Hard to say Neil...Im really liking it from the little Ive played so far, ... saying that I still really rate GRID but Matts not so keen.
Really depends on what you like and what your used to....Ive never been a fan of the NFS series but this just looked a little different with some stunning cars.
Was (still might be) tempted for the GT5 purely cuz the cars and graphics are gonna be so good, but plodding around the track in a crappy powered car (no Kia comments plz!!!) for the first few hundred miles building up cash grates on me as I don`t get alot of PS3 time.
One glitch I noticed...applied graphics to the side of my Audi A3, took it out on a lap ...... you have to select the other side of the car and put them all on that side also (it doesnt mirror it!!!!!) ...and Im a bit OCD for alignment and position of things!!!!!
