Gran Turismo 6 is an over-ambitious, huge, sprawling, messy masterpiece.
It has its highs and lows. It has its perfections and its flaws.
Sometimes it’s annoying. Sometimes it’s infuriating. Menus are now presented in a pleasing grid format, which makes everything from hopping into a race to selecting a track a breeze. Want to scan through the circuits? Now you can with eight displayed on the screen, and likewise for the cars. It makes the whole process of actually getting onto the track so much easier, and with reduced loading times – presumably with another hefty install to boot – the whole experience feels like it's been streamlined. With the next generation of consoles looming, Gran Turismo 6 feels like a title out of time for many. Launching after the PlayStation 4 hits stores worldwide, the PlayStation 3 racer will attempt to go head-to-head with Forza 5 on the Xbox One. It’s a bold move from Sony to forgo its futuristic console, as it would have been a must-have title at launch, but it’s a release that actually makes a lot of sense following Gran Turismo 5.  In some cars, the sudden lack of grip on the grass means a dinner trolley slide into the barriers. Conversely, in a 4WD Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, it means a few seconds of rally driving as you try to keep it under control and wrestle the car back onto the circuit. Both simulations are exemplary. GT is coming to PS4, but it no longer needs that machine to save the series. This is everything GT5 should have been. So forget that game ever existed, get this and enjoy. Score: 8 |
