Referring to the original Forza, I agree the setup options suck. If they aren't going to respond the way they really would, why bother? For this, I liked PGR better, all the cars drive the way they drive and that's it.

As far as the actual driving physics, I don't like games that are too real. Without the seat of the pants feel, they just frustrate me to be too delicate and touchy. Just give me a game thats fun to play and I'm happy. If I want reality, I'll go for a real real drive.

But sounds like Forza 2 might be worse off on both counts for me. Same thing happened with the old MotoGP when XBL first came out, I was awesome at MotoGP, then MotoGP2 came out and all of a sudden it was too real. I couldn't keep the rubber side down. Oh well


And I'm Racenut on XBL also. But only have original Xbox so limited to Forza, PGR2 and Toca 2.

 

lol we're their target demographic! i knew it!

For some reason though I find it difficult to join a game. Usually prompts me that it is full or unavailable.

I spent some time with this on Forza1 over the weekend. I have to say that it takes some getting used to, but I disagree that it "just sucks" as everything, even going car to car in real life, takes some getting used to. I took a Porsche GT3, MR-2 Spyder, NSX-R and an FD RX7 and played with the suspension tuning extensively. I was really impressed once I stopped trying to treat it like GT4 and tried to learn how Forza does it. It was actually a lot of fun seeing how toe, camber, rebound and even messing with the swaybars and going back to back w/ test drives worked.

Before I gave away my PS2, I spent a whole weekend going back and forth between GT4 and Forza. I prefered Forza with no contest and noticed that often, I would forget to switch back to GT4. There were some aspects of GT4 that were nice, but overall it felt like an irritating arcade game and I will always dislike it for not having damage - that makes the whole thing very un-realistic. At times car movement just didn't make sense and was frustrating where you are going around a corner and suddenly you just swap ends. I have driven high hp cars and none of them fizzed the tires as if you were just freely revving the engine like a high HP RWD car does in GT4. Again, I have played all the GT games over the years and I was happy to give up GT4 for Forza. I use it with all aids off 'cept for ABS.

From a higher level, Forza just got me into the game and reminded me of actual track driving - I could tell that I was totally focused and into it where I wasn't with GT4. It probably has more to do with our own personal differences than which game "really sucks" and which one does not.
