I picked it up last night and was also a bit worried that it was just GT5.5. I haven't played it enough yet but from the 4-5 hours I have I really like it. The progression is much more streamlined and makes more sense. You get 1-3 stars for finishing a race and the stars let you unlock higher tier races and license tests. The driving is much better than 5 as well. Graphics are very good and so are the night time and weather effects. I don't race in cockpit mode so the non premium cars that don't have a graphical cockpit don't bother me.
Couple things I dislike so far are the engine sounds are kind of weak but this is going to be updated in a patch. The pay outs for winning a race are kind of small but I'm sure this will get better. The 1200 car list is bloated with too many duplicate cars. I don't need 10 versions of a Dodge Viper.
I need a good wheel now.
