Screens don't do much justice but GT should have the better graphics.

Forza though will be a better game overall though since it is complete and GT Prologue is just a intro to what GT5 will be.

No the pics don't do much justice for Prologue 5. But like you said, it's only a taste of what is coming. The one thing that I noticed between Forza 2 and Prologue 5 is that the lighting is much better in F2. The pic with all the billboard ads has a cool lighting effect with sun rays shining thru on F2 but nothing anywhere close on P5.....again it's early, only time will tell how GT5 ends up.

Screen caps don't do any game justice, but it's pretty obvious that GT5:P looks the most realistic of the bunch, especially if you have played them all. I personally like the visual style of PGR 4 though. The stylized look to the car models, gorgeous city backdrops, weather, and unmatched motion blur, all make for a visual feast that's got a bit more flair then the other two games.

Co-sign the PGR comments, Flawless.

Graphically it is hard to top PGR4 environments not to mention some pretty decent lighting. Prologue is probably second best visually if you take all the flat lighting and backgrounds out of the equation. But that is like saying I can shoot hoops as good as Labron James if you take away his eyesight. So all things totaled I would say Forza 2 and Prologue are almost a dead heat. Prologue has one last trump card though - fantastic car models - which push it ahead overall but then Forza 2 drops its damage model on the crowd and its all even again. Too close to call in the end. All we are left knowing is that all three games are so beautiful that nobody but the biggest fanboy biatch whould be disappointed in any of them.

PGR4 is one of the most underrated racers released in a long time. Fantastic game on and offline, yet no one gave it any pub when it hit the shelves.

PGR4 looks better than both, completely agree.

Between Forza 2 and GT5P, GT gets the nod but not by a slam dunk. For example, the environments in Forza look better to me as do certain cars. Having owned the WRX, I think Forza got the distinctive color of the car a lot closer.

Based on initial impressions, it seems Forza blows GT's racing AI, car physics, and online functionality out of the water. I was a religious GT guy for a long time but can't play GT anymore because of how predictable the AI was in that series.

However, GT5 looks phenomenal- the cockpit view is beautiful. Not as good as PGR4 but very impressive given the number of cars they have in the game.
