Ultimately, a game, not matter how good, is still just a game. It simply can't replicate the sensations of driving a real car, and is thus no direct replacement for the thrill of real-life racing. However, for the time being it’s about as close as you can get and for a fraction of the cost of doing just one track day. We love it.

Most of those details are perfect, though, and they weave together into a wonderful demonstration of what racing games can achieve. Polyphony Digital's love for cars has always been clear, but it's always felt a little cold and mechanical. The benefits of that technical expertise still exist in Gran Turismo 6, but they're put to much more enthusiastic use. The result is a massive, passionate game and a fitting final lap for the PlayStation 3.

Gran Turismo 6 took a very good game and made it great. I know that everyone wished this was on PS4 right away, but I have no problem with it coming to PS3, as they have been able to take advantage of a very mature system with 81+ million PS3 owners that I hope compete with online. There’s no way that I would still be playing the game if I didn’t truly enjoy it, and it’s all I’ve done when I’ve had any free-time. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a huge upgrade from GT5, and many of the changes have improved the experience greatly.

Gran Turismo 6 rights almost all of the wrongs of its predecessor to deliver one of the most expansive, beautiful and enjoyable racing simulations ever seen. If only the AI and damage modelling were better, this would be the perfect racing game.

Gran Turismo 6 is an over-ambitious, huge, sprawling, messy masterpiece. It has its highs and lows. It has its perfections and its flaws. Sometimes it’s annoying. Sometimes it’s infuriating. But most of the time it’s simply the best driving game you can buy.
Eurogamer - 9/10
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-06-gran-turismo-6-review
And so, 15 years since its inception, Gran Turismo carries on its pursuit much as it always has, delivering a driving simulator that's as exhausting as it is exhaustive, as infuriating as it is intoxicating. As a foundation, it's certainly more stable than its predecessor - and as a way to explore the thrill of four wheels it is, despite its many faults, exceptional, brilliant and pretty much peerless. It's not finished yet, but Polyphony likely never will be - but in Gran Turismo 6 it's just delivered the broadest, most complete iteration of its epic vision.

Truth is, it’s all of it. The ludicrous stock of included vehicles, the surprisingly diverse collection of career mode events, the fact that you can tweak the F-stop of your camera in the game’s photo mode… there’s no end to the minutiae of automotive celebration crammed onto this disc. While some small flaws and occasionally dated features edge it closer to deposition, Gran Turismo is still the king of racing.

Gran Turismo 6 is a beautiful racing simulator that values the art and science of the race over the drama and theatrics that often make racing so appealing. While the game lacks in certain areas, namely in their complete lack of real collision dynamics, the overall racing experience is one of sublime enjoyment. The depth of customization and available vehicles make for a seemingly infinite experience. With Polyphony’s dedication to the game through updates, Gran Turismo 6 should continue to stay fresh long after you’ve bought and played it. Even without the fun and crazy gimmicks of other racing games, Gran Turismo 6 provides the most authentic racing experience.

Google translation:Gran Turismo 6 è un gioco a dir poco enorme, destinato tra l'altro a crescere ed evolversi grazie ai tanti DLC (gratuiti o meno) e alle varie patch che Polyphony Digital ha intenzione di rilasciare, proprio come quella del day one. Il titolo traspira passione da ogni angolo e può essere considerato come la più completa enciclopedia di automobilismo virtuale mai realizzata, un vero e proprio tributo al mondo delle quattro ruote. Le macchine ed i tracciati vi terranno impegnati per ore ed ore, la carriera è estremamente godibile, garantendo al contempo progressione e varietà senza essere "stringente" e l'interfaccia finalmente ripensata con cognizione di causa. Tra l'altro le correzioni apportate al gameplay si fanno sentire, ed elementi come le condizioni meteo variabili, la fisica rimodellata sulle sospensioni e i pneumatici, nonché il modello di guida migliorato rendono di fatto Gran Turismo 6 un gioco piacevole e realistico, ancorché non simulativo, da questo punto di vista. Sia ben chiaro, nemmeno questo capitolo riesce ad accontentare chi voleva una decisa svecchiata a due elementi che si porta dietro da parecchi anni: il sistema di collisioni non è ancora soddisfacente e l'intelligenza artificiale è "pilotata" nel comportamento degli avversari, ben lontana dall'essere realistica. Detto questo, Gran Turismo 6 è proprio il titolo ideale per gli appassionati di automobilismo a trecentosessanta gradi, quelli che mettono sullo stesso piano la guida, il contorno e le macchine stesse.
Gran Turismo 6 is a huge game to say the least, intended among other things to grow and evolve thanks to the many DLC (free or not) and the various patches that Polyphony Digital plans to release, just like that of day one. Title passion oozes from every angle and can be considered as the most complete virtual encyclopedia of motoring ever made, a true tribute to the world of four wheels . The cars and the tracks will keep you busy for hours and hours, the career is extremely enjoyable, while ensuring progression and variety without being "strict" and finally redesigned interface with knowledge of the facts. Among other things, the corrections made ​​to the gameplay are felt, and elements such as the changing weather conditions, the physical remodeled on the suspension and tires, and the model improved driving Gran Turismo 6 in fact make a game enjoyable and realistic, although not simulative , from this point of view. Let me be clear, even this chapter is able to satisfy those who wanted a strong updating two elements that goes back several years: the collision system is not yet satisfactory and artificial intelligence is "driven" in the behavior of the opponents, far from being realistic. That said, Gran Turismo 6 is the title ideal for motoring enthusiasts to three hundred and sixty degrees, those who equate the guide, the outline and the machines themselves.

