Ok. Lets begin by...well, let just get right to it. Ridge Racer. Thats how this game feels to me.
I played Forza2 for about 8 months before it got old on me, but the way this is going probably 2 at most for prologue.
Its not just the lack of damage (which is a huge negative in my opinion), its the total feel of the game. Driving along and bumping into another driver or hitting a wall causes no driving change. The biggest thing is running off the track, getting in the grass. This causes you to slow down and spin. Thats it, spinning in the grass. Thats it.
However, as stated by the developer, the car detail is excellent. But, when I buy a racing game, being able to see highly detailed body panels is not as great as feeling like you are racing. Again, truley beautiful game. And the music between the loads is outstanding.
The demo, yes, I said it...and they should be ashamed for charging for it...could have just released over the PSN with 3 cars, two tracks, and waited to deliver a full finished product. My feeling is that this was released to create revenue for finishing this already outdated game. Sony should at least allow a cheap DL of the finished product to all the people who financed the completion of the game.
Pros: Music, detail.
Cons: Not finished (Damage, ability to practice, qualify, stats, etc.)
Finally, I have been playing the normal controller, maybe playing this game with a wheel would make all the difference. No, probably not. It would probably still feel like a simulator trying to be an arcade game or a arcade game trying to be a simulator. Hmmmmm....that is the question.

The graphics are simply unbelievable. I fooled a few people into believing the demo was a real race. The courses, cars and gameplay is also pretty good. If this is indication of things to come with the full version, I cannot wait.

Please ignore the reviews touting this as an incomplete game. They were clearly expecting something other than what the title promised, a Prologue. If you are a serious Gran Turismo or car enthusiast like myself and own a PS3, you are doing yourself a great disservice by not purchasing this game. The graphics are astounding, there is a healthy choice of cars (70+) and online play works very well. In fall, crash damage and enhanced online gameplay will be added via online update, so Polyphony is not leaving this game alone until the full release of Gran Turismo 5.
While the game still feels like GT of old, the new in-cockpit view adds genuine realism and excitement to the gameplay. Also ignore others here as they assert that the driving dynamics are the same as all previous GT games: this is blatantly fallacious. In "professional" physics mode, handling characteristics are far more realistic than ever before. You can genuinely feel body roll, push (understeer), mid-corner rotation and squats and dives from acceleration/deceleration. Each car feels immensely different and astonishingly organic.
Again, if you are have been a fan of the GT series, do not wait until the full game arrives and pick this one up immediately. If you never liked GT, big surprise, you won't like this iteration either. Also, all of your progress (bought/won cars, money, etc.) will be carried over to the full game as well. Anyone expecting more than a "prologue" had their expectations set too high. Yes, the full game will obviously be more comprehensive, but with promised online updates and by far the best driving dynamics ever created for a racing game, Gran Turismo Prologue is easily worth $40.

The graphics are great but the interaction with games is poor, also, I've been trying to set the time and date but is impossible.

The game is the real driving simulator. The car's dash interiors are great. The overall resolution in the game is excellent. The braking is as is in the real drive. I am goint to buy the gt3 wheel to play it. Great customization. I mean just buy it. Just do not forget that the multiplayer option does not allow you to play with your friens; it does not let you to create parties or private races.
