Yes you should. It's nice. I try to do all the races from the ****pit view now just for the little subtleties of the game. I don't get to play that often (too busy with side projects). But it's definitely a solid racing simulator.

I started falling out of love with the GT franchise with GT4. I felt that they shifted too much effort towards the steering wheel and left the regular controller players behind. I even bought the wheel to see if that would help. The problem is that you can't get any G-force feedback for breaking or accelerating without some sort of hydraulics (and that is only limited to a max of 1.0G), so it's still not a real simulator.

I do like playing the racing games, but I have gravitated more towards the feel and style of the Forza franchise. Oh, and the interface with Forza is much better than in GT3 or GT4. I haven't played GT5 yet, so I can't comment on that one.

Shift 2 looks years ahead of this. The frs gearing is also off. 3rd gear tops out around 80 something in real life it's more around 100. Not happy about this purchase I just should have borrowed the game from work. But glad I had a GameStop gift card to use and didn't waste my money.

First of all you must have a bad HDTV that is not 1080p. GT5 looks awesome if you have the right setup. 4.5 hours to do all your updates? What kind of internet connection do you have? There are a lot of updates if you are starting from scratch but dang bro...4.5 hours! WOW

Just saying...it is the best looking and more realistic racing game out there.

Forza and GT5 is all you need to play. Everything else is bunk...

Thanks for the info, i got some time to chill tonight so imma down load the frs for sure... Been a huge fan of gt since it came out on ps1... This was the first part of my introduction to cars and modification before i could legally drive... Plenty of good times with this series and one of the reasons i would never buy an x-box... Thanks again OP and thanks GT5!!!

I bought the game couple months ago and the graphics is horrible like you say. I used to have Forza 4 before my Xbox360 died and it was way nicer in graphics dept.

I am picking the game up in an hour. I played it for a while when it first released, but was supremely disappointed. Forget Forza 4 I thought Forza 3 blew it away. By the time Forza 4 came out, it made GT 5 seem archaic.

The Menu system is so bad and poorly designed. Single player seemed like a chore. B Spec was really misguided. Actually One of the most disappointing games for me this generation. I'm stupidly picking it up again to play around with a car I already own in real life. I really need help.

That's the exact same reason I'm buying it.

HAHAHA I just re-bought GT5 yesterday after I found out about the FRS release. At least this way I don't have to use real gas and waste miles on my real car lol.

I noticed the Scion has much higher tuning limits than the GT86. Top power is well over 300hp and I did not even add the exhaust and intake.

What fun this car is at 305hp.

So for the people that already downloaded it, where exactly do you find the FS-R once you download it? I have it downloaded but there's no dealer for Scion and it's not under Toyota either.

On the main top menu screen you have to go to the red download (push start) looking button; if you don't have this in your menu you have not updated to GT5 update 2.0 yet; once in this menu you can select the car packs/ paint packs & track packs that you purchased in PSN Store. Now when you select GT Life you will have a gift coupon for the FR-S & will see Scion in dealerships

Awesome! Thanks Didn't even notice that there on the home screen since I always go right into the game and haven't purchased any download packs or anything for the game.
