[Brown, Jon Brow]

It looks pretty unremarkable :p

[ArrowsFA1]

Oyeeeeeee :eek: :p :

Not bad for a first effort I thought!!

[johnny shell]

did you 'paint' that car or something? if so that's cool!

I mean, for a first effort & all!

how about some flames? can you put some flames on it?

[pino]

Wish I had an xbox...but just for one week :p :

[Brown, Jon Brow]

How's the handling?

The TV ad says it's 'unremarkable' because the cars handle just like real life.

I loved the advert when I saw it on Sunday. Looks like a fantastic game. My friend is getting it today so I shall get all the information from the people who matter: the punters. Wish I had a 360 oh so much

If McRae DIRT is anywhare near as good we`ll be in for an absolute treat :)

You can pretty much put what you like on it. Some of the designs I've seen are astonishing! this (http://forza.game-host.org/up/img/186.jpg) isn't the best I've seen but it gives an idea of what can be done and shows just how pathetic my attempt really is :D I'm sure you could spend days just messing around with a design :eek:

How's the handling?
Realistic is about all I can say to that. You have the option of all the driver aids to help you, but turn those off and balancing your use of the throttle against the grip available is an art in itself. Available upgrades for each car really do make a noticeable difference to performance and handling.

It's a game that makes the purchase of a 360 well worthwhile.

Is it worth buying an XBOX 360 just for the Nordschleife on Forza Motorsport, looks a great game, but is it as good as TRD3?

[ArrowsFA1]

Can't tell you if it's as good as TRD3, but the Nordschleife looks great in-game and it's a real challenge to race a clean lap there. I had some great online races last night around Suzuka. My Patrese Focus kicked arse...and got kicked a couple of times!! :s mokin:

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I have the original Forza Motorsport for the old Xbox and TRD3. For vehicle handling and realism, original Forza is "laps" ahead of TRD3. Therefore Forza2 on Xbox360 would be light years ahead.

TRD3's strength is playing real tracks in real championships, but the handling is awful.

Give me 3 reasons (apart from Nordschleife) for buying this game, 3 good reasons...

;)

Nordschleife is a joke on Forza, the S/F line is on the straight, since when the hell is the S/F line on the straight, its right along the pits.

but the game is a GT rip-off, everything is the exact same as the GT series

yes, but they shortened it they took the side roads off the circuit so its just two long straights

[johnny shell]

The S/F line on Forza reflects where the toll booth is today if you drive your car round the track.
