Let's put it this way, GT5p is worth every penny
If your a racer, someone who loves racing games then it's a 9.5, if your just a gamer then it's a 9.0 Either way, it's worth every penny for one simple reason.

There is no other racing game that is this real. This is what it feels like to go down the road at a hundred and fifty five miles per hour in a Ferrari 430. So in case you where wondering this is how it feels.

The game is amazing in that aspect, it starts off slow as it should so you build a great appreciation for what is to come. The fast cars, the Corvette ZO6 (one of my fav's) The Ferrari 599, 430 when you finally get to those cars you start to see a different game. Speed is done so well here you can tell a Ferrari from a Ford focus. Everything is so real.

I turned off Traction control to let it get a little lose in turns and the car drove so different I was amazed at how well that is captured in a video game. I mean in real life you can't take turns like that with the traction control off because you would kill your self.

So to get that down just shows the level of detail. GT5p is what a racing game is all about, and you won't find a better one. Running at 1080p on a plasma takes the breath away. It's unreal.

Who can say they know of a racing game with better graphics, there is none.

As a racing game fan I must say to not have this in the collection of PS3 games would be a serious mistake. I Love the in-car view, it really makes a game that was already amazing, something truly sweet. And brings with it a hell of a lot of replay value. Going on tracks backwards.. So sweet, going backwards on a track while using in-car view.. Priceless.

The more time I spend trying to squeeze a second off my best time the more I fall in-love with the game. (This will help make the long waiting time for GT5 (summer of 2009) which would be unbearable with out this Prologue -so enjoy this game.)

It's worth every penny, and there is no way you would regret buying this one.

Rating Comments
9.7 Graphics
When you think of how amazing GT5p looks, its hard to see a way they could have made it look better. The thing is unreal.
9.5 Sound
Someone said the sound is not that good, are you kidding me. The corvette sounds so sweet I keep taking the turns to fast just to hear the engine roar and make the wheels grip the road while turning. It's unreal. (get yourself a sound system, because if this doesn't sound good you can't hear)
9.8 Gameplay
Listen, anytime you can go back to a game and play again and again learning new stuff about how the car performs, or how to better take a track. The Gameplay has to be on point.
9.5 Fun Factor
If your a racer it's all you will do. If your just a gamer then it's enough fun to warrant the purchase.
8.5 Online
Online could use some work. But to be fair I wasn't on at a peak time. And my connection has been acting up lately. So it might have just been my router.
9.4
Overall
(out of 10 / not an average)

lol I like the if you're just a gamer it's a 9.0 ^^ yup I agree

But hey don't forget the Cooper S! That was the first one I bought ;)
along with the fact that they made it noob friendly well unless you know nothing about cars then getting your first car would of been bad for a good amount of people.

The after race menu needs to change really. Why have retry your first option? It should just bring you to the main menu after a race and I wish the soundtracks started playing a little sooner in a race.

1.1 - Indeed very good points...
yeah they should fix that menu system, but that is really minor. The cooper S.. hmmm haven't checked that one out yet. I started with the ford focus which really wasn't a bad first car. But yeah very good points. Maybe they will fix the menu in the final game.

oh yeah they are only minor complaints really. Yeah the Cooper S is a fun one but only tops out at 137 and is somewhat slow accelerate but handles well nice first purchase for me at least (I just like the car in real life I had too lol)

Very well put. I agree if your a racing fan then this game is creeping up towards a 10. People who don't enjoy racing games just can't totally see why its just so great. As a fan of these great cars this game hits me right where I'm most venerable so I just love it

2.1 - Oh yes..
As a racing fan this was a must buy for me, and hell yea' it's creeping up to a 10, the more I play the higher I feel the rating should be. I guess like a fine wine, the game gets better with time.

The game is so real, it's something you don't notice right away but the more you play the more you begin to appreciate it's detail. I don't own a Corvette ZO6 but after GT5p I feel like I know exactly how it drives. I even love the heads up display -speed read out. ...Priceless
