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.
