I just rented Forza 2 today (thank god) and why does everyone talk so much about this game? It does NOTHING new! It's like every other car sim game out there, I had just as much fun playing it as I did playing GT4 on PS2, and the graphics are not very good at all! The only think I liked about it was the paint jobs you could do to your car thats it, it got borring before I entered the semi-pro races. I should have rented Viva Pinata instead or something!

Forza 2 is a great game but I found out personally that the game grows on you. It starts off slow and pretty decent, then you start to customize your own cars more and mroe and tune them and you just get really into it. That's at least what happened to me.

I love it. When I'm bored, just test-drive my '68 shelby GT500 around mugello short, and listen to her roar.

Sure they can do inovative things like PGR with it's in car view, that feature alone got alot of people to play a game they otherwise would have played.

You really shouldn't go by hype on this board. If said hype was always spot on, MGS2would havethe best story ever created in the history of mankind, Halowould bethe best FPS in existence, etc.

What the hell is an innovate racing simulator?

You pick a car and you drive around a track alot. Thats the foundation of the genre and it isn't going anywhere in a hurry.

That's considered innovative here? No offense, but if everyone but me believes that I hope nobody ever complains about FPS' being generic ever again.

Indeed. Many people accuse me of not being able to understand the plot since I don't like it. Thing is, I think I would have liked it better if I did NOT understand it...

But, MGS3's plot more than made up for MGS2's, so all's good.

A different view is innovative? It's a sim, it gave you the most realistic physics of any next-gen console racing title. That was it's innovation. If you want pretty go play PGR or GT

Forza 1 was so lame that I rented this one and its just as generic and boring as the first.

im gonna have too pick up MGS3 again. i sold my ps2 before i even got a chance too finish it. hopefully there is no issues with the BC for it.

So if it was just like every other racing sim game, including GT4, do you get just as bored playing GT4? Since you did say you had just as much fun with Forza 2 as you did with the GT series, was it really a diappointment?

heres why it is fun for me and not for you. It is very close to driving in real life so if your a race car driver you be good. You can tune your car in very many different ways. So if you have Live then you can race in the same class or same cars to see whos is better and the winner gets cash. also you can make your car look cool or you can buy aferrari. Now the game doesnt suck you probably didnt take full advantage of it, you dont like sims, or you sucked at it and didnt like it and you are wasting your time making this because different people like different things.

He just said he thinks GT4 blows just as much as Forza. And he thinks PGR3 is a racing sim.

You know what? You're not maneuvering the car realistically unless you're using some sort of steering wheel controller.

The in-game physics in sim racers are still far more realistic than arcade racers. You still have to implement proper control with the brakes, acceleration, and turning degrees (which can still be properly represented on a controller, the analog stick and triggers are pressure sensetive) to successfuly turn corners at high speeds. Overdo something and you spin out, slam into a wall, and basically lose your footing. Real racing isn't pedal-to-the-metal, you have to excersize control. Arcade racers let you go full throttle all the way, which would never work in real life.
