Microsoft's Gran Turismo beater is coming out... I can't wait! Take a look at a screenshot:

I've saved up all my money for this, it's going to be so great! GT4 should watch out, Forza's charging down the home stretch! And could you imagine if Forza 2 came out for Xbox360 before GT5 came out for PS3...wow.

Those graphics are simply amazing. I am pretty sure this game will only be on Xbox, which is too bad for me because I don't have one. I wouldn't buy an Xbox for one game, so I guess I'll stick to my GT4.

Meh, I dont care for driving simulators. I've played the Forza demo and its real. I didnt notice much difference between gameplay in Forza and GT4.

I'm more of a fan of arcade style racers, like PGR2

Wow, that looks amazing. I read an article in Popular Science and they say that the game desingners tested the real versions of the cars in the game to make it as realistic as possible. I cant wait for this!

I have been waiting for this game for a long while, it was susposed to come out back in January, and it was delayed for a while, I just can't wait for this one.

I'm getting it tomorrow... I think I won't even be able to sleep tonight!

[Chris M 406]

I now have the game, did you get it MV ?

[your_adress_here 11]

How good is the game DA?

[Chris M 406]

Pretty good, YAH, I liked the selection of cars you got it had alot of the same ones from GT-4 but it also had a lot of new ones. I really liked the graphics and the cars it was pretty decent, you should get it.

This game OWNS.  I've been playing it a lot.  I'm disappointed there's no generic Toyota Camry (the Solaras are ... blech) ... I'd like to bodykit one in a game sometime, lol.

Anyways, this is probably the only time I'll ever say this, but the American version (Forza) beats the Japanese one (Gran Turismo 4).  Then again, it's not really a fair comparison considering GT4's rushed latter stages of development ... I like the continuous music playback in Forza, too ... the only thing I wish is that there was a way to change songs without changing the soundtrack until you find what you like.  Other than that, it's amazing.  Stunning graphics and awesome gameplay.  Microsoft's done it again in the racing department.

[MayorVieira 1]

Yes, DragonAnime, I did. The most fun I've had with a game since PGR2.

 

I'm stunned with the recreation of Rio de Janeiro, down to every single shop and roadsign. MSR standard of city recreation (which means even better than PGR2).

 

The gameplay is also amazing... the fully customizable difficulty settings, and the different rewards you get from diferent difficulties is gotta be the best thing about this game. Oh, gotta love the dinamic suggested line...

Btw, Equinox, there is a way of changing songs. If you go to the controller configuration, you can leave only the left stick for driving, and assign the d-pad for changing songs and music volume. It only works while actually playing, though. Not in menus...

[Equinox 1,209]

Hahaha, I feel dumb now ... I just found that out and was gonna edit my post with that (the help tips are pretty helpful at times, if you read the whole thing).  Thanks, though!

Anybody playing it on Live? How fun is it to race online and trade custom cars? Is it worth getting Live just for this game?

The group I game with has this game and we love it on-line.  We do some regular races and then switch to money races to see who the good drivers are.  Usually Someone gets claimed by the first corner gremlin and has a tough race ahead of them because their alignment is shot.

 

I am really enjoying this game.  Halo is starting to lose it's fun factor for me.  The new maps were fun, but now it's like Oh, we are playing Flagman on Containment instead of Coag. 

 

The customization, from soundtrack to automotive, in this game is amazing.  I am really loving my S2 Honda Civic.

[MayorVieira 1]

Car customization is really fun. I tend to spend more time painting and buying new parts for my cars than I spend actually racing them.

I might post some pictures of my modified cars here when I have the time... and I would like to see that Honda of yours, Aronion...

[your_adress_here 11]

I wouldn't mind seeing your cars untill I have enough money to buy it for myself.

[Aronion 9]

That Civic is light and powerful, but fun to drive.  It doesn't have the snuff to keep up with the big boys, but it's fun to show up on the line with that when there's a ton of Tommy's, Audi's, Scooby's and such. 

[sloppet 3]

This game will be really great! I think that I'll start to save money for this one...

[Captain_Heath 18]

It's better than I thougt it'd be I could spend hours customizing cars, let alone playing. So far my favorite car is an Acura NSX I won early on, too bad I can barely use it anymore
