If you was to ask many gamers what they think is the best racing series, many would say Gran Turismo. Some have been better than others, but going by all the hype Gran Turismo 5 prologue looks as though it could be the best yet.
This is great news for Sony PS3 owners, however if you own a Microsoft Xbox 360 then you will not get the chance to play this game. However there are still a great number of racing games for the Xbox 360, like Forza 2 and the Need for Speed series.
If you own an Xbox 360 and had the choice of any racing game, then what would your choice be?

yes great game can’t wait n if u want damage mud etc one word ms fanboys motorstorm 2 baby. ok thats more than 1 buy a ps3 tight arses!!!! P.s on mine now lol
GT5 all the way anyone who says different is lying to you. The sales speak for themself if the GT5 demo just in eroupe is outselling the 360 games and were talking just europe alone for gt5 and worldwide for 360 that shows what people want to play period.
Lucky me i have a 60GB PLAYSTATION 3 and a preorder for Grand Turismo: Prolouge. PLAYSTATION 3 has the best and the most and the highest quality games and more HD power. Than Xbox 360 on PC for that matter.
Any “gamer” who happens to only own a 360 and likes racing games KNOWS GT is the best and obviously wants it. The only box owners here claiming otherwise are fanboys, and they are just perpetual victims of the Infamous MS FUD campaign, keep it up xbots, you’ll be robots and no longer have to think for youselfs in no time.
Personally, I thought the GT series just didnt get any better than GT2 - the 2 discs (Arcade and Sim) on the original PlayStation. GT3 was just GT2 with slicker graphics… nothing new… GT4 was, well, it WAS pretty, but….??? !!!!
GT5 - well, Im gonna have to really let this one grow on me.. gonna have to put some very SERIOUS hours into it before I make my judgement… it took absolute AGES to actually “get into” the very first one, but that was totally worth it!
I still havent found a racing sim on ANY platform that hit me as much as GT2 !!!
PGR4 is nice. But it AINT no GT or Forza !!!
On the modern front, any serious enthusiast would have to say Forza 2 is superior… the smaller selection of vehicles does hamper it somewhat…
But also, DONT forget CodeMasters - with their RaceDriver series !! That series is absolutely fantastic!!! Its got great physics, great graphics, plus the cars get VERY nicely damaged!!
But that is both platforms… I got a little confused whilst reading some of the comments above… I thought it was about your driving game of choice.. not what console is better!!!
And if Need For Speed *EVER* gets back to all the magic its lost since going “Underground” (groan).. well, that would be a complete blast too !!!!
But I guess GT5 will, no doubt, be the best… of its series… whether or not the best out of all the current sims, well… who knows just yet???

I have a 360, and honestly, I’m jealous of the PS3 owners getting Gran Turismo 5. Forza 2 is a great game but I like the GT series better.
I have a 360 & ps3 forza 2 is good but every time i play i think i can’t wait to play gt5, i don’t think i will be dissapointed gt5 but the prologue isn’t big enough to keep me happy and i’ll go back to forza. PGR 3-4 are good but very different as it more about challenges than racing, unless you go online. looking forward to the new toca race driver game that will keep me going until march 2009 when gt5 will come out if were lucky…
I have Xbox 360 and PS3 so what I’m about to say next has nothing to do with cosole preferences, only game preferences.
Forza is a better at the whole driving simulation thing than GT based on my own driving experiences. Having said that the GT games look far better than Forza and have better racing tracks. I found Forza got extremely repetitive and dull fast going around the same tracks over and over again without any real competition from the AI drivers
I do like the PGR games because they require you do drive properly if you want to win, but at the same time make it much easier to do fun things like drifting.
I can’t see how any Xbox 360 owner could possibly be jealous of PS3 owners getting GT5, because there is nothing to be jealous of. If they really wanted it that badly they could just buy a PS3 to play it.
I bought my original PS2 for 1 game only - GT3. I definately got my moneys worth from that game, and being able to use it to play dvds as well was great.
I also bought GT4, because I wanted the Nurburgring circuit, which is just amazing to play, especially with so many different cars to try it on, and each of them in different levels of tune.
Now that the format war is over, I think I’ll buy a PS3, and will get GT5 as well. I think I’ll wait till the price comes down a bit more though, and maybe GT5 will be out by then. Till then, my PS2 will have to do.
I have a 360, and also a PS2. I have GT4 for my PS2 and loved it, so of course I also want GT5. I saw the GT5 demo at my cousin’s and got blown away, so now I’m going to trade my 360 in for a new PS3. Also, I want to get I am Legend on Blu-Ray too.
I definitely feel the momentum shift from 360 to the PS3. I didn’t think the PS3 was going to be catching up this quickly to the 360, but it seems like it won’t be long before being overrun in worldwide monthly sales.
I hate being a fanboy trying to defend a dying brand, so I’m jumping ship.
