grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Here's some fun customs questions Do they work 7 days a week? And I presume that a "premium" postage has no effect on their bit of the journey? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 HMV Hong Kong doesn't seem to even have the standard GT5 listed now. Whats the deal? Are they going to ship it today you think? Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Haven't got any email yet but according to my account online on the hk hmv site, my order has shipped. So lets see how long that takes. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Joystiq Here's the deal: If you're one of those car nuts I mentioned earlier, here's your game. Have fun, we'll see you in a year when you finally leave the house. If you're not in that group -- you like, even love racing games, but care less about tuning and more about the thrill of the race -- GT5 is like walking in on a group of physicists discussing string theory and asking who wants to go toss around a ball for a bit. You're looking to have fun; they're only interested in studying the math behind how it bounces. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 IGN Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game – it’s driving is as exhilarating as anything that’s gone before, and its slavish obsession with the minutiae of many of its cars ensure it's an encyclopaedia of automotive delights. Its brilliance on the track, however is matched by its sloppiness off of it, and there’s a lack of polish that would at one time have seemed sacrilegious to the series. Ultimately its driving wins out to ensure that it’s still a great game, but it leaves that nagging doubt; this could have been a masterpiece were it not for the fact that Polyphony was so absorbed with the detail that it took its eye off the ball.
