Gran Turismo 4 Prologue

Gran Turismo 4 Prologue is not a full game, but a smaller introduction to Gran Turismo 4, released as a separate disc. There is a limited selection of cars and tracks, but the mechanics are fully consistent with the series: honest physics, attention to tire behavior and gradual mastery of controls through driving schools. The main mode is training. The tasks are divided into difficulty levels and test specific skills: braking in a turn, working with a trajectory, overtaking on the inside. Prizes are awarded for successful completion, and once you have enough, you can open new tests and races. In addition to the school, single races are available on several tracks and cars, which already gives an idea of ​​​​what the big Gran Turismo 4. will be like. For fans of the series, this was a way to start training before the release and feel the difference between the cars. Separately, it is worth noting that only a few tracks are presented in the prologue, but each one allows you to understand the difference between cars of different classes. Completing the school opens up races with strong opponents, which already gives an idea of ​​the complexity of the future game. This is a small but significant exhibit for the collection. Today the project is interesting as a historical artifact: it shows how the series approached driver training, and why it is considered the standard of driving simulators. For collectors and GT fans, this is a must have shelf.
