Drivers & car enthusiasts, this is a must buy.
All I can say is if you're a driver or car enthusiast and know your automobiles, this game won't dissapoint you. Detail of the cars are next to perfect, crisp graphics, and cool damage simulation give the feel of the speed.
Suspension physics are awesome as it's possible to see measurements of the pressure of your springs on corners for the serious tweakers. Drifting is possible for the drifters out there, although there isn't specific drifting modes, you can just do it for the fun of it.
Offers many inscentives to want to be a clean driver. You can't go cutting across lawns to make it easy, time your braking and accelerate off the apex! And the sound... if you're a car lover like me, that is key! Because nothing sounds like an inline six gettin 25psi of boost... Engines all have their own unique sound. Not just the regular vroom vroom.
Another unique thing in this game is you can swap engines within the same manufacturer... for instance a skyline engine in a 350z... making the 350z an AWD beast. Endless customizing / tweaking options. People want to get really serious, take the time and make some pretty cool custom paint work... offering you up to 1000 layers on your car [get your noggin kickin into creative mode!]
This game offers what any car lover could ask for... I mean the only dissapointment to me was they took out the drag racing feature... That was so fun on the original Forza, I have no idea why they took it out. There's a lot of 1320 dudes out here, what are you guys thinking?! Replay value is high, has some pretty cool online features... tournaments and auction boards and such. I'm going to have to give it a 9.5/10... This is what every race sim should be like.
All we need now is a clutch system integration and a good feeling wheel. Imagine grinding gears and frying your clutch! Then we'd have some real stuff, hopefully next gen!
