FORZA MOTORSPORT
got it yesterday. and i think is is very good. think of it as pg2 but much deeper.
played a couple of games online and thought it much better than project gotham. you wont get away with smashing into people with this game. i loved spanking a le mans car and a couple of jttc touring cars in my 2004 sti with everything done to it. there a loads of little touches. i noticed that when i rubbed against the wall it ripped part of the advertising off not all of it just where the car hit it.
who's going to start the scoobynet car club???????????????????????.

I think its great. The Ring is much more detailed than the GT4 Version and you can play your own music. Bought Midnight Club 4 and took that back got that Konami one and took that back lol they must be getting fed up with me at Game.

Love how you leave paint on the barriers if you scrape them, not that I do that often you understand

Just got a copy tonight, so haven't really played that much, but I must say it is rather good.
If anyone fancies a bit of online action then my GT is The Sharkus (I know, I know)

After, finally, being able to get onto Live tonight, I've created a car club. Current name is Scooby Racing, tag is SCBY. So join up if you like.
Hope to see you online

I played the preview on the Xbox magazine and I wasn't impressed at all, in particular the controls were not very good.
Has this changed in the final version? Can anyone compare it?

I had seen the flash site demo of the game and wasn't too convinced by things, but now I have the game, I'm rather impressed. It's obvious they are trying to make it into Gran Turismo for the XBOX and I think they are doing pretty well for version 1.
I spent over an hour last night just messing around with things before even playing the game for real. For example, the Decal editor is a nice touch (pity you can't put decals onto carbon fibre body parts though
) and I didn't know that was in the game. The drivator is pretty cool (assume it's similar to GT4's Spec B thing)
I've only played a few races but I'm impressed. The damage moddling seems rather good, certainly when I smack the car it starts to pull to the left/right excellent.

OK, where's the brightness controls? Seem to recall someone else mentioning it's a bit dark
Am sucked in now Oh look at me, I'm in a very innocent looking Impreza RS, I'm not going to put up much competition am I? Shame I performed an engine swap and dropped in the engine from the Spec C, plus a few choice chassis mods too Sneaky? oh, that'll be me

It looks fantastic from what I've seen but I haven't played it.

Just for you paul:
"It's a pile o donkey poop (how rare!) and so you don't want to buy it!
On the serious side, looks like you're going to be parting with the folding to get a copy.
One is quite addicted to it at the moment, pity my parents flew over, otherwise I'd have having a session on it.

In either my scoob or my XR4x4
As an aside, my wife's totally std MX-5 is more than capable of a nice drift during a moderate cornering maneouvre, but unless you modify them heavily, the ones on GT4 do nothing but plough & wallow through the corners. Hardly the ultimate driving simulator it claims to be, or indeed it's predecessor was

Far too agressive witht he controls. I'm just getting the hang of it and I think forza is great! Love the hill climbs in my EVO

yeah no more being heavy on the controls like ive been with pgr2, you need to brake more. you have to work harder to get it round corners but at least the other cars try to avoid you & not drive through you! plus when you get whacked on one side, trying to steer straight while it wants to pull hard to one side makes it fun

great stuff. The crash damage and loss of pain is a nice touch.

The cars do battle with you as you overtake especially on a corner. They don't just sit there on the racing line.
I tried driving around a track the wrong way and the cars will try and avoid you. I've been told in GT4 they will just drive straight at you.

On most circuits, once ure in front, it seems the other cars cant pass you, even if theyre close to you or have a big bhp advantage.

i have heard though that Sony are developing AI that has "human errors" in it. They get many humans to race each making mistakes in different places then calculate an average & put that in the AI equation. Not sure how this differs how AI is done atm
will be online soon...