Gran Turismo 6 isn't perfect, but it's still the best videogame out there for driving enthusiasts. It's what Gran Turismo 5 should have been. It needs work in the AI and damage modeling departments, and that next-gen visual upgrade can't come soon enough. Still, GT6 is a game that I expect I'll happily play for years to come, or at least until Polyphony Digital brings the next one out. Its charms run so deep that I’m just as happy chugging around the track at 86 MPH in a family van as I would be in the most expensive exotic racer.

Il consiglio, quindi, è uno solo: mettetevi al volante e godetevi il viaggio.

Occorre mettere una pietra sopra alcune cose endemiche e farsene una ragione, almeno fino alla venuta di GT7. Gli “appoggini” ci sono ancora, così come i danni esistono più per modo di dire. Ugualmente, l'IA è a tratti troppo accondiscendente e lontana dagli stimoli profusi da Forza Motorsport 5 con l'ottimo sistema Drivatar (seppur su una console di generazione diversa, va ricordato). Detto questo, il revamp del motore fisico rappresenta un passo avanti evidente e consente di “sentire” le vetture come mai era accaduto prima nella serie o, più in generale, nei light-sim. L'enorme quantità di auto e di scenari disponibili, poi, dona buona varietà e tanta, tanta longevità. Il tutto, in attesa di capire come si comporterà il gioco in multiplayer, quando sarà popolato da più gente di qualche sparuto giornalista. Diciamo che GT6 è quello che avrebbe dovuto essere GT5 fin dall'inizio. E diciamo che, onestamente, è difficile chiedere di più a una console con sette anni sulle spalle.It should put a lid on some things endemic and get over it, at least until the coming of GT7 . The "appoggini" are still there, as well as the damages are more so to speak. Likewise, the AI is at times condescending and too far from the stimuli being made ​​from Forza Motorsport 5 with the excellent system Drivatar (albeit on a different console generation, it should be noted). That said, the revamp of the physics engine represents a clear step forward and allows you to "feel" the cars like never before in the series or, more generally, in the light-sim. The huge amount of cars and available scenarios, then, gives good variety and a lot of longevity. All this, waiting to see how it will behave the game in multiplayer, when it will be populated by more people than some meager journalist. Let's say that GT6 is what would have to be GT5 outset. And let's say that, honestly, it's hard to ask for more in a console with seven years behind him.

Google Translation:Gran Turismo 6 mejora lo visto en su predecesor, pero todavía le falta subir una marcha más para estar a la altura de las grandes propuestas del género. La propuesta en general está francamente bien lograda, aunque hay algunas cosas que siguen faltando, y el empeño de Polyphony Digital de renunciar a algunos de los avances que el género ha experimentado en los últimos años puede resultar frustrante para algunos. Sin embargo por fin los grandes números en cuanto a coches y pistas se ven acompañados de una conducción sólida y realista. Un gran paso adelante para recuperar la antaño innegociable excelencia de la franquicia.Gran Turismo 6 improvement seen in its predecessor, but has yet to go up a gear to keep up the major proposals of the genre. The proposal is generally achieved really well, but there are some things still missing, and commitment of Polyphony Digital to waive some of the advances that the genre has experienced in recent years can be frustrating for some. But finally the big numbers in terms of cars and tracks are accompanied by a sound and realistic driving. A big step forward to retrieve the old franchise excellence nonnegotiable.

Gran Turismo 6’s problems are baggage the series has been carrying since 1997; the second you thunk into a wall at 200 kilometres per hour and drive off scot-free, or hop into a belching V8 that sounds more like a wheezing milkshake maker, the glass shatters and the illusion breaks with it. But when you’re on one of Gran Turismo 6’s absolutely gorgeous tracks, fused with the car you’re controlling, attacking apexes with confidence and devouring sectors with steely precision, it’s not hard to see why this series is deservedly regarded as one of the best of its kind, and this one is no exception.

Eurogamer Italy - 8/10Bottom Line: More of a driving sim and less of a racing game, Gran Turismo 6 is the cream of the crop.

