More than a glorified demo, but not much more.

This a must have for any fan of the Gran Turismo series. The gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same but have been brought up to date with full 1080p visuals. I cannot begin to say how great this game looks in HD as it is simply stunning. It is a showpiece as part of the future of the PS3 and everything from the detail of the tracks( London has near enough every shop mapped correctly) to the cars themselves. One thing that is new to the series is the in-car view. This view brings a new dimension to the game and is very fun to play. The game itself is pretty light on features with only a few tracks and game modes.
Online the game is good fun but can be ruined by the people that you play with/against. The game also contains documentaries and episodes of Top Gear that can be downloaded (at a price) for all those true petrolheads.
This a good game but is very shallow on features and tracks which I'm sure will be addressed in the full version of the game.
****ONE WORD****
