One of the best racing games ever made. It's a simulator, so nothing arcady, but you get alot of options in making the cars yours. There's a second one coming out sometime in May. Speed Channel even had a show called Forza Motorsport Showdown. Lol Anyone else here enjoy Forza?

Pure arcade? Which land are you in? Gran Turismo is more of an arcade. I've never played GTR, I would rather tune a street car then jump into a race car, and GTR is too expensive right now. Lol. I might get it when it comes out on Xbox 360.

Are you Alright? It seems to me you might be a little insane my friend.

GT4 is more simulation. Forza mad me mad, alot. Well it's really down to people in the game can spin you out very easily and when you try and get them back nothing happens and you spin out again.

I have no trouble spinning people in Forza...GT4 though, your car is a Geo Metro in a sea of semi trucks...Plus, the sounds are better, there's damage, the endurance races are easier, you can make your car your own, literraly. Graphics editor and you can put body kits on and change the color AFTER you buy the car too. GT4 may have about 500 more cars, but 370+ arn't worth driving, and in Forza, one car is equal to four or five different kinds, thanks to body kits and paint. Gran Turismo is an arcade game, even in simulation...

Yes, I have to agree that Forza is definitely a simulator. I myself used to be a fan of Gran Turismo (the first one for Playstation), but lost interest because it lacked the quality of damage factors to impact performance. Doesn't feel quite.... ... simulation-y if you run into a wall and decide, "Hey, let us keep going and somehow gain lead position a few laps later." And yes, I would say that in GT4 and GT5 there has become an abundance of vehicles that pertain to nothing when compared to Forza. Yes, I would say in my opinion Forza is better.

I like the graphic editor in Forza though (although I wish I could import my own .jpeg images to use for graphics) and I enjoy the rather frustrating opponents in Level 45 races. Fun times Endurance races are.

They sure are. Gran Turismo was awesome till I played Forza XD, then I don't even want to look at GT. I like how every car you have can be unique, unlike GT, where you put rims and a spoiler on it and you're done. I love how you can mix and match body kits, change paint and add graphics. Forza 2 supposedly has the ability to import your own images into it.

There must be alot of kids out there, since Forza is one of the most popular racing games ever made...check your statements, dude

Indeed, and also it's actually not the best racing simulator out there. Everyone has their own favorite, so it's not like I/'possibly' we are stating that Forza is the ultimate best game everzzzzzzzzzzz...... because I know that there were some flaws involved with Forza (i.e. Buggy Position system) but nothing that distracts from its appeal.

But for the most part, the majority of us like Forza. Hooray! Majority rule!
And it would be a great thing if I could import custom images in Forza 2; that would make customizing much more fun.

I dont care if i can put a body kit on my car. What I'd like to see is the option for Areo Kits and spoilers that could in real life do something.

Most of the time the spoilers will not do anything unless they are mounted off the car enough. I'd also like to see that when you put carbon fiber on a car it loses weight.

I've played Forza but I dont remember everything from it. But the Endurance races are hard but if you have the right car I.E. Audi R8 or Such it's less hard and the hardest I've come to is the races where it is 24Hrs. but I just put it on 2nd person untill I come back to it.

Most of the body kits I've seen in Forza affect the performance in some way, usually better handling and braking. And spoilers don't need to be mounted eight feet in the air to be effective, they just need to be high enough to catch the wind coming off the cab of the vehicle (if it has one.)

The thing about the spoilers is more about people buying $100 ones then putting them on their 94' Civic. It's only works if what your going for is looking totally amazing. Not

But I'd like to see spoiler lips Rear Diffusers, to suction you to the road. Not just in Forza but in all games. But it would be cool if you could add things like Aluminum Doors (to those that do not already have them) and Carbon Fiber. I'd just like to see carbon Fiber alot more or Fiberglass. also the option to line the engine bay with Gold would be cool seeing as it is a great heat reflector as used by the Mclaren F1

Yeah, but on some FWD cars it helps.

Alot of the cars in Forza have a carbon hood option. But I don't think the gold lining would be put in there, even though the car does overheat (rarely though.) Forza 2 is supposed to have even more options for tuning, so I dunno, maybe we'll see some of that stuff you want.
