Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Scores 39/40 on Famitsu Review

Ameer | December 12, 2007 | Reviews | Playstation 3 
Polyphony's teaser game Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to be released today, and Famitsu has revealed it's review scores. For those unfamiliar with the Famitsu scoring system, the total score is out of 40 and the game is reviewed by a panel of 4 people on a scale of 1-10. Needless to say, 39/40 is an incredible score for a game which is only a taste of what's to come. Only six games have scored perfect 40s from Famitsu, and Prologue joins the 16 other games to have received 39.
Famitsu - the Japanese Magazine that eclipses the rest, the one we’re all waiting to hear from. They have now reviewed Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Playstation 3, and it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that it eclipses all other racing games around it.

Famitsu scored Forza 2 36/40 and PGR4 33/40 - both extremely respectable scores. They have, however, scored GT5 Prologue 39/40 - that is 10, 10, 9 and 10, as we have been informed by a reliable source.

Those are some pretty glowing scores right there, for a game that is practically only a taster of the full Gran Turismo 5. I expect they’re holding back that fourth perfect score for the arrival of Polyphony Digital’s full flung beast.

An incredible looking game running at 1080p 60fps, with the best car models you have ever seen and with an updated physics model to make it the most realistic driving simulator ever. Polyphony Digital are gods.

    You people do realise that the site that gave this score is actually the same site that gave the fake news on Star Ocean 4 ??
    The article was called " Weekly Fake Famitsu News " ^^ Famitsu haven't even reviewed GT5: Prolouge yet ...
