Jason	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Mark, I own and have owned every single car racing sim on this planet in the last 10 years. I have a 360, PS3 (only for Blue ray) and a ultra high end PC. I was very dissapointed in the new gran turismo, (Cars handle well, Graphics HD resolution not bad, game play was and is still the same as it was when it was released in 2001 ) however PGR4 on 360 was the best car racing sim until now. I have downloaded GRID on PC and it is simply amazing- 60fps with everything on high 1900x1200. The replays are unbelievable and driving the cars with a forcefeedback steering wheel is incredible. Nice work Codemasters. Reply

sidney1980	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post couldnt agree with u more jason. i have owned pretty much every racing game 2 since my 1st NES many years ago!! gt5 prologue is stuck in a time warp as apart from looks, is still the same game! i love pgr4, forza2, sega rally 2 name the best at the moment. grid beats em all in almost every respect. replays r out of this world! 2 b honest, i never expected anything less from codies.. ive loved all their racers since toca touring cars back in 1997. also, grid only feels like an arcade racer with assists on. turn em off 4 a proper sim experience! love it!

(just dont be stupid and match the graphics of those two games.. GT5 is by far the best looking car game created to date. Reply

sunni	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Great game , ran on 2 8800 gtx sli, on q9450, 780 board, controls are tricky at first, but a better experience was driving my ford escort after a bottle of whisky at full throttle, great visuals, but control are real tricky and hard to get hold of. The crash was is so realistic. Reply

u r muppets	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post It makes me cry to see some of the comments on here. Makes me even more believe that you should have to take a cometence test before you can be sold a PC. Shame on you console fanboys, I have all the consoles, even the handhelds, and my $3k pc rules them all by a factor of ten. Reply

Genius	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post It is sad to see that this is what gaming has come to. Blabbering over consoles like they are presidential candidates, speaking like a fool that hasn't been through grade school. Why can't consoles just die already? I have a PS3 and it just sits there because I have a PC that does way more. Gaming will always be best on the PC, and anyone who says otherwise is a retard. Also, GT5 : P has nothing to do with this game, it's like comparing DiRT to motorstorm, or Halo to Resistance, why can't it stop already, the games have nothing to do with each other. Reply
