Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon 2.0GT specB (2003).You start the game off with 12 selectable cars, including: As with the Gran Turismo game proper, races are followed by replays that can be saved to your memory card for future viewing in a replay theater. New York, Fuji Speedway and Tsukuba can be raced on with five opponents or by yourself, with the other two courses being solo affairs at this point. You can race through five courses, including Tsukuba Circuit, New York, Grand Canyon, Fuji Speedway and Citta di Aria, all of which are available from the start. Arcade Mode is, as the name would suggest, a quick race mode. Selectable from the start of this Gran Turismo 4 sampler are two modes, School Mode and Arcade Mode. A demo for something that big ought to be being pretty darn vivid.

On the other hand, the full version of the game, due for Japanese release in them Summer of 2004, promises 500 cars, 50 courses and the some of the finest graphics and physics yet seen in the racing genre. The instruction manual isn't even a booklet - it's a foldout pamphlet. On the one hand, GT4 Prologue is nothing more than a mere demo of a larger game. This takes a bit of getting used to at first and soft hands are the name of the game - with too much steering input, some cars simply can’t hold on and slide helplessly into the crash barriers.We feel that with those words, "Compact but vivid," Polyphony Digital has described Prologue better than we ever could. The second advantage is that this is the first game to fully support the Driving Force Pro steering wheel, with its full 900-degree wheel rotation.

This allows you to amass both points and, more importantly, cars - both of which will be rewarded with a head start for Gran Turismo 4 via your memory card. Depending on your skill, you’ll be awarded gold, silver or bronze, some points and the car you took the test in. In each of the 46 tests you are given expert advice from Vicki Butler-Henderson of 5th Gear fame, and then given the opportunity to reproduce the lesson for yourself. The first and most obvious is the head start it will give you for GT 4.Īs well as the arcade mode, there is a driving school, and this is really what the game is based around.
