After playing it here for a couple hours today doing some other odds and ends stuff in the game, I’m honestly kind of disappointed.
I’m a hardcore GT fan and still own the original 1-4 even though I don’t have the systems to play them on anymore. After having to wait so damn long for the game you’d expect something really mind blowing and there just really isn’t anything in the game that does just that. Yay for online, yay for custom cool soundtrack importing, yay for some new and interesting tracks. I could give two shits about 3D to be honest. Just another gimmick IMO.
But in reality its just GT4 with a new cars and some minor tweaks. Something that might have been fine releasing two years ago. Leaving in stupid shit like car washes and oil changes, but not have an option for brake upgrades in the tuning dept? Exhaust notes are STILL a fucking joke. I dunno. I’ll play it no doubt but I’m already finding myself getting bored and will likely be back to playing Dirt2 and COD sooner than not.
The one thing I do find interesting is the track creator, and that is likely what will keep me interested in the game as well as trying to dig up some of these mystery cars that will appear in the used car lot like they had in GT4.
