Great graphics, same driving experience

I used to own one of the GT for Playstation 2. And I think that while the graphics are mind-blowing, the driving experience has not changed at all.

Some reviews already point out that the game is pretty much the same as its predecessors, but with a lot more of eye candy. I agree. So don't expect car damage, and any other 'game immersion' features from other less graphical games.

Good game for starting your collection for your Playstation 3. Don't pay more than $20 for it though.

Great game for all family!

I thought that video games was something for kids and teenagers. I found out I was wrong with Playstation 3 and this game. The virtual reality is awesome and the game is very easy to use.

Pretty good, but less engaging than previous versions

I've played all versions of Gran Turismo and have very much enjoyed the improvements as the new versions came out. I miss being able to upgrade and customise each rides, What I also miss are the CARS! where are all the Toyotas? cars from the 80s and the 90s???????

Don't be fooled, it IS just a demo!

4 star average and a low price gold box deal usually equal a done deal for me. I bought this game the last time they had it on sale, and I feel like I was ripped off.

The name made me a bit weary with "Prologue" but who really releases demos at full game price? I bought it thinking it would be a new, fun installment in the series with all of the other unlockable content and adjustability, but it is not!

You can't switch from first person mode.
You do not have even half the cars available.
There are only a few tracks.
The medal ceremony music is atrocious, and you cannot skip it.
The load times between garage, dealership, and events are annoying.

Don't buy it unless you are a collector and need this ridiculous fraction of a game.

No Tweaking it's Arcade Mode only!

I bought this game with intentions of having an awesome time with it. Gran Turismo is fun mainly for the reason that you can upgrade your cars with different parts and such. This game allows you to do nothing but buy new cars. No tweaks to cars no changing cars up at all. To me this game is totally worthless. I gave it 3 stars because the graphics are outstanding but... Gran Turismo to me is swapping turbos/engines/tires/suspensions. This allows none of that. I wish i would have just waited for the full game.

Like paying to be a Beta tester

This won't shock anyone, but GT Prologue is gorgeous. The game looks great. No damage though, which is unforgivable given the power of the hardware. It gives the game a sterile feel compared to most every other modern racing game.

The AI is as good as previous versions of GT, in other words, it's horrendous. Want to win? Bump your way to the finish line....it's becoming the series trademark. Again, this is unforgivable.

Online options are sparse and the net code is poor. Online is buggy to the point of being broken, which is shocking, since the closest competiton to this game (Forza) has released two iterations since GT4 that each offered creative new additions to expand the online modes.

The Physics feel the same as GT3 & 4. Like the past games and Forza, this isn't the most true life simulation. The best simulation of driving I've seen is still Sega's Ferrari F355 Challenge. Still, most people don't want that...too much realism can be frustrating, and GT:P offers a decent balance here.

IMO, Prologue is another word for Beta. This is $40 demo, and just isn't worth the price. There are better options.

Good game, cant wait for release

The game overall is what you would have come to expect from GT, however, not enough cars and the menu system seems sluggish if not downright irritating.

No upgrade parts.

I was refusing to pay for a demo but I was dying without a good racing game for my PS3 and Amazon had deal going where you got a $15 gift certificate if you bought it so I finally bent over at the effective $25 price tag. I know this is just a demo but not being able to buy upgrade parts kind of sucks. Other than the game is pretty awesome. Graphics are great as is the driving experience.

Lots of fun, great bargain

This is a really fun game. I've been playing the GT series since its inception on the psone. I especially love the cockpit view. I think that this game appeals to a lot of people because it is easy to pick up. My "casual gamer" (read: almost never plays videogames) wife would even power up the ps3 to play. I recommend this game to everyone.

Great graphics and play!
