No damage April 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ever since I've played the demo I was looking forward to this game, hoping that they would eventually add in a feature that would show realistic damage. The cars are beautiful, the backdrops for the tracks are breath taking and the handling of the cars are pretty good. The only thing that hurts the game in my opinion is when you smack into guardrails at 75+ mph and have zero damage done to your car. Or say you're driving and knock your opponent in the rear. You receive no damage, and it barely affects your driving.
The tracks are pretty fun to play, and a little frustrating at times.
More than a half of a game April 28, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The price really reflects what this game is. Its not a full game but more than half of a game. The base engines and interface are complete. It can definitely use more cars and tracks but the quality and work that has gone into making those cars and tracks more than makes up for the limited numbers. I could only imagine all the modeling work it takes to make each car and track model so IMO, they are putting out Prologue to show that PD is making significant progress but still has some ways to go in terms of adding other content that has been a staple in the GT franchise. I'm playing this game on a 1080p SXRD set and it looks great. I do notice occasional frame drops but they are few and far between. Trained eyes will definitely see its a video game but obviously, its a good step forward for the franchise. Mostly like, you probably won't be getting your $40 back when the final version comes out but what you are getting in return is a rather complete game in its own right compared to other non-GT games. If you want the eye candy and enough content to keep you sane until the final release, Prologue won't disappoint.
 Not like the old Gran Turismo games. April 26, 2008
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I recieved this game the other day and was so excited to get it open and play. The download was extremely long campared to recent games that had to download. The game itself is not what I expected from a Gran Turismo series. The graphics are great but the gameplay sucks. There is no damage to the vehicles. Which really takes away from the realism of racing. You can drive along the wall to go around corners. If I wanted to do that I would have stuck with Need for Speed games. If you hit another car it just bumps over. There are no upgrades in the game, you have to buy a car and drive it factory. That takes away from goals and the fun of fixing your car up.
I don't know about this one. I like the graphics, I don't think anyone can complain about that. I just wish they would have kept the game for realistic. I guess I should return all this stuff and buy a Xbox360.
Good, Not Great April 24, 2008
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
Having played previous GT games, I was excited for this one. The graphics are pretty cool and it's fun to play now that I have the rumble controller. It just seems to be missing something. I hate to say it, but I almost like PGR4 for the Xbox better. The controls seem stiff. It's trying to be too real of a car simulator. I prefer that games still be games. If I want to drive a car for real, then I can go get in my own and go for a drive.
Another issue I have is you have to fully exit out of races and re-enter the racing menus as if you just turned on the game. It should be a bit more seamless than that. If I just finished race C-5, then there should be an option to move on to C-6 without having to fully exit to the main menu and go through all the hoops again.
I also did not like that it took like an hour to 'install' the game. It said on the back of the box the only space required was about 5.5mb and it doesn't take an hour to install 5.5mb. This made it quite frustrating to have to wait so long just to get started playing.
Overall I give it 3 out 5 for the great graphics.
Hungry for more April 24, 2008

The game tops all previous incarnations of the Gran Turismo Franchise. Many have called it a demo, but with over 70 cars and over 10 tracks it feels much more like an appetizer before a great meal.
The game feels and plays great. The customizable controls are a plus.
No game has ever gotten my adrenaline to pump like the online mode of Gran Turismo 5. Yes, you might get pushed off a track by a 10 year old playing on his dads television, but just that makes it so much fun. You want to prove to everyone that they might be able to push you off the course, but coming back and finishing in front of them.
My only major complained is that, just like previous Versions, it skews very strongly towards Japanese cars. However, I guess that is what one should expect from a game developed by a Japanese company.
Overall, this is a great game that just makes me hungry for the full game.
