  2. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

    30 June 2008

    GT5 Prologue is a lot of fun and racing fans will definitely want to check it out if they have a PS3. The game is also very family friendly so it is a game everyone can enjoy. My only complaint about GT5 Prologue is that since it is only a prologue and not quite a full game, I personally think the $40 price tag is a little high. Unless you are a diehard Gran Turismo fan, my recommendation would be to rent the game or wait for the price to eventually go down. Read more

    As the new era of simulation-style racing games has officially begun, this is but only a taste of what’s in stores for gamers as they await the completion of Gran Turismo 5. Racing enthusiasts have plenty of content and features within this package to warrant the $39.99 price point. Now I will admit this game isn’t for everyone. If your style of racing games is more along the lines of Ridge Racer, this GT isn’t a franchise worth messing with. However, for those who... Read more

    One of the first games that I actually reviewed was . I don’t know if it was because the game was so awe inspiring that I was at a lost for words or if it was just the fact that it was literally the very first review that I actually did, but I only managed to etch out about 400 words for the review. Well that was many years ago and I’m now a different more experienced reviewer. is now considered the definition of mainstream racing simulation and Kazunori Yamauchi can... Read more

    Gran Turismo 5: Prologue may only be a taste of what is to come, but it’s a game that’s well worth the asking price (especially the cheaper price you can purchase it for online). There’s enough here to suggest that Gran Turismo 5 will be the best Gran Turismo to date when it arrives sometime next year. Of course by then we’re hoping that the AI has been improved and that the online experience is a smoother one amongst other things. There’s a good chunk of... Read more

    After playing GT5 Prologue for awhile I am really looking forward to gran turismo 5 now. The graphics are simply amazing, the races are really fun, and the online aspect of the game makes it even better! I love the in-car view and the realistic sounds and visuals of the game. The tracks are amazing too. If this is just the demo of the real game, I cannot wait until the real thing comes out! Read more

    For most racers there is not really anywhere left to go. After deciding on brutal realism or wacky races you then simply add on a few more features (car damage, online play, car wash) every version until you run out of ideas and have to start including bikes. This maybe a blessing when it comes to Gran Turismo, because unlike others it's only ever been concerned with very few elements, physics, graphics and car voyeurism, doing each of these to perfection. Sure Mr... Read more

    graphics were excellent, it was hard to tell that i wasn't actually behind the cars in real life as the detail was amazing. The tracks weren't that difficult but the difference in handling between the cars meant that every race was mildly challenging. It only took a couple of hours to complete the game, which was dissapointing however as it is only a prologue this is a def rental, if only to get you excited about the release of the full game. Overall a good game. Read more
