Just a FYI to anyone with a 360 and xbox live, The Forza 2 demo was released last night.

700mb.
24 cars
on Mugello short.

seriously, if you have any interest in cars at all, you will love it.

the physics,sound,graphics,ai is all top notch.

if you have no idea what im talking about, goto youtube and just search for forza 2 or forza 2 demo, or goto
www.forzamotorsport.net and download some of the HD video's on the main page.

Yeah and im not impressed >=| They havent turned on damage.
I spent a good 20mins doing burnouts and beating my car up with no adverse effects or tyre wear!

Seriously, the game is looking tops for when it goes gold.

ahh well, they are just giving us a taste.. and im damn impressed!

full will obviously have damage on (not just cosmetic) and the AI will me much, much harder - been confirmed that the AI is on easy or very easy by one of the dev's.

either way I love it =)

Yeh, I played it last night

60FPS, Super cool AI, great sense of speed and a fantastic learning curve, it's much harder than the previous game, on the last turn at WOT in the 350Z or the M3 if you are turning in too hard or in a tiny bit of a slide with all the assists off the car whips out uncontrollably. It's GREAT!

Gonna go play it again, graphics are very nice, looks very similar to Moto GP, great game.

Sexy time.

When it came to the braking and turning.. sure, the physics were pretty real and I had a around with TRC and ABS off etc getting the feel of the pressure points in the buttons but even when your booting it down the main straight at 250kmh it certainly doesn't feel like your going fast.

Does any other racing game that isn't real life? ;D Hehe.

See if you can find someone with a steering wheel and give the game another go; the wheel makes a huge difference.

PGR3 was a release game and yes, it is very good simulation wise. The tracks look incredible as well, as do the cars.

However realism wise it does not compare to Forza2; Forza is lightyears ahead.

But realism isnt what PGR was all about.

i played forza on x-box, liked it very much but cant member now weather it was better than PGR2 or not. but i liked them both.
was going to buy a 360 but changed my mind and thought i'll rather get PS3 when the price drops down to $500

All credibility is now gone, it was a HORRIBLE simulation... Any game that MAKES you slide in order to suceed is a steaming pile of crap IMO.

its an arcade racer (PGR) not a sim, so sliding is part of the fun .. imo anyway.

forza is where its at for the sim

I have always found i go faster without sliding.
However i do spend all my time on the Nurburgring tracks... ;)

But yeah, the game boasts doriftoro.

Certainly PGR3 compared to a lot of other racers around is up there with the best of them.

Oh and Alen...

You will be waiting a _LONG_ time.. even with second hand units.
Sony lose about $300aud a console or something silly on the PS3 atm.

FYI PS3 is $499 with xbox or ps2 + 10 games at GAME (renamed game wizards) on the radio over the last week.

Im a gamer, but to be honest.. surprisingly I have no interest (at this stage) in the PS3.

Haha, imagine the mile long exclusion list. I'd bet the 10 games would have to be super new releases or else they would reject it.

Yea maurice you are correct..

anything released within the last 6 months, MUST have case, manual and disk must be MINT!..

Go see an EB in a centre where they have a Game.. they will do the same basically wihtout any crap on top!
