Unreal. I defended the delays for this game by telling friends that it will have an insane amount of polish ... these reviews lead me to believe it doesn't have that.

I don't mean to rip the game too hard, I was just expecting the reviews to be off the charts.
Eurogamer gave it a 9/10. I feel they are more hard assed when it comes to dishing out scores. IGN is really hit or miss though I do agree with their negatives about the game. After five years of development one has to wonder what they were actually doing when the folks at Turn 10 can, and this is just comparing Forza 3 to what I've read of GT5, do a better job and have more features in their driving simulator in less than half that time.

I do hope that the GT5 team can make up for their deficiencies by patches and DLC which I'm more than happy to pay.

Though the damage thing doesn't sound great to me, at least, it's not a huge issue. We've played four GT games without damage so I think it's something I can ignore. It doesn't stand well for the game when the competition has it but I can let it slide. As long as I get to drive cars that I'll never be able to afford and I can take sexy pictures of them I'm happy!
