Over the past several days, Gran Turismo 4 forums have been filled with posts about an American preview disc of the PlayStation 2 racing sequel. But rather than Gran Turismo 4: Prologue Edition, the stripped-down version of the game being sold in Europe and Japan for around $30, this demo is allegedly free. Sound too good to be true?

That's because it is--sort of. There is a free Gran Turismo 4 disc being offered in the US, but only as part of a promotional campaign by Toyota. Those interested in receiving the disc should log on to, select 'Vehicles,' then 'Brochures,' and then 'Request A Brochure.'

Requestors will then be prompted to fill out a form with a valid address and pick two Toyota models they want information on, one of which should be the Prius hybrid. Once the address is verified, a screen will appear that lists the items being sent to the brochure requestor. It reads: 'ITEMS ORDERED STATUS 2004 Prius Brochure Valid to Fulfill 2004 RAV4 Brochure Valid to Fulfill Gran Tourismo 4 DVD Valid to Fulfill 2004 Prius Accessory Brochure Valid to Fulfill 2004 RAV4 Accessory Brochure Valid to Fulfill College Graduate Rebate Flyer Valid to Fulfill' But what exactly is the 'Gran Tourismo 4 DVD' mentioned? Although misspelled, it is a 'playable demo' of Gran Turismo 4, according to Toyota representatives contacted by GameSpot. P K Sinha Distributed System Ebook. However, the Toyota reps could not confirm what was on the disc or when it would arrive.

For their part, Sony reps passed along inquires about the disc to other Sony reps, who had not commented by press time. However, several sources indicate that the 'Gran Tourismo 4 DVD' (sic) in question is an Americanized version of the Gran Turismo 4 Prius Trial Version that was offered at Japanese Toyota dealers late last year and handed out at the New York Auto Show. According to unconfirmed reports, the disc features two cars, the Prius and the Toyota MTRC Concept, and two tracks, the Fuji Speedway and Grand Canyon. However, reports indicate the demo is time limited to 2 minutes, and the Prius can only be driven on the Fuji track.

After the perfect 3 game, Polyphony Digital had to pull a pretty big rabbit out of their hat to please the fans and I have to admit that they did a pretty good job. There aren't many driving simulators for the consoles, let alone series that define the genre.

In these four years that passed since the third game was released, Polyphony Digital had all the time in the world to correct the faults of the previous game and add new modes and cars to the already gigantic database. Concept Have you ever driven 700 cars? I think that not even 1% of the gamers worldwide can brag with such driving experience, unless they've played Gran Turismo games since the first one was released. Once you've skipped, I mean watched the intro cutscene, you are taken to the main menu where you can choose to play a Career mode called or the arcade mode. The first may seem a bit of a pain as you really need to think your moves ahead and buy the stuff you need being limited by the amount of cash you have. The currency in GT4 is credits and if you're familiar with the GT series, this won't surprise you. Speaking of which, you should know that you can change the units of measurement from the options menu by selecting miles or kilometers or horse power for the torque.

If the human opponents or the AI don't provide enough competition for you, feel free to take on a time trial and try to defeat those ghosts. Every track in GT4 can be played in its normal version or the reversed one, increasing the game's replayabillity. In case you get bored of the driver's seat, you can enjoy the B-spec mode that allows you take control of the pit and be the manager of your driver. You'll have to tell the man what to do, at least stuff that has to do with cornering, speeding up or surpassing other cars. If the tires receive a lot of damage, you can call the pilot to go to the pit for a quick change of tires. I don't remember ever playing a game with such a huge database, and GT4 is a virtual encyclopedia of cars, manufacturers, models and spoilers.
