When you view a car in Gran Turismo, it simply spins idly in front of you, like a dessert in a display case. It may sound simple, but the ability to go into your garage in Forza and check out a car from virtually every conceivable angle is a big deal, especially since many of us won't ever be able to own these vehicles in real life. You can amass a large collection of amazing vehicles in GT6, but you can't enjoy them in the same way as you do in Forza 5. It's amazing being able to get behind the wheel of a ridiculous sci-fi racer like the Red Bull X2010 without having to save up the $20 million it takes to buy one (or plunking down some real-world cash instead through microtransactions). The Goodwood Festival of Speed feature also makes a welcome reappearance, letting you test-drive super-fast machines before you have the cash to buy them in-game. GT6 takes its racing seriously, but it also isn't afraid to have fun - there's a whole series of go-kart races and a trio of missions that have you driving a lunar rover on the surface of the moon. There are also side diversions that have you knocking over pylons and snaking around obstacles, as well as the standard license tests and other diversions. Some races only feature Japanese cars from the 1990s, for example, while others put you behind the wheel of silent, zippy electric vehicles. ![]() The races are set up so that you're free to skip some without hampering your progress (a particularly useful trait for useless city drivers like myself), but they also force you to try out all kinds of different cars. The structures are similar - you start out driving low-powered Hondas before making your way up to full-fledged racers - but Gran Turismo gives you a lot more freedom and variety. These issues are particularly frustrating because, in a lot of ways, GT6 is a better racer than Forza 5. One mission has you driving a lunar rover At times it feels like you're driving a real car through a fake world. Details like trees and rocks simply don't look real, with muddied textures that are in stark contrast to the clean, shiny racing machines that speed past them. Compared to Forza, GT6's courses feel flat and lifeless. But the rest of the experience doesn't have nearly that same level of detail. The latest Gran Turismo features strikingly detailed cars that, aside from a bit of aliasing, look incredibly realistic. Playing GT6 after playing Forza 5 is perhaps the best example. It might not always be readily apparent, but next-gen games do look better than their current-gen counterparts in almost every case. So how much of a difference does next-gen make for racing games? And while the two games are similar in a lot of ways, with gorgeous graphics and lots of fast cars, there's one key difference - Forza is the showcase game for Microsoft's new Xbox One, while Gran Turismo is available today for the seven-year-old PlayStation 3, and not the new PlayStation 4. This holiday season sees the release of the two biggest console racing sims around: Forza Motorsport 5 is the latest entry in a franchise that debuted on the original Xbox, while Sony’s Gran Turismo 6 follows in the lineage of some of the greatest racing sims ever released. ![]()
