Games Radar: Ferrari Challenge Preview - 'Better Than Prologue'

Games Radar visited Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, to play the latest build of Ferrari Challenge on PS3 and see how close the game is to recreating the Ferrari 430 Challenge experience - yes, by watching real Ferraris tear up the track.

So here they bring you their latest impressions of the game, some lovely Ferrari girls to admire, pictures of the real-life Challenge cars and a video interview with System 3's CEO, Mark Cale, who explains why he feels Ferrari Challenge is better than Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Something for everyone, then.

So, the CEO of the company making the game says "better than Prologue"?

Well, he is unbiased, so he must be right.

I hope gt5 has the same quality of weather effects if not better. It looked well impressive compared to pgr4's weather.

I'm not quite sure what he's talking about with GT's AI. It seems pretty aggressive to me. The cars will spin you around if you not careful. It's happened to me on several occasions.

I'm not sure what he's talking about at all...

I wonder if he knows what 1080p actually is...

"On 1080pull - er P, you can get a much higher resolution."

WOW O RLY? NO WAI!

And the paintjob thing is nothing new...Forza 2 anyone?

But yeah, I'd still buy it.

7.2 - And the paintjob thing is nothing new...Forza 2 anyone?

nope, in fact the paint job wasn't something new in forza 2, there was a N64 game that has that feature named Top gear rally

"Plus, gamers can repaint their cars in a cute little paintshop area that will surely be copied in other games."

lol there's nothing new under the sun

7.3 - Forza 2 doesnt run at 1080P

neither does it look as realistic as FC

Please dont compare an inferior game with GT5P/FC which runs at 1080P native

It actually looks pretty decent, and at least the game will run in 1080p. Definitely for Ferrari fans. And the rain effects at the end of the video does look pretty impressive.

It can not compare to GT. Very few games can be compared to GT but thats not saying that this is garbage. I`ll give it a rent and if it plays decent enough i`ll pick it up.

it looks like a decent game, but i still don't think it will compare to gran turismo 5. Ferrari is still a poor mans (or should I say lower class rich mans) lamborghini. If it weren't for some of their newer models like the enzo, All they're cars would be ugly. Regardless, I still want the game

15 - I'm definately getting this one...

If the reviews are 8 and above on average.

But i have to say, this game cannot be compared to GT5P. It's not a simulation. And it cant be compared to NFS either, cos it's not arcade gameplay.

I'd say this is comparable to PGR though. :)

Looks PGR too me [except the 1080p and F cars.] maybe a bit better. but Just Ferrari it will get boring quick.

More features - Cool!
Lower Quality per/feature - Not cool!

I rather have Quality over Quantity.

Although, i do like there environment Texturing much better. (grass/dirt)

He says it "wipes the floor with Forza 2". Don't hate one me, just read the article and see what the developer says. PS3 has this hot exclusive coming in May for Europe I think.
