they gave it 39/40...

lol, this is a demo... apparently the most expensive demo known to man or beast.
so i fugured that because it was a demo it wouldnt get a damn near perfect from Famitsu... but it did.

here is a write up from Ripten

http://www.ripten.com/2007/12/11/fam...prologue-3940/

and for those who cant be arsed, here is what they wrote.....

"Famitsu - the Japanese Magazine that eclipses the rest, the one we’re all waiting to hear from. They have now reviewed Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Playstation 3, and it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that it eclipses all other racing games around it.
Famitsu scored Forza 2 36/40 and PGR4 33/40 - both extremely respectable scores. They have, however, scored GT5 Prologue 39/40 - that is 10, 10, 9 and 10.

That is some pretty glowing scores right there, for a game that is practically only a taster of the full Gran Turismo 5. I expect they’re holding back that fourth perfect score for the arrival of Polyphony Digital’s full flung beast.

An incredible looking game running at 1080p 60fps, with the best car models you have ever seen and with an updated physics model to make it the most realistic driving simulator ever. Polyphony Digital are Gods.

Oh and here’s a nice mention of damage modeling being in the game - something which has been missing from the series. Here PSU.com suggest that car damage is in the game, though we’ve yet to see it:

Many fans of the series may also be pleased to learn that damage modelling has finally been implemented with Prologue. On the whole, the damage effects are quite realistic and we can safely say that the days of the Gran Turismo series being called a ‘bumper car simulator’ are over.

The arrival of the London track is something else, which will see you passing through Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. It looks incredible and is such a good addition to the series."

Arnold's getting this; his review will go up as well. I imagine it won't be any less glowing.

Only the US keep calling it a demo, to the rest of the world its a budget title(the other prologues were, don't know how much this one will cost) thats why they have reviewed it like any other game, its a taste of things to come yes, but how many demos come with 5 tracks, 37 cars and online, oh and you have to pay for it.
