Platform: PS3
Genre: Racing
Release Date: April 17
The world's most realistic racer screeches back onto the track in this PS3 exclusive. Delivering stunning 1080p HD visuals, robust car-tuning options, tons of solo events and online racing for up to 16 players, it's the most luxurious ride on the road.
Why It's Hot: For starters, it's Gran Turismo. Sony's racing game franchise is one of the biggest ever, with a mere eight releases having sold in excess of 45 million units worldwide. It's been over three years since Gran Turismo 4 came out; PS3 owners and racing aficionados alike are dying to see what kind of mileage ace developer Polyphony Digital can get out of the new console. We bet A LOT.
Why It's Not: For starters, it's Gran Turismo Prologue, a pared-down version featuring only 60 cars and six tracks intended to whet your appetite for the forthcoming full-fledged PS3 monster Gran Turismo 5 (no release date yet). That's sort of like buying the engine for a new car before they sell you the wheels and body.
