Gran Turismo 5 prologue combines amazing, crisp graphics, full HD and great car sound effects.
The graphics are simply stunning, however they could be tuned up abit for the people who stand around the tracks when you are racing. As a whole, 9.6/10 for graphics.
As for sound... Well, the soundtrack is good imo, but the songs become repetative quickly. The car sounds are top notch, great work Polyphony! 9/10 for sound.
The game runs in full HD (1080p) at 60fps, and 30fps in replay mode. This is the first console game ever to do this, and they have made such an incredible job at doing this. 16 cars whizzing round the Fuji Speeday at full HD and 60fps! Amazing!
However. A few things have let me down- The online, and the number of events.
Online, 50% of the time is just like cars skating around on ice. The lagg of the other online cars is sometimes immensly bad. I find myself crashing head on into another car that is swaying around like a wasp, and i get penalised for it!? 10 second penalty! Dam right not fair. Another thing i hate about the online is that you often get noobs who think the game is burnout; they try and ram you into a wall or slam you from behind, causing you to hit a barrier, spin out of control and finish last.... Despite them factors, the online is still fun.
As for events, there are 30 in total, which range from overtaking 15 cars in one lap, or simply a race. These events are fun a exciting, but can be completed over a weekend. BUT, for the price of only £20, this game is a bargain imo.
Incredible graphics, great sound, good gameplay, good but sometimes annoying online gameplay. I would deffenetley reccomend this game to anyone who is a fan of the series, or just for people who simply like racing. For the price, it's a bargain, get it now!
