Graphics are mind blowing, thats probably the best part of the game, good range of cars and the tracks are pretty fun. The online is really good, except people take it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY, i had come 4th in a race just beat this guy who was in a ferrari 599 ( i was in a GTR ), i got a message after with a bunch of insults, just because i beat him. Anyway the physics are shocking but its prolouge and not the full game. cant wait to the full game gonna have the top gear track on it apperently!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Awesome!

Only a 4 star rating as it is only a warm up to the main event. Having said that it has a lengthy "career" mode, challenging circuits and a large number of cars. Plus excellent on-line gameplay. All in all an excellent taster and lets hope the full version improves on this excellent offering.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars The reason i bought a PS3

as i said this along with MGS4 and The Getaway 3 (Goddammit they've cancelled it!!!)

Anyway i really dont understand some peoples gripes about the graphics, its a racing game, when i play a racing game its about racing, and how the cars handle and look...
but thats really not a problem with this game, absoloute film quality graphics the shine off the car at Monaco looks amazing.
Good solid hard to master circuits (and the possibility of downloadable circuits).
Great looking and handling cars, the cars feel so heavy in chicanes, no 2 cars handle the same...oh and Ferrari thats one reason to buy the game right there...
Gran Prix cars included are great, in Gran Turismo 4 i was getting sick of having to leave my ps2 on for 24hrs just to get one gran prix car, that has worn out due to races and the lack of being able to change the oil.

Buy now or forever feel the shame from your friends and family for all of eternity, if you dont its £275 wasted
