Developed By the Best
Polyphony Digital is the developer of the Gran Turismo franchise, led by creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Polyphony Digital is known for pushing the limits of the PlayStation hardware, and with its realistic graphics and physics, Gran Turismo 5: Preface is no different. In addition to receiving CAD data from the auto manufacturers, they have taken thousands of photos to model each car (and track). As an example of the level of detail, a car in Gran Turismo 4 has the same number of polygons as a headlight in Gran Turismo 5: Preface.
Polyphony works even closer with the automotive industry to make sure that the cars look and guide just as they do in real life. In fact, Kazunori Yamauchi designed the on-penetrate computer for the real Nissan GT-R. If you’re lucky to buy one when it releases, you will notice the Polyphony Digital logo when you start your car.

THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER, BUT THE GAME IS SHORTER. BUT STILL GT REALLY TAKES YOU TO THE RACE TRACK
Rating: 5 / 5
I’ve been playing the demo of GT5 Preface since its début this past October around the time of the Tokyo Auto Show. It was very cool because as the unveiled cars in the real world, the game was doing the same thing in the virtual (i.e. GT-R, WRX-STi). The game plays extremely charming. The A.I. is on top of you every step of the way. And with the new cockpit view, full force feed back, & complete surround sound – you fell like you are very much there. GT news updates and GT-TV round out the mix to give very compelling experience. This a certain must buy.

Installation: Installation is simple, pop in the disk, click owing to all the “ok” dialogs, go away for about 30-60 minutes, and the game has installed some indescribable make pleased onto your PS3’s hard guide. The box states the data copied is only about 5.5mb but the length of time GT5 takes to copy no matter what data is being copied makes the data seem more like 250-350mb. I hadn’t checked.
Starting the Game: After installation, the game restarts and on launch day, GT5 downloads another patch that takes about 20 minutes to install. The patch requires a manual restart obscurely indicated with the message “press the PS button to exit game.” Which will stay there until the PS button is pressed.
Playing the Game: After scanning owing to the now Sony standard slider bar of icons the player will find the GT series standard Dealership icon to spend the early 36000 C GT5 starts off. To avoid having to buy 2-3 cars to race in the 15 or so Stage 3 racing series, start with the cappuccino as that will allow for racing in the Sunday cups, the light weights, and the cappuccino exclusive set of races.
All the controls are just like the GT HD demo released so getting up and racing was simple. Unfortunately, getting up and racing is too simple. Just like the GT HD demo, there are not any available customization options for your vehicle until Stage 3 is completed. None, notta. You can’t even change tires in the event garage. The game is GT5 and most buyers have probably played GT3 or 4 or any racing game so there is no need to baby users by locking the advanced garage features in Stage 3. No real reason anyways.
The reviewers list 71 cars, the garage list about 30 cars at 2 cars per dealer cars with only 80-90% that can be bought, and the cars that can’t be bought give no suggestion on how to win the cars. The other 40 or so cars must be hidden until after stage 3. Forza allows users to browse all available cars and visibly states how to unlock the car.
Add the ease of winning, large payouts (GT3 was 3000 C for the Sunday Cup, GT5 gives 5000C or 2500C for finishing), and lack of feel from the race cars (body roll anyone?), and you have a game that lacks any real depth out of the box.
Pros:
- Pretty
- Simple to get into
- Races can be done in 5 minutes or less
- Unique hurt model (reduces engine potential as penalties for collisions)
- It is a Gran Turismo game
- Best racing game for PS3
- Unadorned menu
Cons
- Babies players way too much (no garage in Stage 3, credits seem to simple to get).
- Unique hurt model (penalties for collisions that the player didn’t cause).
- AI has no conundrum running into the player just like the player’s position isn’t calculated into the AI’s guide line.
- AI drives on the line.
- No car pointer/driving feels so arcadish/cars feel like shopping carts

Acho que a jogabilidade poderia ser mais fácil e gostaria também que os carros ficam amassados quando batidos, como o jogo Paradise que é excelente.
