Abstract: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is the first Gran Turismo game I've ever actually wanted to get. I see now why so many people use the Gran Turismo series as the bar with which to judge every other console racing game. I mean, Project Gotham Racing 4, Forza Mot...

GT5 Prologue shows the series striding forward in all the right directions, with superb visuals, excellent vehicle physics and a decent online mode. Only two grumbles: damage modelling remains missing, while the AI still isn't quite competitive enough....
Abstract: On the PlayStation (long before it became the PSone) Gran Turismo was a revelation. Rather than approximating a driving experience a la arcade centric games like Ridge Racer or even TOCA, it unblinkingly stared into the face of the motorsport industry ...
