I honestly tried to like it because I heard it was a sim that rivaled Gran Turismo, but anyone who thinks it is, well, they're in serious denial. 360 still doesn't have a racer of any kind to compete with Gran Turismo because Polyphony Digital are way too fucking good. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue just outright looks better, plays better, is more fun to play...

And here's the real kicker, Gran Turismo actually feels fast when you're driving a fast car. In Forza, there's absolutely no sensation of speed in any car. Maybe if you try playing Gran Turismo you'll see that the sheer sensation of driving a GT-R in-car feels a lot different from driving an Integra Type R feels different from driving a Cappucino. That's the single thing I hated most about Forza 2.

I could sing the praises of Gran Turismo all day long because it's now going on to its fifth iteration and it's been AAA since day 1. People don't care, but I do because it's one game XBox will never have which is one game I prefer PlayStation consoles for. It's not that Forza 2 is even a bad game, even though PGR is way better anyway, it's just that it doesn't have either the graphics or gameplay to make it a better game than Gran Turismo.

I really love Gran Turismo, it has no equal.

I also want to point out how much frustration, how many blisters and how many curse words directed at the TV the series has caused me over the years. The sign of a good game, it can treat you like dirt and you still come back for more.

gran turismo has always been the best racing sim, nothing comes close its kind of obvious when you play it

here's a goldie, from Top Gear trying out Gran Turismo 4, and then in real life

YouTube - Top Gear: GT4 vs Reality

And a sort of review of GT by the same Clarksson:

So Sony is on to a winner. It can make all sorts of bold claims about how its Gran Turismo cars are the same as the real thing because no one will ever be able to prove it wrong. Those who earn enough digital money to buy the computer cars will have no time left for earning the real spondulicks. So they won’t have a proper car to compare with the interpretation on the PlayStation.

I got round this by cheating. I called Sony and asked it to send me a game chip already loaded with the 700 computer cars. And I am in a position to test out its claims because, unlike most people, I really have driven almost all of them in real life.

.....

That’s how it is. This game would only be more real if a big spike shot out of the screen and skewered your head every time you crashed.

You make one of the biggest mistakes of all those who love something and will always defend it no matter what: you forgot to say "IN MY OPINION."

Because that's all your whole rant is. Forza was rated better, so obviously it's just your opinion that GT5 is superior, but it's not the opinion of many others.

That's all...I could care less which you like better because we all knew what the answer would be before you even played it. If you want your onion to count for something then you should try to have less of a close-minded view. I've seen many of the same complaints about this GT as I've been seeing about GT for the last however many years, so it doesn't seem to have taken that great of a leap forward. If it's your favorite, I can live with that. Maybe it is the best, I dunno...I just don't like onions being presented as facts and I've always been a defender of the truth.

And, btw, Forza substituted graphics for accurate gameplay. Maybe the cars don't have 50bn polygons, but the cars react as a car would in real life probably moreso than any game to date...even your precious GT.

Never liked Forza, liked GT better. But arcade racers is more my style.

I have just bought Forza2 about to play it, swapped it for dead rising because my xbox thinks dead rising is not a PAL copy when it is

To answer boffo's post. I wish they did somthing in that patch that did something about players shooting TOW missles point blank every 30 seconds. Some guys that play, thats all they do. I'll watch them go reload after I get killed.Then have the luxury of getting killed a second time by the same guy slowly hovering over using the cloking tool and blast me away again with a TOW missile. Warhawk is a great game, but its things like that that spoil it sometimes. Its especially annoying when your on a team that is getting totally raped, and its all you can do to fight back against the other team, and still people come around and do point blank shots for some free kill. Not sure what anyone else thinks of that, but I think its such a cowards way to play the game. Use some strategy and skill for god's sake.....
