Astonishing Game. What's With The Fuss? You Pay What You Get.

User Rating: 8 | Gran Turismo 5 Prologue PS3
After I tried out the Gran Turismo HD Concept demo, i decided to get this game and tried it out.

Let's start with the basics. About 70 decent cars including tuned and stock cars, 6 playable racing tracks and a limited number of soundtracks. Not bad for a prologue game which is a demo!

The graphics is the thing i'm astonished about 1080p on a 50 inch flat screen. The cars are nicely detailed and well laid and finally they have the "in car" view. The physics is very good compared to Gran Turismo 4. Going on high speeds in the GT-R with the in car view was quite breathtaking. Also they have fairly new and the classic cars that i loved. From Ferraris to the new GT-R.

The AI was the only thing i was concerned about but it has improved on this game. The AI doesn't seem to follow each other going in the same path everytime. Also the penalty system is some thing that was quite annoying for me but it can be easily managed.

Finally this game is at a fairly reasonable price of $40 CDN. I didn't get the fuss about this game. You pay what you get. From the childish reviews I've seen here comparing Forza 2 to this game is quite arrogant seeing that Forza 2 has more "features" to this game. This is a demo version of this game. This is more to offer from Sony. So thumbs up to Sony for reviving this game.
