it's not a bad game, although i still prefer gt4 over it any day. Â*but a couple of features about the game are awesome.

1. more realistic physics than gt4
2. real aero kit manufacturer's (cwest, gialla, ings +1, nismo, phoenix's power, mugen, etc.)
3. engine swaps (rb26 in s14-15, b16, b18, k20, h22 in almost any honda, etc)
4. i can make an evo VIII look like my IX with a gialla front bumper.
5. i have every car i've ever owned in this game, and i even made them look exactly like my own cars.

they don't offer enough rims, u can't paint ur rims (gold, bronze, etc.), the sti is rated higher than the evo when maxed out (such bs). Â*the graphics on the replay don't look as nice as gt4 even though most xbox games look better than ps2 games.

rims yah ...ive never seen the function to swap exhausts. i know some cars have the 'engine swap' upgrade available. id usually just go strait to turbo-intercooled...

bodykits, spoilers, paint, graphics ....though nothing like underground with all the crazy ass stuff.

Rims are limited... Love the added flair of carbon fiber front splitters and hoods...

Honda fans will enjoy the accuracy of engine swaps... Little things like the difference between driving around in a H22 powered CRX and a K20 powered EG6 is pretty close to what it'd feel like in real life...

Gameplay isn't something I'd compare to GT4... It's neither superior or inferior... Both are great games...

Why don't you rent it from blockbuster and try it out for yourself?

the rims do have names, they offer bbs, volk, gramlights, and a few other shitty ricer rims.

yeah i agree w/ u that it's a honda fan boy's dream come true w/ all the engine swaps and such. Â*i hope the maker's of gt implement a few of these options into gt5.

anybody you know have it? id assume not as this would be an obvious first move... maybe just try software etc. and see if they have a cheap used copy ...so if you turn out to hate it, no biggee as you didnt drop a hefty amount.

Other stuff I thought of is more intricate setup... you can adjust tire pressure, brake bias, full allignment, sway stiffness... The telemtry data is also pretty trick... The visual damage is very entertaining... Everything from fender benders, to bad alignment and blown windows...

also...

Have you ever concidered JUICED? it's a bit cheesier than the "so called" driving simulators but has it's own entertainment value... You get to race for pink slips, build up a crew, have other people race for you, have team races, and what not...

For the ricer in you, there's chameleon paint jobs, neon lights, and a you can paint rims and everything else...

AI is fairly aggressive as it is on Forza...

Yeah, the pre 1974 race... I like using the porsche spider, but I keep getting bumped around by the bigger cars like a tin can...

Porsche spider?? hmmmm sounds cool. what level are you on? I don't know if i have that car unlocked yet.

No problem Romeo.... you can borrow. Just bring something in exchange next week ;)

forza motorsports is good for customization. as for the physics, GT4 in my opinion is better. forza is a fun game though =). the engine swapping is great =D.

I don't really remember... I think I'm somewhere close to level 40... It's definitely mid/high 30s... Though, I haven't played lately... I've done every other race unlocked race in the series other than the classic race...

I can hang in the more technical tracks with the porsche spider, but the longer tracks like new york, I get killed in the back straight and practically put into the walls when trying to pass in the corners... It doesn't help that you have to keep the car unmodified for those set of races...

Forza is pretty good. I enjoyed it more than GT4 since the sense of speed seems a bit better. The GT series always felt really slow to me.

Yeah GT4 did seem slow, music was boring too. whats the word on Forza 2?

That was another selling point of that game... Being able to play your own soundtrack and being able to change tracks, albums, and music volume on the fly is cool...

Music on GT4 was repetitive and IMO not as good as the music on GT3 was...

that lingenfelter is just a nightmare ....i had to have a fully loaded c6 just to fight for 1st, and by that point, the thing was such a nightmare to control.

cant remember what level im at ...30something, havent played in awhile and im too lazy to go fire up the box and find out. lol

I hate the corvettes!!! you need a fully modded Vette just to keep up on the straight aways. But a fully modded vette is impossible to control. I've been stuck on the level for weeks..... I've only completed one track it was luck.

no worries.. if you don't pick it up let me know and i'll bring it next week. I've playing NBA 2K6 and i picked up RallySportChallenge2 for $7.99. Its old but good.

Ever since I got PGR3 I have only played Forza 1 time.Â* I'd be ok with giving it away if someone wants to meet up after work sometime (for drinks?)....and maybe give me a quick spin in your car. :coolsmiley: I work in Irvine and live in Anaheim Hills.

You're not using the nice color line to judge you brake timing?
