Played a bit last night. I must say, it’s very impressive.
You have the option at the start of the game to install a load of data on to your HDD (it takes about 30 mins and takes up about 8GB) but its well worth it, as you reduce loading times of tracks, cars etc.
There is a bit of initial configuration to be done to set up your profile, but this takes only a few mins....obviously I chose the red & white overalls for my racing driver !!!
The interface looks very slick and has the usual feel about it of a GT game, but the musak is also back...
The game is general is like all other GT games, but being PS3 there is SO much more going on and so many more ways to race (go Karting, Nascar etc), the graphics are (as you would expect) very very good, shadowing and different types of weather look amazing, as do the tracks and scenery.
I’ve only played it a bit, and have completed my b-license and a couple of races.
There are a few little glitches here and there (mainly to do with graphics) but I’m being extra picky and it wont detract from the game play at all.
My initial rating of tihis game would be 9/10. It would probably get a 10 if I had a bloody steering wheel and pedals !!!
