Gran Turismo 5 has been by far the best racing gaming we've ever encountered and we expect it to stay like that for a few more years. The graphics are unbelievable, gameplay is outstanding and you'll be shocked at how realistic it is. After seeing a few screenshots, it was hard to believe that we were looking at a video game.
#5 - The Past Of Gran Turismo
From the first Gran Turismo game released in 1997 with over 160 cars and Gran Turismo 2 released in 2000 with over 650 cars, we knew it was an amazing game that stood well out of the crowd, it wasn't your ordinary driving simulator. Gran Turismo 4 shocked us all with it's outstanding quality and gameplay. As of June 2008, Gran Turismo 4 has shipped 1.25 million copies in Japan, 2.93 million in North America, 5.85 million in Europe, 70,000 in Southeast Asia, and 80,000 in Korea. The anticipation of GT5 has been unbelievable. Knowing the past of the Gran Turismo series, we all know what to expect from their newest release on the Playstation 3.
#4 - The Introduction of The Damage System
We haven't really seen much of what Polyphony Digital has done with the damage and it really lacks so far but Polyphony Digital has asked gamers 'how far do you want it to go?' which obviously means they aren't done yet. We expect some serious carnage from the new damage system, maybe even cars blowing up? Combine this with the amazing graphics, 500X more cars than your house garage can fit and you got the best racing game ever made.
#3 - The Cars & Tracks
1000+ cars and over 80 tracks, more cars than any other racing game made to date. We doubt any other racing game is going to beat these numbers for a long time. This shows how hard Polyphony Digital has been working on GT5, truly outstanding. Unlike most other racing games, you won't be stop playing GT5 for a long time. It should take at the least 5+ months to go through all the cars.
#2 - The Graphics
Seen the GT5 graphics yet? If you haven't, please take a look, this is stunning and it's off screen gameplay.

#1 - Gameplay: The Combination of Pure Brilliance
Combine the beyond believe graphics, over 1000 cars, 80 tracks, the new damage system and how realistic GT5 is and you have one heck of a game. GT5 gameplay will be top notch, harder to beat than any other racing game ever made. We are saying this from gameplay videos but if you have been lucky enough to try it out for yourself, you'll know what we mean. GT5 has a reason for being one of the most anticipated games of the decade. GT5 is by a country mile the best racing game EVER made.
