We’ve heard the complaints that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is nothing more than a glorified demo; a half-assed version of a game that was lacking in more areas than GT fans would like for me to recount here. The $40 price tag only added salt to the wounds.
But it turns out the North American release of the game is going to see a number of features that the Japanese release didn’t, including drift mode, new events, 2-player split-screen, and – most importantly – car tuning.
The simple addition of car tuning goes a long way to making that $40 seem a lot more doable, and now Gran Turismo fans shouldn’t have too much of a qualm with picking the game up next month from retail stores or the PlayStation Network. Even as somehow who isn’t a diehard sim racing fan, I think these new features make the game something I’ll definitely be purchasing.
PS3 Fanboy also has a complete listing of all the cars and tracks you can expect to see in Prologue. Keep your fingers crossed that your favorite car made it into the list; I know my V12 Vanquish is nowhere to be seen.
