Just seen a long advert for this game on TV and my son pointed out a yellow 300zx in the advert. Rewound the Sky+ and yes tis true. Guess it means its in the game as well.

Cheers!

bit behind the times me then. My zeds had a foot of snow over it!

there are some good images on one of the threads to from the game!!

yeah seen that add tonight as well was during 5th gear.

that's amazing!! straight away made me want to boot up the game and burn a bit of petrol!

sounds epic dosnt it. i went to my mates today and he has got it. but i didnt want to spoil my xmas pressie so he turned it off before i got there and booted up fifa lol!!!

 

what do you think of it Dave. dont think you have said much about it??

First off, let me get these negatives off my chest:

• The menu interface is so darned slow and cumbersome to get around - to the extent that you have to wait for a different menu to load as you try to navigate from e.g. an event to the parts shop. being a bit of an ex-games programmer, there's no reason why a few megabytes of pictures, a few kilobytes of code, and a few meg of music couldn't all be loaded in at once!
  
• The driver A.I., although claimed to be finally fixed, is still rubbish. Except at least it makes mistakes, and politely rams into the back of you sending you off the track! Every other driving game out there has got it almost right, why can't the 'ultimate' driving game?
  
• Engine sound effects still all sound generic and barely improved from GT3. I do however love the sound of the engine firing up when you choose a car from your garage.
  
• The feeling of speed still isn't there - when you're hacking along at 150mph in most other driving games, you get the blur and the shaking camera and the feeling of danger. in GT5, the only thing that lets you differentiate between speed is the speedo on the screen, you could be doing 40, you could be doing 140, who'd know! however to be fair, when youre full throttle in NASCAR, or in cockpit view in an open-top, or on the Nurburgring, the feel of speed does come through properly!
  
• The much-hyped weather transitions and day/night transitions are only for certain tracks/events
  
• The much-hyped damage is still a bit rubbish - mechanical damage only appears to be online only [i wait to be corrected on this, as the damage was only patched in last week] - and visual damage has to be 'unlocked', and in some cases makes the car look like melted plastic :(
  

And there are plenty of steps back from GT4, most of which totally mystify me!:

• You can't fast-forward replays like you could in GT4
  
• You can't fast-forward B-spec mode like you could in GT4
  
• There aren't any manufacturer-only events like there were in GT4 (and GT2) - these are events you pick up from the dealerships, not events like the Ferrari-only event, or the Yaris/Vitz event
  
• You can only change alloys on the premium cars, even though you could change alloys on any of the cars in GT4 (which are therefore the standard cars in GT5)
  
• You can't upgrade your brakes in the parts store like you could in GT4 (e.g. ceramic brakes)
  

 

...but even after all the above is taken into account, this is still my favourite driving game and IMO definitely in the top 3 driving games across all console formats - the good bits of the game far outweigh the criticism above and if youve not played it yet but like your driving games, I dont think you'll be disappointed!
