While there was a tendency to slip at almost any speed in Gran Turismo 3, cars feel heavier and more satisfying to control in Prologue. Improvements have been made to the game’s physics system. Crowds of sprites cheer players from the crowd, making each track feel alive. One of the tracks included in Prologue is Grand Canyon, and it might just be one of the most awe-inspiring tracks we’ve seen in the franchise.

Gran Turismo 4 Prologue continues this tradition with its impressive vehicle models and breathtaking race tracks. Each Gran Turismo game is a graphics powerhouse, putting consoles to the test. Polyphony Digital has proved time and time again their absolute mastery over Sony’s hardware. Here’s hoping that the option becomes available in the full version of the game. Considering that this is a deep racing sim, powerful mechanic customization is a must. However, there’s one setting that seems missing from the show, and that is the in-depth mechanics and customization that we saw in the first Gran Turismo titles. Navigating through the menus is now more intuitive than in previous entries – a much-needed improvement, considering the vast amount of visual and recording options available to players.

For a realistic driving sim, that’s a healthy collection of vehicles and tracks, especially considering that games like Need for Speed Underground have just 20 cars to choose from. With 48 cars and 5 race tracks, this “prologue” could be a novel of its own. Sure, magazine articles and trailers can give players a taste of what your game has to offer, but what Polyphony Digital has done with Gran Turismo 4 Prologue might be the most impressive demo we’ve ever seen. In the game industry, distributing a demo is a surefire way to build hype among fans. There’s a surprising amount of things to see and do in this demonstration, including a closer look at the high-quality car models and a taste of the full game’s excellent Driving School. While the game might be just an appetizer for the full meal that is Gran Turismo 4, don’t discard Prologue just yet. This sneak peek at the full Gran Turismo experience is perfect for new fans who want to get a taste of what racing in this game is like. An exciting glance at what’s to come in the future of one of the very best racing sims available, Gran Turismo 4 Prologue is much more than a simple demo.
