Flawed

User Rating: 8 | Gran Turismo 5 Prologue PS3
Hmm this is a difficult one and to be fair i've only played a few hours of it since i received it last night but theres definitely some issues.

-First the online update has failed on me about 5 times, it tends to get to around 1/4 the way through then i get an error message.
-Theres some pretty blad slow down in areas, you wont notice this at first in the slower cars but once i got the lotus elise (the newer 111r? version) i noticed it was pretty severe when racing on the London/Swiss alps tracks, particularly when taking corners close to other cars.
-Screen tearing...not such a big issue at least not up to now
-Some races appear to be impossible with certain assist settings, for example c-8 challenge appear to be literally impossible if you have traction control on/around the default setting of 5. This is a bit ridiculous as a lot of players will play with the assists on and it means they will literally keep struggling trying to figure out why they cant win the race.
-Difficulty is all over the show, the main event races are really easy, the time trials are extremely difficult to get gold (and again impossible with certain assists on) and the arcade mode appears to be pretty difficult too.

I wont cover the good stuff, you can read that elsewhere. Its certainly not awful but theres a lot of flaws they need to iron out.
