    I got it a while ago and its excelent. Great graphics, unlimited amount of custimisation and most importantly A.I. that actually races you. Not just follow some preset line around the track.

    Cool sounds good I hear the cars can be damaged as well. Seems to be a trend with car games these days to be able to damage brand name cars. Been playing burn out 3 till now a good fun no brainer.

    Spooky ,you have a pc dont waste ur time on console racers :p
    Get GTR for ur PC instead :p
    Me bro has Forza and prefers it to GT4.

    now Dcully > thats uncalled for.

    I dont see where the OP asked about anything else other than Forza. God knows GTR is plugged everytime another driving_game is mentioned on this board.

    fs.

    anyway, forza is pretty solid. The damage model isn't as good as Toca but what is tbh :)
    it is quite good > put on sim damage and it's a bitch to get around the track after a few hard hits.

    also, the game punishes you for damage to your car > loss of credits from race winnings 'pending on how severe the damage is.

    I'll do up a small review tonight and post it.

    Whatever kaimera,chillax man.
    Ill edit to add a smilie or two for the sensitive folk round here :rolleyes:
    fs.
    Again chillout!

    I was having a laugh with spookey and hoping maybe to have a wind up with him on our team speak channel later is all.

    Since you mention it though.
    Why not plug GTR ?
    GTR is the best pure and simple,its the benchmark for all others.
    If you want a good arcade racer console racers rule.otherwise get some pc racers.

    Forza AI as mentioned is easlily better than GT4 ,gfx are really nice ,my bro has it.

    My young lad went into game to get some PS2 games on saturday and the guy behind the counter gave him a bag for them , but also in the bag was some magazines , a pariah demo disc and a pre order xbox forza disc . I presume all "game" shops are doing this so maybe someone near you got one that you could try

    soz Dcully. Came out harsh I know but the GTR fanboi-ism is getting like Mozilla on Windows/Computers tbh.

    gets old after a bit. :(

    anybody with an interest in racing sims would know GTR > teh rest. but you cant get GTR for xbox.

    and he did ask about forza.

    Sorry for not being in the 'loop' for the windup you were going for :)

    I liek my pc racers altho I could do with sorting a proper driving setup but forza is solid for a console. GT4 > in ways but then after 4 attempts you'd hope it would be :)

    /me waits for forza2...
