Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Post by Winnow »

PS2 peeps have no hope to match this. GT4 is like playing the original pong on a dirty screen compared to Forza. Time for a new console if you have a PS2!

Nice game. Best realistic race game yet. I still enjoy the Midnight Runs and Burnouts for long term play but this is #1 for realism and graphics for sure. Can't wait for the 360 games starting with Project Gotham 3.

I have been waiting for this games since last October. I was close to just buying a PS2 from CostCo and getting Gran Turismo 4, but now I don't have to. I have never subscribed to XBox Live, but maybe I will give that a shot so I can get owned by other real drivers instead of just computer drivers. Very much looking forward to spending some hours away from WoW and enjoying this for a while.

Too bad it has 2/3rds the car choices. Sure, it adds body dmg and online play (which I could care less about), but it's still 6 months too late to make me care. Yet another Xbox title that is a day late and a dollar short of making any sort of impression on me.

I'll start caring about Xbox titles when they start being the first to release a quality title from a genre instead of the last. Halo is the only exception, but I'm not a fan of FPS on consoles.

After seeing the developer list for thier next effort in the market, I hope they will start setting some trends as oppossed to showing up to the gunfight an hour late.

I'll happily wait for titles that don't make me vomit from the poor graphics. Forza has plenty of cars and all look better than the group of pixels forming the semblance of cars offered in GT4.

And your wait won't be long for first titles released by XBox 360. Their first generation overtook Sony's offering in power. Xbox 2nd Generation secured all of the best game companies. Their support list is nothing less than a blow to the nuts of Sony. That combined with a big headstart this round spells "stick to the PSP" for Sony.

I love this game on and offline. Been ADDICTED to it for the last 2 days. Feel free to hit me up on XBox Live, my GamerTag is Thornfist. :)

Having played GT4 and Forza extensively, I would say that Forza is a MUCH better game, even with fewer cars.

I've been very interested in picking this one up recently. Is it still fun after a month of playing?
