Game - Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
Genre - Driving Simulator
Platform - Playstation 3 (exclusive)
The original Playstation system had a slew of games that sold phenomenally well. Who can forget the success of games like Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, or Crash Bandicoot? But for all the success of those titles, there was only one game that holds the crown as the best-selling game for the Playstation. That game was Gran Turismo. I logged many an hour working on the upgrades to my garage, trying to shave hundredths of seconds off of my posted times. And since the success of that initial offerring, the GT franchise has continued to morph, to upgrade, and to grow; adding more manufacturers, more cars, more tracks, and more realism.
The world of next-gen gaming got its first taste of this hugely-succesful franchise with the release of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Originally announced at E3 2007, Sony and Polyphony Digital promised to deliver a Blu-ray powered driving experience that was going to be unparalleled. And I can tell you, although I had some minor issues with this title, Gran Turismo is back and better than ever.
