Ferrari's free game is quite unrealistic, and with just one track, three cars and silly damages it's good just as a short break while studying. Volvo's is really a good game, despite pretty limited.

GT5 Prologue. Way way way too short. And not enough of a game to be sold as a game. But still fun.

I'm already done with the C class races, and I started this afternoon.

Major major complaint- I don't want to race a Suzuki Cappuccino or Daihatsu Copen unless I decide to buy one. Please don't make it compulsory.

Apparently, I'm sorta quick around London on my first couple of laps? I'm doing a Nissan GT-R, and I'm ranked like 1158. I need to dig up particulars, but I think I did a 1.56 or something.

Yes, but only if you can tune the crap out of them. And in Prologue's case, no.

I love thrashing cars with a miserly amount of horsepower. But maybe I'm just plain weird...

No, I expected it to be short, but it's so short that there isn't enough money to be won to get all the cars you need to complete all of the events without repeating races. That's just annoying.

I don't expect Gran Turismo 5 in full to be short at all- it'll be very long, judging from GT3 and 4.

I do know where you're coming from, but a Daihatsu Copen? Seriously.

Vintage cars- definitely. But the Copen really is boring.

I've thrashed a Honda S800 around Nurburgring in GT4. It was a lot of fun. I prefer older vintage cars to newer ones if they're shitboxes. If they're slow, they better have a reason to be slow- i.e. old.

Thats a bit of a given. GT3 and GT4 were like that as well.
