GameZone’s Robert Workman goes and evaluates what has happened and what has changed-since the announcement of Gran Turismo in 2006. A lot of other racing games have raised the bar since 2006, will Gran Turismo be up to date with our expectations?

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost five years since Sony initially announced Gran Turismo 5, or back as it was known at E3 2006, Vision Gran Turismo. The game is literally nearing the finish line, set for a worldwide release later this year. But since its announcement, racing games have changed a lot – and for the better. Believe it or not, it’s gotten quite a boost from new improvements and enhancements, and it’s only going to get better following the release of GT5, with such games as Motorstorm Apocalypse and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit hitting the track around the same time.
