Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is the first version of the Gran Turismo franchise to be released on the PS3 and is a sign of what is to come in the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 full release. I am not like many of the other Gran Turismo players in that this is the first of the games I have played so can't comment on the comparison between this and previous versions but as a stand alone game I have been very impressed. This is a game where you have to race to earn money and use the money to purchase improved cars so that you can keep up with your rivals as you progress to higher levels within the game and at the start of the game you will feel that this is a slow racing game but ...  Read the complete review

The driving experience, however this is just a prologue and remember that! I bought this as i couldnt wait for Gran Turismo and after seeing pictures of in game play in a magazine i could not resist getting my hands on this, how could you? It is the ultimate driving game for experience! Since Gran Turismo 2 this game has dominated the driving game market and this is exactly why. AMAZING graphics - stunning, beautiful, words can not describe these graphics, they have to be seen to be beleived. Such cars as the Ferrari 430 and Peugot 207, one great, and one reliable, the cars all have absolutely amazing detail and you just can never ...  Read the complete review

I love Gran Turismo. The promise of the 5th incarnation was one of the main reasons behind my decision to plump for a PS3. The first, original version was the first game I bought for my PS1, and was subsequently played to death. The third version was the first game I bought for the PS2, and...well, I think you can see where this is going. I follow the game with an almost religious fervour, and in my opinion, it is the best any racing gamer can possibly buy. So what of this Prologue to the full version of GT5? How does it measure up to the incredible standards set by it's predecessors? The short answer is absolutely fantastically, although it's far from ...  Read the complete review

As I'm a fan of the Grand Turismo racing games, I had to have this game. Even despite the fact that it isn't the finished title, merely an introduction to what the final will look like (hence the title "Prologue"). The first thing I noticed about the game was the shear amount of cars available. There is a good balance of cars. with a nice mixture of fast, collectable and sought after cars. The other nice addition is the Scuderia Ferrari F2007. After my first race, I was blown away with the handling. It felt so realistic. You really got a sense of the speed and grip, which was absolutely amazing. And you get an even greater sense of control ...  Read the complete review

This game blew my socks off. I was a bit apprehensive, afterall it makes no effort to disguise the fact that its only the introduction to a game that wont be out for 12 months. The graphics are unbelievable, I messed up my first lap because I was blinded by the sun! The super-alpha or whatever sony calls it makes the cars look so real and shine in the suns light like you just got it dropped off from the show room. The driving physics are true to the gran turismo franchise, there's tonnes of options to play with, who wants ABS and traction control on a racing game anyway!? They've finally got licensing from the MAJOR brands ... driving a ferrari down a speedway ...  Read the complete review
