I love this game. It challenges you regardless of your skill level. Yes, it is the most accessible racing sim ever.
Forza's quest for perfection sneaks up on you slowly. Even skilled racers will find that even after a win, and a replay with the telemetry feature turned on, the feeling that you could do better, race faster and finish cleaner is impossible to shake.
I am a huge fan of the GT series, but this game does things that I've never experienced in a racing ...
I gave my wife a Zune for Christmas (I already own a Creative Zen) and I have to say, the Zune is awesome! I've already purchased a second, for me.
>>> Americans really think they represent the world? No wonder their average citizen can't point out where Russia and France are on the map. <<<
Look, if you want to be taken seriously don't make idiotic, assinine statements.
Keep on the topic, present your opinions and listen to other's. You just might learn something.
And for the record, I know where Russia and France are on the map. I also know an idiot when I see one---or read...
...Then Sony will have nothing to worry about. BUT--if there are more than a few, legitimate instances of deteriorating blu-ray discs--and the story gets picked up by the mainstream media, Sony and blu-ray will be screwed. Seriously.
Even if this doesn't make the major news outlets, but does spread among electronic retail chains, it could be equally devestating.
Just picture hundreds of Best Buy sales people steering customers to HD-DVD players in lieu of Blu-ray...
It's EXCLUSIVE CONTENT for the Xbox 360.
Exclusive means the added, exclusive content will not appear anywhere else.
Episodic implies a continuation of the story whether adding to the main storyline or introducing new plot lines and characters.
ep·i·sod·ic (ĕp'ĭ-sŏd'ĭk) also ep·i·sod·i· ;cal (-ĭ-kəl)
adj.
1)Relating to or resembling an episode.
2)Composed of a series of episodes: an episodic novel.
3)Limited to the duration of an episode; temporary.
You won't.
Sorry.
For all who complain about episodic content, new game maps, extra vehicles, weapons and gameplay for any game released or yet to be released, look at it this way: it's about creativity!
Think for a moment about all the times you've read a developer's post-game release interview. What is the single most common complaint?
Think about it and be honest.
The single greatest---and most common complaint expressed by developers AFTER a game is released is ...
The phrase episodic content implies that additional episodes (plural) will be released to further the GTA IV story line.
>>> PS. PS3 isn't going any where <<<
Yeah, I'll agree with that.
You need to think a minute about the phrase "episodic content." This means additional story content, missions, possibly new maps, certainly new characters and any other possibilities that the phrase "episodic content" implies.
The 360 version WILL be the version to own.
@DR PEPPER, you're correct. Though in truth additional maps, and almost cetainly new characters, could be included to help further the storyline. In any case however, the addit...
>>> Tell me, has any downloadable content that MS has released been "Real good stuff"? <<<
Hell Yeah! Besides Shivering Isles for Oblivion and the sweet, sweet new game modes for PGR3, I'd offer the incredibly diverse and well thought out extra content for Crackdown. It was so good it was playing an entirely new game.
I have to say, Xbox Live's downloadable content whether for Gears of War or Kameo, has given added replay value to gam...
I watch HD movies and programming via digital downloads and streaming. I also purchase most of my music via digital downloads.
Much of my work is in the music industry; I've been involved in it for years. Physical media is dying. It already is obsolete; it's just that its death throes haven't been noted by eveyone yet.
Bill Gates is correct. The exact timeframe may be off, give or take, but the outcome is assured.
A teaser trailer to go along with the screen shots.

All I can say is WOW!!!
I have a number of friends in Japan; they do not have problems finding games for their 360s. Additionally, there have been a number of articles recently focussing on Japanese retail placement of 360 games.
One article showed video advertisement and sinage for 360 games in lieu of PS3 software. The 360 placement took up space reserved for the PS3. The retailer provided a sign saying that since there were no new PS3 releases, try these 360 games.
You need to learn layering with simple shapes as well as skewing shapes to add to your design.
Shapes colored the same as your background, or base color, can act as 'eraser stamps' which can aid greatly when attempting complaex designs.
Remember, you can use up to 1000 layers on the sides and top of your vehicle.
Experiment with 'eraser stamps' to learn how to create intricate designs.
Good luck---and have fun!
The design feature in Forza is addictive; it pulls you in and doesn't let you go.
I love it!
PS3 games will only look good when played on HDTVs through an HDMI cable? You're saying that all other tv/component cable set-ups will look like trash?
I have news for you bunkie.... IT'S ALL RELATIVE!
Since both consoles used the same set-ups, the same displays and the same component cable hook-ups, both would look identicle IF the graphics quality of the compared games was the same.
They were not, and they did not---look the same! The 360 images ...
>>> i play my 360 just 1,2 times a month because there's nothing to play on it except shooting games which i don't like... <<<
Either you live in a dark, smelly cave and never get out much, or you have a problem with truthfulness.
Either way, saying that there is nothing to play on the 360 except 'shooting games' is idiotic.
Please, don't make outrageous statements. The responses won't be nice.
>>> I mod and paint my cars then put them up for auction every day at 8:25am. Then i go to work and watch the bidding via Forzas website. Then once i get home i get to spend my earnings on new cars to race with. Simply amazing. <<<
I do the same thing, lol! Forza 2 is like playing two different games. It's that rich in game play!
Race, paint, auction, race some more, paint some more then smoke competitors while driving your freshly painted signa...
