So, I've been playing Forza on my own console for just over a week now, and decided I would share my thoughts on the game.
There may not be as many tracks as on GT5, and the track rendering may not always be as pretty as GT5, but, to my eyes, the rendering of elevation changes seems far better. I've caught myself craning my neck trying to get a better view over the top of a hill (yes, I know, I'm an idiot!) and the first time I went down the mountain at Laguna, my stomach actually did a flip! I like all the tracks that are new to me, but, sad to say, I still hate flipping Motegi!
The car selection isn't as vast as GT5, but that's not a bad thing. Really, who wants 100 different versions of the same car? I'm sure Kaz must have lost his virginity in the back of a Skyline, and that's why he loves them so much. I've also never understood some peoples compulsion to own every car. Unless I need to buy a specific car for a specific event, I only want to own cars I would like to own in real life.
I like the fact that at every level increase up to 50 you get a choice of reward car, although I admit to agonising over which one to choose a lot of the time! Still, I've had all my freebies now, so will have to buy the rest.
The AI are spawn of Satan, but I'm learning to deal with them. If I can't beat them all to the first corner first, I hang back, let them through to beat each other up, then pick them off one by one.
I know nothing about tuning a car, but that's something else I'd like to get my head round, sooner or later. I've always been a lover of standard cars though, so it may take a while before the tuning bug bites.
Ditto with the livery editor. I look at some of the designs people have come up with and I'm blown away. I WILL have a try sooner or later, but at the moment I'm enjoying the driving so much, I don't want to spare the time.
That's pretty much it, but I would like to say just one more thing.
RENAULT 5 TURBO!!! I am in love!
