Very, is the word I'm looking for. A friend of mine in the local games shop has an import copy of Prologue and I had a chance to have a go.
Firstly, it's worth getting prologue for the 'making of' alone. It shows what goes on behind the scenes to create such an accurate game.
Secondly, the new tracks are lovely, though the narrow street tracks I played are a little annoying as you can't pass on them.
Ah, yes, that brings me to the niggle. When you touch another car or a wall you get a penalty which involves slowing down to 30mph for 10 seconds. This IS annoying and not being able to read Japanese, I couldn't work out if it can be turned off. Ok, so it makes the game harder and tries to improve your skill, but it really gets on your nerves after a while.

No matter how good you are, you're still going to hit a wall at some point. Don't you think hitting the wall is punishment enough? And I don't think that a damage system is the same thing really, you can dent body parts and still go on without having a time penalty. I really can't see them keeping the time penalty in it though, because it will put people off the game.
