I went into this "game" with an open mind, and actually, I am pretty bloody suprised at just how good it is.
Of course, it's not perfect, but for a "sit on your couch and have a little race" type of game, it's actually really good.
Graphics are breath taking, but what really suprised me was the physics, the cars feel really "weighty", which is a heck of an achievement considering it's through a non-FF gamepad, it's really believeable, all the cars handle well, and the grip, and way the cars powerslide is really well done.
Just a shame there are no cockpits, the modelling on the car models is exquisit, god knows why they didn't take a little more time and model some cockpits, hopefully Forza 3 will have them.
The only thing that pissed me off a little, is the fact you need a bloody HDD to view any replays, seeing as I got a memory card and no HDD, it's a pain in the ass.
Of course, it will never replace LFS for racing (well, it might for a little while as my DFP is on it's deathbed....), but for a "console game", it's a bloody good one, way, way better than the shambles that is PGR4..........
