I waited in anticipation for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue to be released as I was a bit fan of the Gran Turismo franchise. Finally the day came when it dropped in the door. Popped it into my PlayStation 3 and away we went. My first impression was:”Wow, can this really be?”. The graphic aspect of the game was immense although with a few glitches but nothing mind blowing. After playing it for a few days it began to get a bit boring with the same tracks again and again.
Although the great number of cars help a bit. A few days after I got this game there was a major update and that sort of refreshed the whole game and gave it new energy. But unfortunately only for a few days and then it became the same experience as before the update. I sort of lost interest.
Graphics
Graphics wise the game is beautiful it has a few glitches on some car models but it’s nothing that ruins the game at all. And just to be clear this is one of the best looking games on the PlayStation 3 hands down.
Audio
The soundtrack is a bit short and has the same menu sounds and menu tracks that gets annoying after a while. The car sounds are great and lifts the game a good margin.
Gameplay
Even though this is praised to be the most realistic car simulator I must say I’m a bit disappointed. The cars float around a bit and it’s hard to tell where you are on the track. This might be helped with a Dual Shock 3 controller but that shouldn’t be necessary.
All in all it’s a good game or mini game if you put it that way.
