Audio definitely needs work, pretty lacklustre at the minute. I can deal with the inconsistent visuals, as they range from mediocre, to awe-inspiring. The tracks could do with tightening up visually, as could the effects, but the car models and lighting are staggering.The main area for improvement is the menus for me. It was so annoying to see all this amazing physics and simulation work be tainted by such a godawful front end, surely a fairly simple aspect. It just needs more consistency and a more logical approach. In GT5 buttons change context or are omitted entirely seemingly at random. Custom soundtracks are largely pointless as hopping between menus interrupts it with horrible muzak. Navigating the menus can be confusing and unnecessarily awkward.And then there are other niggles, like an awful chase camera, no free movement (really guys? In a 2011 racer?), no neutral gear (admittedly hardly a huge problem, but why?) and the inability to change down to reverse manually, no "invert y-axis" option for cockpit cam, etc. It just feels like a weird contrast of incredibly high tech and impressive, yet really quite archaic and boneheaded. A missed opportunity for me, as the actual driving is unrivalled.
