In an effort to bridge the gap of time between the release of 2005’s critically lauded PS2 racing sim Gran Turismo 4 and the upcoming Gran Turismo 5, Sony is set to release a preview edition, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, in stores this week in North America. Prologue earned top sales upon its release in Japan in December, and currently leads the UK’s weekly multiplatform bestseller charts at Amazon.co.uk.
Though few question that Prologue will become just as big of a sales success in North America upon its release this week, many have expressed reservations about paying an asking price of $39.99 for what amounts to a robust demo disc. Critics for the most part feel that the title is a worthwhile investment for racing fans, however, scoring Prologue at an average of 81 out of 100.
Editors Note: This game is for dad’s rather than kids - due to the level of difficulty. However “I bought it for the kids” is always a great excuse to get yourself a new video game.
Take a look at some screenshots.
