Episode 98 and part 2 of our review of Gran Turismo 5. This is not your average review as it comes after over 69,000 miles of combined driving (including B Spec) and nearly finishing the career mode in order to cover every aspect of the game. In addition to the final review we also give you some tips to help you conquer the game.

On top of that, we bring back Top Simulated Cars of all Time in order to put another car from GT5 on the list. Top Sim Cars is now sponsored by Tamiya.

Thanks for another episode guys and gal! i look forward to each of your episodes.

I would like to comment on your GT5 review. I, as did Shaun, competed in the GT Academy. Even though round 2 was a bit of a mess, I greatly enjoyed the event. Even though I only finished 67th in the nation (21st in the west), I met a lot of the other competitors. I have raced online with about 70% of the finalists, and I am totally hooked on racing with these individuals consistently.

So #1 plus for GT5 was GT Academy. (where else can you go from sim racer to pro race driver)

A very strong negative not covered, was forced SRF(skid recovery force) in the licenses. I managed to gold all of these, but don't feel much carry over, because of the unrealistic physics of SRF. I would think the one place that SRF should always be off, would be the licenses. Huge negative for me.

So when's part 3 of the review?!?!?! It's been MONTHS!!!!

Ah, just kidding.

Seriously though, good video, except I am a bit surprised you didn't mention Remote Racing, which is a very unique and interesting feature.
