GT5 Prologue reviewed @ Justpressplay.net and recieves an 8.5/10

One of the first games that I actually reviewed was Gran Turismo 4. I don't know if it was because the game was so awe inspiring that I was at a lost for words or if it was just the fact that it was literally the very first review that I actually did, but I only managed to etch out about 400 words for the review. Well that was many years ago and I'm now a different more experienced reviewer.

Gran Turismo is now considered the definition of mainstream racing simulation and Kazunori Yamauchi can be considered the father of the genre. Many companies are vying to steal the crown away from Sony's flagship title, with the closest competitor being Microsoft's own Forza Motorsport franchise. Forza is actually a great title and does many things that Gran Turismo is just getting around to like vehicle damage (not in Prologue but will be in the full version).

Now one thing I've noticed with the press around GT5: Prologue is the fact that people seem to be calling it an expanded demo. Now I'm not going to try to debate this, but I will bring up that this isn't the first time that Polyphony Digital has done this. Both GT3 and GT4 have had their respective "Prologue" editions, but these were never shipped to the United States 8.5/10
