This a must have for any fan of the Gran Turismo series. The gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same but have been brought up to date with full 1080p visuals. I cannot begin to say how great this game looks in HD as it is simply stunning. It is a showpiece as part of the future of the PS3 and everything from the detail of the tracks( London has near enough every shop mapped correctly) to the cars themselves. One thing that is new to the series is the in-car view. This view brings a new dimension to the game and is very fun to play. The game itself is pretty light on features with only a few tracks and game modes.

Online the game is good fun but can be ruined by the people that you play with/against. The game also contains documentaries and episodes of Top Gear that can be downloaded (at a price) for all those true petrolheads.

This a good game but is very shallow on features and tracks which I'm sure will be addressed in the full version of the game.

"EPIC" Thats why I have given this a score of 10 out of 10

Graphics are ok, game play is average, remember it is just a taster of what the main one will bring you! And i cant wait for the full game

Great game brilliant graphic very realistic game play great fun when you using the sterling wheel just the one special simulation of driving game

Gran turismo is a brilliant game as it has great graphics, it has great choice of cars including audis,ferraris,astons,nissans, jaguars and many more, and the tracks are awesome, they include london,daytona, fuji speedway and loads more.great game i recommend

Well, this was one of the first games I got for the PS3 and it was fun for about an hour, after that it just got boring and monotonous.

Good
-Graphics are astounding, when watching a replay you have trouble telling if it's a game or not.
-F1 car is fun.

That is honestly all I can think of.

I even downloaded a Save game with the F1 car in which has added a bit of fun because, other than spending about 8 years going round the same tracks in the same cars in the same events getting 20,000 credits at time to get the 2,500,000 F1 car (But you have to buy speciific cars for special races) and by the time you have the F1 car all the tracks are boring, your brain has become numb with the monotonous nature and you have grown a beard.

Buy it to see the amazing graphics when it is £5 but other than that avoid it if you enjoy your life.

EDIT---------------------------

I just worked out how many times you have to do a race that gives you 50.000 credits for 1st place to get the F1 car

5000 times!!!! that's 15,000 laps!!!!!!! 6 minutes per race +/- 30,000 minutes to get it!!! round 1 track!

seriously bad. Buy it, get a save game from the PS3 forums and then you'll enjoy it.

As the title says this is almost perfect,graphics realism is astonoshing as is gameplay just bit limited on track selection,,cant wait for the finished product!! ;0D

brillient game graphics are great and the drive is perfect you get gt tv were you can get topgear videos and you can play online the more realilstic driveing game ever what else would you ever want exsept the full version total ace and the full game comes out in 2009 so if you play now you will be able to domanat in the full version

this game is really good get it

the only reason i rated it 4 star was because you dont get pit stops until class a.

I have always loved the Playstation Gran Turismo games, and this Prologue edition of GT5 is no exception. If you love cars and driving, you will love this. It is by far and away the most realistic console racer you will find - bar none (I also have Forza 2 on the 360). All of the cars behave differently, and I would say having driven some of them in real-life, that they are pretty spot on handling-wise. Only criticisms are that you soon run out of tracks (or cash for the more exotic cars!), but they are so detailed it barely matters. Also, if you DO prefer your racers to have more of an arcade feel, then you may not get on with this. So to sum up... just get this game!
