    I did a load more races having max tuned the Zonda and built up some decent cash but I'm done now. Sorting out my DC stuff showed just how much I have to play through and this is taking all my time. I've enjoyed it and I've still got GT4 to go. On reflection I'd probably change my 7/10 to an 8/10 as there's still loads to improve though what's here is good. For GT6 I'll make sure to stick with it from the off.

      Previously I played GT5 for a very long time and after getting annoyed with the games more annoying issues, I let it go and made do with Forza 4. It's taken its time but slowly I kept thinking about what Polyphony got right along with its excellent car and track selection.

      Last week, I brought it back along with a PS3 Super Slim... It's so damn good.

      The handling is just perfect, the courses play beautifuly, rain and night time driving change the tracks beyond compare, the graphics are astonishing and there's so much to do I think I could play this for the rest of my life. Or intill GT6 comes out!

      Looking forward to getting back into the game and might dip my toe online this time.

      Also, a few Photos I've been taking.

        Amazing pictures. The tracks really are miles better than those in Forza 4.

          Been recently thinking about throwing this back on myself. Tonight may be the night.

            Blimey, are those genuine ingame photo's? They look so real. I might have to fire this up later and try messing with photo mode for myself.

              That F1 shot is brilliant. Will never ever get to race with it though, isn't something like 10 millions credits to buy or something. Would involve playing the game every game day for about 5 years to afford.

              Wools, online is an experience like no other. When I say that, it really is. Its so badly implemented. By a team that simply has no idea how to do online. You may be better off offline!

                Didn't they patch it with easier/more generous ways to earn money. I remember it being dauntingly way out of reach for casual players though.

                I've just put this on. Still booting up after 1 hour. Patch 6 of 19. Each averaging around 400mb.

                        Thanks! In game shots taken in Photo Mode.

                        It's about 10 million but a kind bloke on here helped a few GT5 regulars & gifted us cool cars. He did leave the forum because of the negativity over the game but he might have come home.

                        I've never tried GT5 online as racing online normally results in a first corner shunt & a lot of swearing! Time Trial for me but I would love to give it a go with like minded people who want to have fun & not come first.

                        Seasonal events are the key to getting a decent amount of money, still a lot of grinding though. Thank god I kept my save!

                        If the patches sound daunting, Shopto are selling the Academy Edition (Includes all patches bar the most recent) for about ?14.

                          Thats the one thing i did hate in the first place, the grinding, but to drive some nicer cars i used to stick to arcade/time trials.

                          Is it possible to download a complete save game and use that rather than have to grind for credits?

                            I think the saves are tied to your PSN account name but could be wrong.

                            Best thing to do is just play to have fun, focus on the seasonals to make cash & see if anyone online would be willing to gift you some cars when the going gets tough.

                              Last time I checked, online leaderboards had still not been implemented, so unless that has changed you won't get far with TT's!

                                Having leaderboards would breathe so much more life into this game.
