First drive: Gran Turismo 5

After all the delays, promotional videos and general hype, the fifth instalment of Gran Turismo is finally available to buy. We've spent the last couple of days finding out whether it can possibly live up to its expectations.

Well, the intro doesn't let the side down. Allow the game to load without touching anything and you are treated to a detailed video which takes you through the manufacturing of a Nissan GTR. The whole thing is gloriously shot and does nothing to dampen your anticipation of what's to come.
