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)
|
|
| 8.0 | Presentation
Slick interface and easy to navigate, although there's a little too much to-and fro through menus to get some stuff done. |
| 9.5 | Graphics
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. |
| 8.5 | Sound
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. |
| 8.5 | Gameplay
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. |
| 7.0 | Lasting 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. |
8.3 Impressive | OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average) | |
