The fifth of the Gran Trismo series, this racing video game now supports 16 players online, includes 71 unique race tracks in 26 different locations, and brings back night  racing.  The game is now more visually appealing; progressive car damage to Standard and Premium vehicles, weather effects, skid marks, are headlights.

Gran Turismo 5 gets a score of 85 out of 100 and is generally well-received by critics and gamers.  With the highly-improved driving physics and the inclusion of Karting, the game is an obvious big step up from its predecessors.
