bloody amazing thats what it is!
I cant get over it how really it is, GT4 was amazing but this is just at a whole new level!

brought the F430 on it yesterday

I finally got round to buying an HDMI cable during the week, having been a bit sceptical about how much difference it would really make - OH MY GOD!! It's absolutely staggering! Prologue looked incredible before, it's mindblowing now! Polyphony really do need to get the online thing sorted out tho. It is incredibly frustrating driving 1 and a half perfect laps only to be punted up the arse by someone using you as a brake.

Other than that - 71 cars, 6 tracks (each with 2 varients) for £25? Can't be bad!!

It's a good game for sure, but it can get a little frustrating at times. Why cannot you simply select a car, and go for a drive in acarde mode? You have to buy cars.

I hope it isn't like that for the actual GT5, because on all previous GT games you could just go for a spin in a big selection of cars. I liked that.

During races, I don't like the penalties. I find them hugely frustrating which cannot be turned off. Plus, sometimes when other cars hit you, you get the penalty! This is only a computer game after all, not real life.

The positives:

Graphics are stunning, Polyphony really did well their. Game play is great, especially when your in a good car like the Ferrari F430. What a noise, and what fantastic handling. Balanced, nimble and precise. Quite twitchy on on the entry to corners, but I would expect that in a mid-engined car. Cars like the RX-8 and Evo bore me, too slow.

Nissan GT-R is pretty damn good, so is the Corvette ZO6 - very sideways! BMW M3 is excellent, nice noise and a neat handler.

The AI is still isn't a match for other racing games, such as Froza and Toca - but it's much improved. Your rivals now make mistakes, and get quite aggressive sometimes.

Great game overall, but make those penalties optional and have a good selection of cars to play in acarde mode - seperate from the main career mode and it would be prety much ideal!

Haven't the money yet to even buy a PS3 that damn tax man keeps taking money so don't know when I'll get round to buy GT5 prolouge

Aye, he's a bugger alright. The PS3 is coming down in price all the time, to the point where it's almost affordable. It's still a lot of money but, trust me, it's completely worth it. I don't want to start an argument with any 360 owners but the functionality of the PS3 far outweighs the 360 and I've seen nothing from PGR or Forza to indicate they play or look anywhere as well as Prologue. And it's not even the finished game!!

I agree with you on that the AI is still something to be desired i mean when say to take the racing line and you get the position they whack you up the arse!

But as for your point on the arcade bit Sav im sure that will change once the full game is out, its always been like that on the other GT series and i doubt it will change.

But this game......cant put it down (largley due to the lack of my posting too )

I seem to remember GT4 Prologue had an acarde mode with a selection of cars, it's rather strange why they decided change their minds on this Prologue.

Just brought a Ford GT for a race, what a s**t car.

Which one, the 135i?

I find that every car under about 310 bhp is really boring to drive.

I agree the Ford GT is crap, So heavy The Ferrari F430 is the best i have driven, I want the F2007.

The gameplay and way the car handles is much better than GT4.

I can wait to see the other cars mostly the racing ones and also if the pit stops have changed or if they just keeep the same ones.

Id agree the $30 is the best car so far ive driven on it, unlocked S-class yesterday so i can now tune the cars up

The F2007 will take a while to save up for!

Oh btw way Sav it was the new M3 Coupe....pants!

Ohh I found it good, but now I have the F430 nothing in terms of handling matches.

S-class is a bit more fun, with the tunimg options. Although sometimes you have to peg your car back to get within those performance points.

S class?! I didn't know about this!! I'm still working my way thru A class with a 'Vette Z06! That may well be cos I'm a wee bit rubbish at games, and cos I haven't quite devoted my full attention to it - damn Sky+!!
