Gamespot 8/10:Is GT5 better than..
Forza Motorsport 3? No. Forza may look more sterile, but it gives the user so much input, both in deciding what they want to do and what they want their car to be like, GT suddenly looks restrictive. Both feature roll-overs and crazily-realistic physics simulation in their latest builds, but Forza's class system for upgrades ensures you're never over/underpowered in races. Oh, and every car has a cockpit view. Sterile though it is, Forza has far less faffing around when you don't want to faff and just as much when you do. You can even paint the Mona Lisa on your car, which is something GT5 simply doesn't allow.
F1 2010? No. Regardless of how much you like the sport itself, F1 2010 is super-fast, super-exciting and utterly spectacular compared to GT5's sedate and cumbersome experience. F1 may not be creaking under the weight of a million extra game modes, but it gives you a phenomenal, reality-based racing sim with GRID's videogame sensibilities intact. I reviewed F1 2010 and gave it 9/10, so if you're wondering what wondrous kind of racing game is so much better than GT5, check that out. You'll see where I'm coming from.
Need For Speed: Shift? No. I would never have imagined I'd be saying that, but NFS is just a better game. The driving itself is nowhere near as good, mind, as the car's all over the place, to give a heightened sensation of speed. But you always know what you should be doing next, always have something to do thanks to 'mastering the corner' challenges, and the spills are more visceral. We gave that game a 9 at review (it'd likely get an 8 if reviewed today) and at current second-hand prices it's not a purchase you'll rue if it doesn't float your boat.
Regardless, if you've ever fantasized about a Ferrari or dreamed of driving at Daytona, Gran Turismo 5 is a game that you're sure to get a lot out of. This is simultaneously the most accessible GT game yet and the most uncompromisingly realistic driving game on a console to date. It's unfortunate that much of what makes Gran Turismo 5 so great is under the hood rather than on display for everyone to see, but a powerful engine trumps a perfect paintjob every time.
