3 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but less engaging than previous versions   August 29, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've played all versions of Gran Turismo and have very much enjoyed the improvements as the new versions came out. I miss being able to upgrade and customise each rides, What I also miss are the CARS! where are all the Toyotas? cars from the 80s and the 90s???????


2 out of 5 stars Like paying to be a Beta tester   August 27, 2008

This won't shock anyone, but GT Prologue is gorgeous. The game looks great. No damage though, which is unforgivable given the power of the hardware. It gives the game a sterile feel compared to most every other modern racing game.

The AI is as good as previous versions of GT, in other words, it's horrendous. Want to win? Bump your way to the finish line....it's becoming the series trademark. Again, this is unforgivable.

Online options are sparse and the net code is poor. Online is buggy to the point of being broken, which is shocking, since the closest competiton to this game (Forza) has released two iterations since GT4 that each offered creative new additions to expand the online modes.

The Physics feel the same as GT3 & 4. Like the past games and Forza, this isn't the most true life simulation. The best simulation of driving I've seen is still Sega's Ferrari F355 Challenge. Still, most people don't want that...too much realism can be frustrating, and GT:P offers a decent balance here.

IMO, Prologue is another word for Beta. This is $40 demo, and just isn't worth the price. There are better options.



2 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled, it IS just a demo!   August 27, 2008

4 star average and a low price gold box deal usually equal a done deal for me. I bought this game the last time they had it on sale, and I feel like I was ripped off.

The name made me a bit weary with "Prologue" but who really releases demos at full game price? I bought it thinking it would be a new, fun installment in the series with all of the other unlockable content and adjustability, but it is not!

You can't switch from first person mode.
You do not have even half the cars available.
There are only a few tracks.
The medal ceremony music is atrocious, and you cannot skip it.
The load times between garage, dealership, and events are annoying.

Don't buy it unless you are a collector and need this ridiculous fraction of a game.



3 out of 5 stars No Tweaking it's Arcade Mode only!   August 27, 2008

I bought this game with intentions of having an awesome time with it. Gran Turismo is fun mainly for the reason that you can upgrade your cars with different parts and such. This game allows you to do nothing but buy new cars. No tweaks to cars no changing cars up at all. To me this game is totally worthless. I gave it 3 stars because the graphics are outstanding but... Gran Turismo to me is swapping turbos/engines/tires/suspensions. This allows none of that. I wish i would have just waited for the full game.


4 out of 5 stars Good game, cant wait for release   August 24, 2008

The game overall is what you would have come to expect from GT, however, not enough cars and the menu system seems sluggish if not downright irritating.
