuffle races are were you bet and bang and fight with each other while racing. Great fun with tons of people from all around the world that race these daily... and they took it out of GT6?!?!?!? Why why why??? Ruined the game. Buy GT5 instead. You'll be glad you did.

Basically Gran Turismo 5.1 without the B Class drivers. Graphics are somewhat better. Physics are the same. Some new tracks. Still doesn't have all of the dashes for in car driving. Only some of the cars are high def as in GT5. If you are a GT fan, it will do until the PS4 version is released.

I have been playing the gt franchise since day 1 and I have loved each of the last games. Each one has been better than the last, until now. It's a decent game, but it feels like a re-release of gt5. All the claims of new physics doesn't seem to affect anything in the game, and the ai is still pretty poor. It has been very easy to beat anything I've come up against. I played forza 5 and I enjoyed it more than this game, and that's from a huge fan of this series. Hopefully there's something better in the works for next time

I have played Gran Turismo since the FIrst gen PS, and ever since I have absolutely loved the game. It is the hands down still the best racing game. The other game makers can only try but not come close to the class GT has. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a More Real Feel of racing a car on a proper legit track rather than racing in a unrealistic environment with unrealistic handling like you get in many other racing games.

It's a typical re-boot of every older GT title. The home page is by far the best they've done and easiest to navigate of the bunch. For a last gen title, the graphics are good enough to get by on, but the same old "freight train physics" of the computer controlled cars also returns. It's more about "what's the fastest way to make credits to buy/win more/better cars?" and less about the "real driving experience". With enough credits and a little bit of gaming talent (and the occasional cross track shortcut), any bottom rung car can beat a top tier LeMans racer.
