Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The award-winning Gran Turismo franchise returns with its 5th installment, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, exclusively for PlayStation 3. With its signature realism and unrivaled physics, this highly anticipated precursor to Gran Turismo 5 continues to blur the line between simulation and reality."Prologue" is defined as an introductory or preceding event or development, and true to every letter, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue treats both long-time fans of the Gran Turismo franchise as well as those coming to it new, with a generous sampling of what they can expect to see in Gran Turismo 5 later in the year and further releases on the PS3.
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 Gran Turismo 5: Prologue features over 60 stunning cars - including vehicles by Lotus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Ferrari for you to race on seriously realistic, real-life tracks: including the Eiger Nordwand, the London City Track and Suzuka - all rendered in incredible High Definition graphics.

Up to 16 players will be able to go head-to-head on some of the world's best racetracks on PlayStation Network. All you need to get racing is a broadband connection and PS3. Once you're up and revving, Global Online Rankings and the My Garage homepage feature will leave the world in n o doubt as to just who is the best at Gran Turismo.And then there's the Online Dealership, providing a wealth of information on cars and manufacturers and also Gran Turismo TV - a dedicated online channel available exclusively from PSN and packed with some of the greatest content that Motorsport, car manufacturers and TV has to offer.

Average Rating:
 Rating: - Best racing game thus far!I didn't originally want to purchase this game because of it basically just being a $[...] demo, but after I had rented it I just had to have it. I love the way the cars on GT5 move. It's an amazing game, both graphically and in gameplay. I would have to say that it is one of the best racing games I've played on PS3 or any console actually Rating: - Gran Turismo 5 - First ImpressionFrom the "Prologue" in the title, you know right off the bat that GT5-P is not a full release. Missing from this version is the full "Simulation" mode which you can buy cars and tune them with racing parts with cash acquired from prize money and participate in Licence tests in order to qualify for tougher, more prestigious races. Still, there are more than enough features to keep fans of one of the best racing franchises happy. First off is the beautiful HD output. If you want to show ...

Some people didn't want to pay $40 for it, but the amazing physics and graphics, plus the in car camera mode make it completely worth it. Can't wait for the full game Rating:  - Gran Tursimo 5Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is as they say a large demo of Gran Turismo 5 that is yet to come. Having played all 4 previous titles this new addition has some greater enhancements but also lacks a whole lot. The online mode is a bonus and it has it's rewards, but lacks many other features other online racing games have. Graphically the game is top notch, controls superb, and authenticity of each vehicle is outstanding. I recommend this game only for real car enthusiasts. Rating: - Realistic RacingGran Tourismo 5 Prologue is the first racing game I purchased for my PS 3. The graphics and colors are extremely realistic. Using the controller for steering, braking, and accelerating takes some getting use to. The wheel might be easier. All the tracks have an arcade version were you can do time trials to build skills before actually racing. The cars you race in events never crash so you have to run a near perfect race to beat them. You have a wide selection of cars to choose from. You start ... Read More |
