    5 of 5 Great Game Monday, October 13, 2008
    A Gamer from Newnan, GA  

    This game was anticipated from when rumors started going around on the internet and even still to those that are new to the gaming of the next generation (which is now of course). Great graphics and sounds. Of course since it is a prologue, so its not going to have as many cars or tracks, but even so this is still a great game to own.

    A Gamer from Norcross GA  
    Everyone knows that is not a full version. Please stop the complaining It definitely worth every bucks I spent on this games. The online play (Expert level) is so exciting.

    5 of 5 A LOT OF GAME FOR A PROLOGUE Thursday, May 08, 2008
    A Gamer from Sunrise, Florida  
    Get the drop on everyone waiting to purchase the FULL version in the fall. They have really stepped everything up all the way around. Especially love the different locales around the world that becomes your featured garage. Online gameplay is very exciting as well.

    2 of 5 A Big disappointment Thursday, May 08, 2008
    A Gamer from Nashville, TN  
    This was by far the worst Gran Turismo to date. They didn't put any work into the game. The most disappointing thing with the game is that you can not upgrade your car on this game.

    5 of 5 Worth Every Penny Wednesday, May 07, 2008
    The Wolfster from Berkeley, CA  
    I just wanted to say that in the "expert review" it states that the AI isn't very smart, but thats because in this prologue version of the full game, the event challenges aren't meant to be an excruciating challenge. When one unlocks the S class events, then the game takes on a whole new difficulty. Also, keep in mind, that in arcade mode, you can change the AI's difficulty. By default, its always lower than the top speed of your car, but you can raise it to 100, which, in turn, will cause the AI to race to its full potential.

    5 of 5 Ps3 freezes Friday, April 25, 2008
    A Gamer from santa clara, ca  
    I am not sure if it's me or anyone else is also encountering the same issue. I am not able to play this game on Ps3 as it freezes the system. I have the latest update and everything. It is like same thing like when computer hangs.

    5 of 5 WOW Tuesday, April 22, 2008
    A Gamer from aliso viejo, ca  
    WOW is all you can say when you first see and play this game. The 1080p graphics are drop dead gorgeous. The detail that went into making this game are unparalleled. You can play variations of 5 tracks with dozens of cars. Tons of fun. The online play works really well, too. This is by far the best driving simulator ever made. Be sure to get the physical game versus downloading. You get additional videos with the DVD version. Be sure to buy a driving wheel, though. Playing this game with the standard controller is nearly impossible. I bought the Logitech Driving Force GT (official GT5 wheel) and it's perfect. I can't recommend this game enough. It's the reason I bought a PS3.

    4 of 5 Great Simulation, Few Choices Friday, April 18, 2008
    A Gamer from Beavercreek, OH  
    No Porsche? No Lamborghini? :| It's a great simulator but older versions had a lot more variety. Plus, it's agonizing that you have to purchase shoddy cars like Daihatsu's to get to the next class of races. I still have to go online, but you can get done with all regular races within a few days (hours for some of you cracks out there)...
