I am not your typical racing sim fan,
I enjoy racing sims like I enjoy sports games, when I just want to unwind I can toss it in and just enjoy the sweet sweet simplicity of the genre and play till its time to go out, or to bed, or something good is one TV, I call these my "Brainless" Games I don't get onboard these this game is better that that BS, For games of this sort I listen to reviews because honestly the "Best" sport game in each sport changes almost yearly

I will admit I like GT3, it was 19.99 and was a good time killer on PS2,
When the talk of Microsoft coming out with their own racing sim hit the fan, I simply thought to myself....

Ugh....

So when GT4 came out to pretty good reviews I jumped on it,
I was not as impressed out of the box as I was with GT3, simply because 2005 has been the year of the graphic,
but it was servicable, I gave the crown to GT4 without even giving a second thought to Forza,

Then the reviews started coming, and needless to say even then I felt at best it would be a similar game,

Then last night I am strolling through my favorite "Big box" store, and I see Forza, one copy on the shelf,
I know its not out for another 12 hours, but what the hey, I grab it walk to the counter behind a woman in line who doesn't understand why her 5.99 universal remote does not come with batteries, and then me,

I bought a few other things, to mask my evil plan, and it scanned, although it showed up as "Promo" on my Bill, the price seemed right at 49,99 CDN,

and off I went,

When I got it home, I was stunned the game I had no intention of buying was stellar,

I just don't understand how Sony would allow MS to walk in and spit on one of its most storied franchises.

I want to review Forza, but I think I need a few more hours first
