what is all this talk about GT5: Prologue being a "prelude" to the real game? is there gonna be another Gran Turismo that's gonna come out soon? and what's with the 7.5 score? I figured this game would get at least a 9.0, considering it IS Gran Turismo and all. how many cars are there in this game, I heard there aren't any toyotas, what's that all about?

theres 70 cars, and 6 tracks.

Think of this game as a beta version of the full game, which will come out in a years time. Its basically a cash in for Polyphony... its a lot of game for $40, but just because the full version will have 10X more content its hard to give this game a higher rating than an 8

Picked it up yesterday, its def worth 40 bucks IMO, the only real downfall i see is the 6 tracks..

But its great fun....

My only concern is when the full version comes out, i havent read much up on it, but i wonder if those who purchased prologue now will have to purchase then entire game for 59, or if they will somehow make an add on.

Maybe he expects release dates to be for actual games. Not for 40$ demos.

The full game will come out later. This only has about 6 tracks and is the first to be played online. So your just paying to be able race aganst others for the first time online i believe.

In an ideal world yes, GT5P owners would get at least $15 off of GT5, but we both know it wont be that way. Im not one of those people who bash GT5P (you have the choice not to buy it), but i still think it shouldve been $30.

Its worth the 40 bucks for me. Great game, everyone complains about there only being 6 tracks but that doesnt bother me at all especially when you have 70 cars to choose from.

nobody can deny this was purely a cash grab by Sony/Polyphony, but I dont critisize people who bought it. If R* released a bare bones version of GTA last year, with maybe only one of the islands, and 1/10 of the content in full game,, i wouldve probably bought it just because

Yamauchi said that you were going to be able to keep the credits, and maybe something more.

It's a little ridiculous how people keep calling GT5P a demo... It's got 70 cars, 6 tracks and an online mode a demo would probably have 1 track 1 to 3 cars and no online. 70 cars is more than same "full" racing games have and who knows they may add more tracks via the PS store down the road.

Think of Gran Turismo 5-Prologue as an appetizer before the main course which is Gran Turismo 5!

It has been classified as a demo by just about everybody including the makers of the game.
