General Comments
After downloading the HD Concept I couldn't wait to get this. I wasn't disappointed straight away but soon noticed a few flaws that won't put me off getting GT5 but did have me writing a long email to Sony criticising the game and PS3 in general.
It doesn't take long to finish the game if you're good at it but I was going nuts, shouting at the TV and cursing Sony. The penalty system is ridiculous. An AI car can ram you off line and you get penalised for it. Crazy. It's the same online so I didn't do too much of that. Maybe one day PS3 might be half as good as Xbox Live but I doubt that very much. It would be nice to be able to talk to other players but that's just the way PS3 is. As a result I only get PS3 specific games. My Metal Gear 4 is getting lonely sat on it's own since I traded this in for something on Xbox
