No He's serious.

Although I agree on the most part with his reasons why he feels like that. But I suppose it's best coming from th big old horses mouth...

(for the most part it's about the car selection and the sheer number of vehicles you compete against in a race)

Forza one was really irritating to me, is Forza 2 really that much better?

PGR 3 and 4 are superb.

Not tried that big sandbox Test Drive. Worth looking into?

What else?

DiRT
Flatout UC
Ridge Racer 6
Sega Rally

and Burnout Revenge if one didn't have it on earlier consoles.

And Test Drive is excellent.

Just my opinion Mike.

I have Flatout and PGR4 and they're great but Rallying games don't do it for me. I love my racing games more than any other genre but there are very few that appeal to me at the moment. Call it gut feeling or whatever.

[Criterion has] doubled the multiplayer capacity for the demo. Both 360 and PS3 versions. Which means between January 4 and January 14, you'll be able to have eight players in an online session instead of four.

Ooooh!

Well, lets hope the network is functioning during this time and I might get a chance to try it out.

Anyone tried jumping off a car park yet? It is a similar kind of fun to Crackdown "base jumping".

More interested in this now.

The demo didn't win me over. Just felt sterile after playing TDU. Forza 2 is one of my games of the year though (2007) although it takes a while to get used to. It is satisfying when you get it right though.

One of mine too and I usually hate such engine tuning, car fetish gangbangs. I couldn't tell a Subaru from a satsuma, but Forza 2 has been an amazing experience. The single player is definitely too long, but the sheer depth of the game, its intricacies, the 'feel' and the satisfaction gained from mastering the handling are almost second to none.

The graphics are very shiny but i still play burnout on my ps2, but that was at uni, burnout had many drunken nights with the lads, those were the days. I still find that a lot more fun than the new one so i don't think i will be purchasing the new one.

I voted it my GOTY on bitparade.

I hope my leagues have gone some way to making the game that good for you
