What Is The Point In Driving In A Video Game



You will find thousands of people will get out from their ford fiesta after they have finished their job to get behind another driving seat, this time a virtual one on the Xbox or other game console to have a bit of a game. One of the biggest questions to ask if why on earth do people bother with driving games?

Great Car Driving

You will find that one of the main reasons people go out and get these games is because it allows them to try out cars they could not before. The great thing about these games nowadays is that they are very realistic and if you go the extra mile and buy a steering wheel you will find the driving experience to have gone up.

Racing On Awesome Tracks

something else that you also need to think about are the tracks that are featured in the games are all taken from real life. It is also safe to say that you can race on these tracks with your friends over online play which really does add to the effect of playing the game.

Safe

Another great thing about these games is the fact that they are safe to play in that you will not get injured when hurtling around corners or when crashing into an opponent at over 100mph.

In the end the whole point of going after something like a driving video game is to have fun with your friends or indeed just by yourself doing something you could just not do in reality. This really is what a video game is all about!

Of course if you want a safer way to drive then why not think about Audi lease or perhaps something like the Seat Leon as they are both great makes of car.

Is Gran Turismo 5 Any Good?



I would not really ever be happy in saying that a Sony exclusive game would be the best game of any kind of genre and yes I do own a PS3, but this game is actually very good indeed!. Crack out those Audi lease cars as well as lease vans this game is out and is ready to rock and roll.

Some Of The Good Things

The damage model which they have only brought into this game is something that people have been after for years and this all depends on whether you are driving a premium vehicle or not. Something else that has come in is the weather effects but only on certain tracks. New visuals have been brought into the game such as dynamic skid marks, dust and drivers can flash their headlights too, all pretty cool stuff.

Something else to consider when it comes to this is that the game features around 71 tracks and 1,031 cars, it is also to be noted that Bugatti and Lamborghini are in the game now!! There are of course downsides to this game.

The Major Negatives

The AI (like all other games in the franchise) are terrible and will break for no reason at all when you are there not knowing that there is a human controlled player present. I am not a big fan of the damage model either as you have to have smashed the car up several times in some bad crashes before it makes a difference to the look of the car. The course maker does not let you do anything from scratch but only allows you to edit random generated tracks.

It also seems that a lot of the cars lack cockpit views and the tracks have not got as much detail in them as the cars.

So although this is a good game, typical to Sony, there are many issues with the game. Check out car leasing UK as an option if you wish to get a car.
