Closing Comments
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, really, is the biggest demo you'll ever play. There honestly is more to do here than in many full-price titles, despite the fact it's merely a teaser. It's barn-stormingly beautiful and feels sublime, and even though the online racing seems like a bit of a dud, we're sure Polyphony can update and improve it. Honestly, GT die-hards (and there are millions of them) should lap this up.

IGN AU Ratings for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)
 

 

Rating

Description
out of 10
8.0Presentation
Slick interface and easy to navigate, although there's a little too much to-and fro through menus to get some stuff done.
9.5Graphics
We don't really have qualms saying GT5 Prologue is the best looking racing sim we've ever laid eyes on. Super crispy car models, hyper-detailed interiors... it's gorgeous.
8.5Sound
The menu music is typically Gran Turismo - a dire concoction of splashy cymbals and Casio keyboards, and the race tunes are forgettable. But the engine notes? Best in the business.
8.5Gameplay
Two levels of handling physics (standard and professional) plus a slate of driving aids makes GT5 as challenging as you want it to be. It's a finesse racer. Very civilised.
7.0Lasting Appeal
You'll tire of the tracks before you tire of the cars, but there is more here to do than in many full-priced games. Should keep you busy for many hours, and will definitely entertain GT devotees.
