The time has come! I got my copy of the game today (thanks GAME).
I've played it briefly and have to say, the game is VERY polished.
Firstly, a few screens have to be watched/skipped before you get to the actual main menu. Also, you have the chance to install the game, which is around 8Gb.
Once at the menu, you have the options for GT Mode, Arcade Mode, Course Maker and GT TV.
I had a quick race on the High Speed Ring in a Nissan GTR:
Graphics - Absolutely stunning. Cannot fault the work put into the track, car, crowd and general scenery.
Sounds - The cars all sound unique. Going on the past history of Gran Turismo, they have recorded the sounds of the each car and used it in game to make it as realistic as possible. In side the car (drivers view), the interior is what you expect it to be. Realistic. Probably the closest thing I'll get to actually sitting inside a GTR.
Gameplay - A tad disappointing for me, but then again I'm fairly shit at racing games. It plays very similar to GT5: Prologue, but more realistic. I find the handling stiff, but I know the settings can be changed for the cars.
Overall, this is game is definitely one of the best I've played in a long time. Is it worth the 7 year wait? I would like to say yes, but I kind of fail to see the need for such a long wait.
Buy the game! You will not be disappointed.
