I was waiting for this game for quite some time and have to say while I love the graphics the whole content was not what I expected. The detail of the tracks and cars are stunning. The game play dynamics of the cars is improved over GT4, but still there are some inaccuracy. An example of this it seems some cars such as the Type R RSX seems to handle and accelerate much better than cars that should be better. I guess you can chalk that up to programer biasis. What disappointed me is the lack of tracks and cars. This game been through so many delays I would have thought it was to get an improved version of GT4, while they did improve graphic and some game dynamics they could not do it for all of the car and tracks in GT4. I still recomend this game for the driving enthusist, but you might be disappointed in the lack of variety.

No damage

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.

the other reviews do a great job, but i didn't see the Ferrari F2007 mentioned. it's a bit of a chore to pass your s class events, but once you do, it's an absolute blast to get to drive the formula one car. as of may 1, you can race against other players online with the formula one cars. great game, can't wait for the full release.

Superb!!!!!

this game is incredible. you can feel the sensation of a real car driving.
you need to drive like on your car, because it is not a game, it is a simulator.
it is diferent than the NFS ( who i am fan )
are diferent sensation of playing.

if you have a logitech G25, you added the topping of the ice cream.
what i mean you need to drive it with this racing wheel to feel what i said.
if you can, buy it both.

bravo for the makers.

Gran 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 out with enough to buy a low powered car to race with other lower powered cars. As you win races you win cash to purchase faster and more exotic race cars. Overall, you experience what it is like to drive at high rates of speed on several famous race courses. It is well worth purchasing before the full version comes out

Gran 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.

Great game

great game. only issue with it is the resale of your cars are less than that of used chewing gum. Game play and graphics are top notch. I play this on a 46" Samsung A550 and it is out of this world. Enjoy!

Gran Turismo is the best racing simulator on the market

This is an amazing sneak peak into what I will inevitably receive once I buy the full game. 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

Gran Turismo 5 - First Impression

From 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 off the capabilities of your PS3 this is the game to buy.

Instead of the Licence tests, you compete in a series of races. If you get a medal (Gold, Silver or Bronze) in a particular class (Class C, B, A and S class), you can advance and compete next higher class of races. After you beat all of the A class races, the tuning options will open up which you will need to adjust to upgrade or downgrade your cars so that they can properly qualify for the S class races.

You can also compete online using the cars you have won or purchased. The online races are also divided by classes and are unlocked by unlocking the classes in offline mode. The offline mode is not perfect, but it is definitely passable. If your bandwidth takes a dive, you will notice that your opponents cars will start "blinking" and the collision can randomly turn off and on, which can cause some potentially nasty spinouts. Still, if you have some decent bandwidth the prize money won from the races can be used to purchase even more cars for your garage. Plus you will have the satisfaction of competing against, and hopefully beating live opponents.

Unfortunately there is no option to race online with a specific friend or group of friends, only random matchups. Overall, however even if this is is just a "prologue" It's a definite must buy for fans of the seies to hold you over until the full release. It is also a solid release for those who bought the PS3 just for the blueray player, since it can render in full 1080p you can really show off the PS3s capabilities.

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
