Forza 2 Difficulty

I would ahve posted in the forza boards, but it's not working at the moment.

I really need to know how ahrd this game is, to be honest I suck at racing games, flat out suck.

But I still like them, and I am planning on buying Forza 2 in about an hour, depending on what you guys say here.

I would like to hear a comparison to other games such as GT3/4, PGR, GTR.

If the game is as hard as GTR 1/2 I will not buy it. I have never completed a race in that game, I just don't have the patienc. If it's more along the lines of the GT games then I think I should be able to handle it.

I hope you can help me out. :)

It's not like GTR at all. That game was fun, but damn hardcore.

It's similar to Gran Turismo. You can significantly tone down the difficulty with assists and driving aids, anyway.

Ahh Great.

Although I wasn't very good at GT atleast I managed to have fun with it. My best friend is as hardcore racer as you can get.. (bought a 800dollar racing seat, just to give you an idea.) and I tried playing GTR at his place, it was pure torture and the only way I managed to beat him as if I ran him down in the first turn.

Now a game similar to GT is more up my alley, and if these driving assists can give me a little edge to my friend maybe I can even beat him once or twice. :D

Early on you can win easier by cheating the system and out-powering the competition. However, this game has realistic physics and will eventually require you to learn how to race. If you are not a big fan of racing games, and more specifically DRIVING, I wouldn't start with this one.

Edit: I do race on professional level, so my perspective may be scewed a bit.

Thanks for all the response I've recieved here.

Little over an hour after writing this topic I bought the game, and so far I have to say it's the best driving game I have ever played. My problem when playing similar games have been either my lack of knowing when or where to break or simply going too fast and breaking too late. With the Break line turned on though I have solved this problem and even a complete amateur at racing games (which I am) can get by.

I have now completed about 25% of the game and the difficulty has yet to get to a point where I can't manage, hell I even won a few races on Laguna Seca, a course I have feared since GT2 or 3! Even though my friend stil is far better than me I manage to keep up just fine as we are cooperating through career mode. And the possibility of hiring drivers to do the work for me should make even the hardest race simple.

The best thing is the lack of S license (or anything similar) from the GT games, which I think involved an obscene amount of laps on Laguna Seca with a Viper without Traction Control.

I would recommend this game to both experts and beginners. Not to mention those who like to watch others play (yes they exist too) since they can hire a driver to do everything for you.
