Funny! I started just trying to complete some of the later levels and gave up. Haven't played that one in a while. I wish I had more time lol

I have always enjoyed the Forza series and really liked the review. I think you really nailed it in that Forza is a 'car-collecting and car-upgrading' sandbox, and a massive one at that, but there are still areas that fall short. Doesn't mean Forza isn't a fantastic game.

Too many people on gaming forums get hung up that 'if you are not FOR something you are AGAINST it". I can enjoy something immensely but that doesn't mean I am blind to its faults. It was nice to read a down to earth perspective on the game before it is released.

If I sound disappointed in other threads it is because I get sucked in every time T10 rolls out the hype machine for a new game. I get my hopes up that they will take their powerful position and push the sim genre even further on the console.

In the end my hopes are usually dashed, but for what it is and tries to be, Forza is a great series. What it lacks in racing pedigree is overshadowed by how much it packs in content and customization. It also doesn't hurt having some good leagues to race in.

"It feels so good, in fact, that someone who has never played a racing game before but knows how to drive -- in this case, my wife, for which the last point is debatable..."

Oh snap!

Which wheel is good with this game? Never played with a wheel before, sounds fun.

TCrouch · 10-11-2009, 02:26 AM

The MS Wireless wheel is what I used, and what the game seems to be designed around.

Great review, Terry. I am personally not a sim racing fan, but you really described your experience well. This is what I appreciate in reviews: I'd know what to expect if I got the game (a good expectation).

Thanks for the review. Months ago, hearing about this game, I expected it to be awesome, and now the reviews have shown that it is a great game. The last racing game I really liked was PGR2, and this looks to be much better than that. See ya'll online!
