Developed By the Best
Polyphony Digital is the developer of the Gran Turismo franchise, led by creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Polyphony Digital is known for pushing the limits of the PlayStation hardware, and with its realistic graphics and physics, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is no different. In addition to receiving CAD data from the auto manufacturers, they have taken thousands of photos to model each car (and track). As an example of the level of detail, a car in Gran Turismo 4 has the same number of polygons as a headlight in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Polyphony works even closer with the automotive industry to make sure that the cars look and drive just as they do in real life. In fact, Kazunori Yamauchi designed the on-board computer for the real Nissan GT-R. If you're lucky to buy one when it releases, you will notice the Polyphony Digital logo when you start your car.Take Your Cars and Tracks Online and Off

 Wow, much more than a demo July 3, 2008
Gran Turismo is one of the games that has defined the PlayStation platform from the very beginning. I was prepared to wait for the full fifth iteration of the series until a friend insisted that I try it out. What I found was that despite the limited number of cars and tracks, there is a lot more in GT5P than there was in GT4.
For everyone that has complained about the series' weak AI, there is online play. Want to play bumper-cars with the noobs? Try the beginner online tracks. Want to spin any time you give too much steering input and fly off the track? Try the professional events.
Car tuning has been reduced substantially. You still get plenty of options to customize your car, but it looks like the GT1/2 trick of hopping your CRX up to compete with everything but the GTRs is finally out.
Arcade mode is a lot more meaningful now that your score is ranked against everyone else that plays GT. Don't forget to try out the tracks in drift mode - almost a completely different game.
Real cars June 29, 2008
What a game I never have been a very great fan of GT, but this game it's awesome, finally you feel the difference between cars, in the drive, breaks, and speeding, no so fast like NFS, but in the real world this is more accurate.
 E um jogo bom.... mais poderia ser mais legal June 28, 2008

Acho que a jogabilidade poderia ser mais facil e gostaria tambem que os carros ficam amassados quando batidos, como o jogo Paradise que e excelente.
Beautiful, but unfortuantely thats where the amazement stops June 23, 2008

I am a fan of racing games, mostly arcade racers, but i'd figure id give this a shot because of the big hype. Needless to say, I don't regret picking it up, because there will be days where I feel like I need a challenge, this game will give it to me. This game is very difficult (I am playing on the professional settings). Phyisics of the cars are great, and its fun to learn how to drive each car, because its different for each, but this game is almost too hard and requires 100% PURE perfection on every race, which sometimes the race can take up to 6 mins + which means at 5 minutes, if you screw up (which is very likely) you're going to have to do it ALL over again, because very rarely do you get another chance to redeem yourself. Now needless to say, I don't think i'm horrible at this game, I honestly think its too difficult. Lack of car damage also makes this game unrealistic, it looks like alot of the times, your just playing bumper cars with no damage.
I've played the online portion and was disapointed by the lag problems (cars pop out of no where) and the fact there is no Headseat support. If the game is online, you should incorperate headset support because the hole reason to play online is to interact with others to have an enjoyable experience (IMO).
This game is strictly for the fans of the GT series.
great game, not full gt5. June 19, 2008
this is a taste of what the full hugely detailed gt5 will be, many many details left out of this game, but still a huge car selection, fantastic racing and tracks among other features, GET IT!
