Plus the fact that I can drive with reckless abandonment is a bonus. Racing games seem to take two different paths, arcade or simulation. Sure, there are those few that try to ride the line in between, but most fall into one category or the other. There have been games that have come and gone in an effort to make an impression on racing fans. Anyone who has been playing racing games for sometime knows that there is one series on the Playstation that has yet to be touched by anyone, and that series is Gran Turismo.
Since its inception 10 years ago, Gran Turismo has always been touted as a 'driving simulator' which places the emphasis on realistic driving and physics. The series has seen two chapters on each of Sony's previous consoles, the PSone and PS2. The latest chapter, the fifth in the series, is still in development for the PS3, however Sony has made the kind decision to pay homage to their fans and release a taste of what is to come. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is that taste. Many pundits believe that this is just a demo of the game but I would have to disagree. I have had the chance to play the game and although it is only a fraction of what the full version of GT5 will be, the content on the disc really does make for a full game and provides quite a bit of gaming for those who decide to pick it up."
