Forza 2 or DiRT - that is the question

To be honest, I'm not sure if this poll has been done on these forums before. If it has; sorry ahead of time.

For those of you who aren't familiar with both of these games, I will just summarize what they entail. Forza 2 is a car racing simulation, where it pits you with a wide variety of cars, and pits you against the cpu and/or online players on tracks around the world. It is pretty much Gran Turismo for the 360. DiRT however focuses purely on offroad racing and RALLY racing. It is the sequel to the Colin McRae series.

Which one of these two are you picking up, and why? Please add some substance to the post to make this an interesting discussion. Also, don't hesitate to shoot down my summarizes of these two games as you see fit.

For me, I will probably end up getting both, but I am the most excited about DiRT since I am a huge rally fan.

DiRT for me, simply because it's fun to play.  I never really have any actual fun in Forza, and while I'm not sayin it's bad at all, I just don't have fun playing it.  I really enjoyed the demo of DiRT, and I can't wait for it to come out.  nyc05

i agree, forza is unquestionably a good, fine-looking game but "enthusiast" games like that get tedious really fast for me, i'm already getting tired of it - dirt is just plain, unpretentious good fun - i've spent almost as much time playing the 3-track demo as i have playing forza2.

I was stuck between the 2 until I found out that Dirt doesn't have any online multiplayer whatsoever (with the exception of leaderboards) which is pretty much unacceptable nowadays.Soldier2020

that's a disaster, are you sure? link?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

It has online mutliplayer, but you can't see the cars you're racing against. You race against time instead.

Yah, but thats how rally racing is in real life. Rally tracks are made to support one car at a time, not multiple cars.  

due to the fact that they both look FREAKING SWEET lol (got very excited)

but seriously you have to own both cos there both kick ass just buy them both

ive never flipped a car in forza...

and if theres no online in dirt that sucks..

i think nascar would be cool ..online multi ..

ill be the guy driving backwards....i love that ...(remebers nascar heat)  

Forza 2 is the better game. I love DiRT, but the trucks and buggies ruin it for me. I wish it were all cars.BioShockOwnz

the buggies is one of the main reasons i am getting it; however, the trucks is very unneccessary; i am getting DiRT
