This week's edition of Gamasutra's regular Critical Reception column examines online reaction to Sony's racer sim preview Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which critics describe as "a consistently pleasurable experience."
Though few question that Prologue will become just as big of a sales success in North America upon its release this week, many have expressed reservations about paying an asking price of $39.99 for what amounts to a robust demo disc. Critics for the most part feel that the title is a worthwhile investment for racing fans, however, scoring Prologue at an average of 81 out of 100.
