Games Thirst – Amazing Life
Gran Turismo 6 reviews are now in, and it seems as if Polyphony Digital and Sony has another hit on their hands.
Eurogamer’s conclusion:
Gran Turismo 6 is broken and brilliant all at once, then, which seems destined to always be this series’ way. It lends it a certain charm, though: if Forza, with its impeccable sheen and its flair for dramatics, sets out to mimic the world of Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson, then Gran Turismo feels more like Denis Jenkinson, MotorSport’s beloved correspondent who slept with a Rolls Royce engine at the foot of his bed in a rotting Hampshire cottage. It’s all wide-eyed enthusiasm, erratically delivered through a scruffy egg-flecked beard. I know which one I’d rather spend a Sunday afternoon with.
And so, 15 years since its inception, Gran Turismo carries on its pursuit much as it always has, delivering a driving simulator that’s as exhausting as it is exhaustive, as infuriating as it is intoxicating. As a foundation, it’s certainly more stable than its predecessor – and as a way to explore the thrill of four wheels it is, despite its many faults, exceptional, brilliant and pretty much peerless. It’s not finished yet, but Polyphony likely never will be – and in Gran Turismo 6 it’s just delivered the broadest, most complete iteration of its epic vision.
The game’s out today all over the world exclusively for PlayStation 3
