• Choose from a wide selection of cars and superbikes

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Gran Turismo is one of the franchise games that elevated the Sony PlayStation 2 from an average console to a gaming phenomenon. People weren’t just blown away by the quality of the racing experience and the number of different vehicles — they were also dumbfounded by the sheer graphical brilliance of the games, which have continued to be the benchmark for racing simulators, generation after generation. The forthcoming installment in the franchise, Gran Turismo HD, looks to once again set the standard for the future stock of sim racing games.

If you’ve played Gran Turismo 4, you’ll feel right at home taking control of Gran Turismo HD since very little has changed. The only difference, of course, is that HD is being built for the soon-to-be-released Sony PlayStation 3. It’s no surprise then, that the key selling point for the next edition of Gran Turismo focuses once again on wowing gamers with its realistic visuals. Running for the first time in 1920×1080 progressive scan mode, the game is a sight to behold in all its HD glory. Standing back and watching the action is like watching the Speed channel — it’s just that realistic.

Unfortunately, only a smattering of details have been released about the HD version. The demo version revealed at E3 offered four tracks and seven vehicles, and offered up the most realistic background environments in the franchise’s history. Thanks to the HD resolution trees, spectators, buildings, surface texture, and more were aglow with lifelike realism. There were two camera views available — regular front bumper/fender view and the close-up chase view. Rumor has it that the A.I. powering the opposition vehicles has not been changed, and that there was no damage meter for cars bouncing off of walls (they simply slowed down). However, it is difficult to speculate about the fullness of the game, as Sony has left no clues outside of the limited demo presented at E3.

Beyond cars, the demo foretold that the HD version will deliver superbike racing. Again HD resolution extends to the motorcycle action with realistic riding positions and cornering. It is even rumored that motorcyclists may fall off their bikes in the nastiest collisions. However, it was unclear how much of a delay should be expected from the dramatic wipe-outs. Although the release of Gran Turismo HD is highly anticipated, most of the details remain shrouded in mystery as of May 2006. In fact, it is even rumored that the name hasn’t been finalized, especially with the moniker “GT 5″ being tossed about after the demo. Until Sony gives up the goods on the forthcoming game, you’ll just have to settle for speculation and screen shots.

In Burnout Paradise players are treated to a rarity in the video games universe: a complete reinvention of an established franchise that equals, if not betters any of the previous games in the series. Yes, this is a large claim, but one that can be explained in a single phrase: Next-Gen Freedom.

Although the Burnout series’ over the top mobile action has been its calling card since it ignited audiences on the PS2 in 2001, and later on the first generation Xbox console, Burnout Paradise is the first game in the series that has been designed specifically for play on Next Generation consoles. This has allowed game developer Criterion to rip the training wheels off the game and rebuild it from scratch. The result is a new, expansive world that players can roll through at will. And what a world it is.Enter Paradise City
Heaven on Earth, at least to road-raging, crash-causing Burnout fanatics, Paradise City is your domain and ultimate proving ground in Burnout Paradise. This expansive driver’s playground stretches across 250 miles and encompasses all sorts of road driving conditions, from fun-in-the-sun seaside cruising boulevards, to mountain roads and downtown gridlock. But regardless of what stretch of asphalt you find yourself on, the beauty of this place is that nothing is blocked off and your wits are at least as important as the horsepower under your hood when it comes to racing here. Check out Paradise City’s five sub areas .

Burnout Your Way
Unlike in previous Burnout games, Burnout Paradise not only puts the keys to your ride in your hands, but places you squarely in the driver’s seat when it comes to where you can go and what you can do.

Along with wide avenues and crowded highways, the open game design of Paradise City is also jammed full of hidden side streets, back roads and alley ways. These can be used as short cuts in races, that is, if you know where they are. As you explore, commit these potential short cuts to memory because they will definitely come in handy in a tight race. And since we are talking Burnout here, players should not expect uneventful, genteel contests of speed and precision driving. In Paradise City players are always free to slam, shunt and wreck opponents in their bids for supremacy and they will. Also, new to the Burnout series, races can now start anywhere, anytime. Just pull up to a stoplight and spin your wheels to start one in one of five different event classes:

• Classic Race
• Road Rage
• Burning Route
• Stunt Run (new)
• Marked Man (new)

Instant Online
Burnout Paradise also keeps the mobile carnage coming while simultaneously setting the new standard in online social gameplay. With the new ‘Easy Drive’ feature you can find friends online and with the click of a button invite them to a race. Once they’ve accepted the race will start immediately. That’s right, no more annoying wait times at online lobbies and servers. And keeping in touch with friends is easier than ever.Team up or Takedown
In the winner-take-all universe of Burnout teaming up usually isn’t the first option that comes to mind, but on these rough and tumble streets it’s a good option to keep in mind. With more than 300 FreeBurn Challenges packed into the game, players always have the choice of going it alone against the field as a whole or joining forces with up to seven of your buddies in user-created race routes. Either way, if you are victorious in your takedown you’ll get the chance to talk some trash as you exchange Mugshots with your victim via an optional camera hooked to your gaming system or your gamertag/PSN avatar if you prefer to keep your identity on the down-low.

Showtime: Crash Anywhere, Any Time
And finally since a new Burnout release wouldn’t be complete without a little something special in the wreckage department, Burnout Paradise continues the carnage with an update of its familiar ‘Crash Mode.’ Renamed ‘Showtime Mode,’ players can now crash, bounce and scatter their ride in any location and replay the wreckage over and over in slow motion. One of the most addictive and down right fun features of the game, players activate the mode by simply pulling both triggers on their controller and if they are good enough can also immortalize their Showtime moments on the leaderboards for all to see.

Driving fans this is Next-Gen at its best and definitely the Burnout title you have been waiting for.
