I've been playing this game since the day it hit the shelves. The game is great, the graphics are good. What really amazes me is the track detail this time out. I race with the xbox wheel and the vibration feedback on the bricks on one of the italian tracks or the feel of the concrete slabs is just amazing. Sounds of the engines and interior detail is great, too.
However, game play was much better in the previous Forza. I just don't like the monthly series you are forced to play. The previous game allowed you to jump around and race different series. Although this one allows some free play in different areas if you want to stick to the season it almost feels like you are trapped into certain car classes for sooooo long. A minor gripe but this game really wasn't a quantum leap from the previous game. I played Forza 2 right up until 3 came out. It's really the only reason I turn on the xbox now.
That is until Left For Dead 2 comes out. Banned in Australia. A country that was founded as a criminal colony thinks the game is too violent. Good enough for me.
