Gran Turismo 5 is suitable as a xmas present for anyone aged 5+ and for boys and girls alike. GT5 is a game that you can take as seriously as you want. If you are simply looking for 5 minutes of fun then you can load up Gran Turismo 5 and have a couple of goes at the arcade mode. This is where you simply race in a stand along race against other computer controlled racers. These are really fun and there are so many different modes that are suitable for those who have never had a playstation before as well as more complex levels for experienced racers.

If you are looking at taking the game more seriously then there is the famous career mode. You can earn money by completing races which you can then spend either upgrading your car with new body work, engine parts, tyres and other racing mods. Alternatively you can spend the money buying new cars for your garage. To enter certain races you have to own a particular car.. such as the "Yaris Race" where you must own a Toyota Yaris. This kind of in depth game play which usually takes weeks or months to complete is fantastic for those long winter nights and to keep someone entertained over the Christmas holidays.

We all know that Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends and there are so many games that are 1 player. This means its a very lonely game to play and not very socialble. With Gran Turismo 5 not only do you have multi player modes where family and friends can come over and you play the game together but there is also the online community for interacting with yu cyber friends.

Gran Turismo 5 makes a great Xmas present. It is not too expensive and it is a game that anyone who has a PS3 would love to own. Make sure you remember if your ordering online that the postal service generally slows down in the build up to Xmas so make sure you order your copy of Gran Turismo 5 in plenty of time. If you want to get a copy of Gran Turismo 5 off someone (maybe mum or dad) then make sure you add GT5 to your Chrismas list