Hardcore Gamer Magazine - 4/5
http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2013/12/06/review-gran-turismo-6/64753/
For fans of racing simulators, Gran Turismo 6 is as good as ever and arguably remains the gold standard of the genre. There’s over a thousand cars, thirty-seven tracks and tons of events. All of that combined with deep tuning results in an experience with huge lasting appeal. Unfortunately, it’s too long in the tooth for its own good. Playing it after experiencing Forza Motorsport 5 makes it feel like, well, going back a console generation. The mechanics and features are as impressive as ever, but now that we’ve seen what cars can look like on the current generation of consoles, it’s hard going back. Still, it’s hard to fault the game for being released too late and it remains another thoughtful, expertly crafted racing experience. It will be an exciting day when we get to experience the series on PS4, but for now, Gran Turismo 6 is a a fine stopgap for fans of realistic racing.

Polyphony's latest release feels like the game Gran Turismo 5 should have been, effectively streamlining the experience while adding new cars and courses.
It's not a huge leap forward, and is slightly overshadowed by the launch of next-gen systems, but there's enough content to keep petrolheads busy until the inevitable PS4 sequel.
The Guardian - 8/10
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/06/gran-turismo-6-review
Granted, tinkering with these would mean re-engineering a philosophy so engrained in GT's tyre tread that Polyphony must fear a catastrophic puncture. Yet, accomplished as GT6 is, the team will need to revisit some fundamentals if future iterations are able to stand wheel arch to wheel arch with the Forzas of the world. Indeed, the prospect of how the developer may be willing to evolve the franchise for PS4 is a riveting one. But knowing Polyphony Digital, that's a few years down the road yet.
For now, at least, PS3 owners should focus on enjoying another excellent Gran Turismo outing
Game Informer - 8.0/10
http://www.gameinformer.com/games/g...2/06/gran-turismo-6-game-informer-review.aspx
It's fitting that GT 6 appears at the end of the PS3's arc. This 15-year anniversary is an unironic celebration of the yoke of its legacy, but it doesn't have to signal the end of the franchise itself. Thankfully, glimmers of Gran Turismo's racing spirit still live.
EGM Now - 7.5/10
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/reviews/egm-review-gran-turismo-6/
GT6 feels like a rushed effort, and many problems from GT5 remain unresolved. But the classic GT base remains intact, since the actual act of simulation driving remains very tight—and it’s coupled with a tremendous amount of choice when you consider the 1,200 cars that come on the disc.

Google translation:La versione finale dell’ultima fatica di Kazunori Yamauchi ha confermato le luci e le molte ombre che purtroppo ci aspettavamo. La carriera è profonda, variegata, ben strutturata e coinvolgente. Il sistema meteo dinamico e il ciclo giorno/notte aggiungono ulteriore immersione e realismo, mentre le migliorie in termini di fisica della vettura e gestione delle sospensioni fanno segnare un passo in avanti al modello di guida. Purtroppo però il sistema di danni appena abbozzato, le collisioni ridicole, un’intelligenza artificiale troppo mansueta e il solito fastidiosissimo effetto trenino minano pesantemente l’esperienza di gioco offerta da Gran Turismo 6, etichettandola come l’ennesima occasione persa. Viene da chiedersi se questa continua voglia di aggiungere vetture su vetture sia davvero necessaria, e non sia invece solamente un pretesto per migliorare il record del precedente capitolo trascinati in un circolo vizioso che di fatto non porta da nessuna parte. Sarebbe il caso di concentrarsi sui contenuti di qualità e dedicarsi a risolvere le ormai gravi problematiche di gameplay che da fin troppo tempo attanagliano una serie che meriterebbe di ritornare ai fasti di un tempo.The final version of the latest effort by Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed the lights and shadows that unfortunately many were expecting. The career is deep, varied, well structured and engaging.

Unfortunately, the damage system just sketched, collisions ridiculous, artificial intelligence too tame and train the usual annoying effect severely undermine the gaming experience offered by Gran Turismo 6 , labeling it as yet another missed opportunity. It makes you wonder if this constant desire to add cars on cars is really needed, rather than being merely a pretext to improve the record of the previous chapter are drawn into a vicious cycle that does not actually lead anywhere. It should be allowed to focus on quality content and devote himself to solve the serious problems of gameplay now that afflict far too long a series that deserves to return to the glories of the past.

Gran Turismo 6 is – much like its franchise brothers – the perfect Sunday game. It feels safe, but it is all the same as enjoyable as ever.
It’s the familiarity that provides the biggest criticism; though Gran Turismo 5 was, in many ways, the same as the games that came before it, enough time had passed that it felt relevant again.
GT6 doesn’t benefit from the same nostalgic effect; it hasn’t been all that long since we first took on the Sunday Cup.
It’s thoroughly enjoyable all the same and the new improvements here really are worthwhile, better even. But nothing about the game feels new, not really.
