So a bit lttp for this game. I've played a bit of it so far without updates a absolutely love it already, despite being forced to buy a Honda Jazz at the start. But man oh man, I'm currently updating the game and have been over the course of the past week in chunks. Today finally install the last update and already I'm excited to start racing then bam, preparation for installing the updates in game. Finally that finishes, then bam! Installing updates in game. Took about ten minute to get a measly chunk on the install bar and am still waiting. It's almost comical how much waiting there is to play it.
On the whole, wow is the game a looker, without getting to close to the screen it's as good if not better in some cases better than Driveclub. Really shows how much the the PS3 had to offer still to this day for games and I still feel it had more to show before next gen arrived but the install and loading speeds on PS3 do show it's age.
Driving is sub-lime as ever and the new game's more ambitious presentation is wholly welcomed. the hud, menus and other onscreen features that aren't race track and car are brilliantly striking and a nice change from the complete minimalist presentation GT4 to 5 went with.
Still haven't sunk enough time to make a real judgement on it. Not too fond of the career's new set up. meshing the licenses with the racing campaign is an odd choice and only serves to further skimp on the single player content, that GT5 already did a lot of after GT4's pretty much RPG racing campaign.
But that's really my only complaint so far. And in any case, it's GT and I can tell 6 is still true to series and there really is no other series like it. Now I'm gonna go check on the installation progess.
