Forza Fun over the Holidays

Honestly, Forza Motorsport is like... the best racing game ever. You can go "Gran Turismo this, Project Gotham Racing that, etc.", but I'll still be defending the Xbox's best damn racer, period. Don't get all "objective data states that (insert franchise of choice here) is better" on me, because my opinion is my opinion and it won't be changing anytime soon.

What other games do you know of where you can practice high-speed powerslides in an American muscle car, do a hillclimb with a custom-tuned and painted 800hp Mercedes, and install an RB26DETT from a Skyline R34 GT-R in a frickin' 1972 Nissan 240ZX!?!? All with awesome Xbox graphics!? OMG!

Forza owns, end of story. Here's to a sequel!

That said, any race higher than level 20 or Professional-level is near-impossible with all difficulty options set to their highest possible levels. Yes, I was playing 'till that point with every difficulty setting at maximum.

Since I was sickened by the prospect of having to race over and over and over to amass the dough needed to get a decent collection of cars, I got into the "engine reselling business"... if you know what I mean. ;)

Well, that and the B-Class Professional race on the Road America track really ticks me off. The AI shouldn't be able to do anything that's impossible for the player to do, like... recover from the entire grid crashing. You know what I did to win on the Blue Mountain course, B-Class, Professional, all difficulty settings at max?

On the last lap (and the last corner, too), I took my Lancer Evo, rammed it into the rear quarter of a hapless Porsche, and sent him careening into the idiots behind me, snatching first place from the AI's clutches! I even saved a replay of the glorious event.

I don't take that profile online, though. You know, the whole "engine reselling" thing ain't entirely fair. I'll give you a hint, the engines are stuffed with cocaine... all six pistons have been replaced with pure crack. Not really, but you get the idea.

"Oh no, officer! I got that Jetta from a used car dealer! Is it alright?"

Heehee...
