Since the ps3 I bought recently was also bought from gamestop I feel this is valid I had this game for under a month and played it like 4 times and I already can't play the event mode (meaning I can't unlock cars)

This a horrid racing game and serves as the only disappointment in the series. while the cars are nice, the game play is just plain boring and exudes little excitement during the races.

For what u do in the game is easy and at certain times . Most people like to run around on the car many times. In this game it gives u many penalty for what u do . To me the game is good on experience gamers.

When i bought this game, i thought is was the real GT5 but it wasn't. I played it and was amazed on how it was a short demo for what the real GT5 was going to look like. The Cars and tracks were good too.

its ok but their is no online we can waite for the new gt5 so this game is more cooler then gt5 prol

There is no tuning or customizing your cars and that is just not acceptable.

Good but tooooo short game, if I knew it first I wouldnt bought it. Very good graphics and its close reality but thats all

yeah so i really got punk'd into buying this when it came out overall the graphics are good but we can all wait for GT5 to come out.

First, I just want to say this game is extremely realistic. Detail is the name of the game. You can tell that Sony put a lot of work into this game. Okay, first the challenge is very hard; I don't know if I stink at this game, or it is how hard the tracks are. Next, the controls are just like any other racing game besides Need For Speed. For GT you simply just hold onto the X button. Third, the graphics are out of this world amazing. The cars look so real it is like you are standing in front of them. Also, the detail is amazing. The only bad part of the graphics, are the fans. They do not shine out in this game. Fourth, the interface is alright, although it could be better. Next the sound is great. For example, if you crash into something the sound will be just like you got in a car crash. Now the track variety ,is okay. There are not many tracks, but they have unbelievable detail again. Seventh, the vehicle customization is very good. Lastly, the vehicle variety is horrible. There are a little amount of cars and for each brand of cars, there is only 2 cars. Anyway, this game is extremely good, and I would suggest that you buy it. Also, look at the new Gran Turismo; it looks even better than this.

I’ve been reading some of the reviews for this particular product, and have noticed that some people have been tearing down Gran Turismo 5 Prologue based off of several factors; so I decided to write a review that should help some of those questionable people out there. To begin, one must understand that this isn’t the full game that the Gran Turismo team is working on, but rather it should be treated something more like a teaser, showcasing a variety of awesome qualities that will be expanded and pounded out to perfection in the pending Gran Turismo 5 release (which I’ve heard was in the fourth quarter; December twenty-ninth, though I’ve no way of knowing if this is true). What Gran Turismo has always done is give a good variety (though this is only a showcase type, the variety isn’t as vast) and also give you astounding beauty of the courses, cars, and other minor details generally over-looked. The tuning features have also been amplified to now include drift settings, so for those wishing to bridge this gap, tweak your car to match those conditions. Like most of the franchise, you’re given a very small amount of money and sent out to buy a car before beginning racing; unfortunately, there are only forty different events (the challenge is pretty high in the later events), so the game can be pretty short. This is the gameplay, but in actuality it’s not. Where the joy and beauty of this game truly shine is the realism of driving the cars; each is different and now the different quirks are more noticeable than any previous title, and from what I’ve seen, any other top racing game to date. Also, the cockpit view is the most accurate and well-designed piece that I’ve seen from any racing title; you get the sense that you’re in the car which they somehow get across through your television screen. For instance, your Ford GT will handle much more different than your Nissan Skyline; trust me, there’s no mistaking it either. For those wishing to “amp up” their game experience, go out and buy yourself a good racing wheel type of controller (if you’re uncertain about what’s out there, I’ve written a review over the Driving Force GT; a fine place to start). Overall, the game’s short due to the nature of the title, but the gameplay is highly enjoyable due to the realism and the focused priority of displaying different personalities of each car on the tracks given to you. Satisfactory, and preferably, I’d rather have this sitting in my archive than Dirt, Grid, or Need for Speed Undercover. Yes, despite it being short, the racing aspect is just that great.
