Is here

Sounds pretty nice...shame translation aint great. Below is a copy/paste for the lazy, German to English.

"3... 2... 1... Loosely!!!" It is so far. The hot expected running simulation ' Forza of engine haven ' from the house ' Microsoft ' is on goal degrees its development. A good month must Racingfans from all world still wait, to them with the loudly announced ' Gran Turismo ' - competitor over the bitumen to heat be allowed. After those achieved nearly finished version of the title few days ago our test laboratory, and we you new exclusive picture and video material to present were allowed, send we the Racer now on a detailed long-distance test, which should not leave questions open.


Off on the runway

If a howling engine shakes the room soil, which switches traffic light to green and quietschende tires as a stinging smell rubbers did not continue to burn anything including smoke cloud leave, each genuine running play fan a due portion gasoline shoots immediately in the blood. In ' Forza of engine haven ' such a scenario belongs to the agenda. All the same whether you supply you in the Arcademodus kurzweilige duels with the computer, the time mode uses, around which of your boliden to take out or a few relaxed exercise rounds on the north loop turns last tenth ofs a second, Action finds it zuhauf. The core of the play consists however of the extensive career mode. As soon as their of you put on profile and took up with lean budget the first Flitzer to your vehicle park, may participate you in wind hurry in the first running series. Apart from a complex on-line career (in our test version not available) numerous maintaining challenges, which differ in various regard, expect you. _ at the beginning your career will it only match the class deny can, until their sufficient success collect have, which you the entrance in large championship make possible. Five running series with in each case up to 20 challenges require your whole being able, up and off the runway.

Connoisseur of the Gran Turismo - the long-winded license tests of the running simulation in more or less good memory will have series. In ' Forza of engine haven ' may participate you however directly in "genuine" matches. _ alone leave it however nevertheless not, in opposite: Forza is at the same time demanding and in riser friendly. This is because of the individually adjustable degree of difficulty, which can be adapted to your personal abilities perfectly. Apart from different opponent strengths and in addition adjustable maturing and fuel consumption, can likewise select you between simulation and arcadelastigen damage model, or an ideal line use, which indicates you beside a perfect travel route in addition the perfect braking and point of acceleration. Without an anti-skid system, traction control, as well as a stability management does not have to be done likewise. Completely without consequences the driving assistance cannot be used however. Dependent on the selected degree of difficulty change also the reward size for successful running. A risers may make therefore on a play that them take to the hand and offer to them valuable assistance to each time, professionals happy however can on hard Rennfights make itself calm, which disburse themselves at the same time in the form of Credits.


Handling of the other star

As soon as their of you also on the racing course accompanied vehicle the first time, becomes fast clear, how provocative and simulationslastig ' Forza of engine haven ' is in reality. The fact that the physically correct load misalignment of the vehicles affects particularly their kurvenverhalten, confirms the outstanding driving feeling uncommonly. Should steer you your cars also to high speed into a curve, can assume you it will remain extremely tricky on the distance. Therefore the correct tire choice can decide on victory or defeat, because a car, which offers perfect a road grip, arrives faster at success than a body, which is very slide susceptible. Here we can draw for the first time a direct comparison to the Gran Turismo - competition. In the Sony version it is to be held by far more simply a car on the distance, when it is in ' Forza of engine haven ' the case. This reflects again above all the kurvenverhalten of the two Rennsimulationen again. Where you come into Gran Turismo with high speed a Kurb passage, it into ' Forza ' fast to the turner, which quite reality closer appears. Because who also over 100 things passes such an unevenness, should be calm on more than only a small ' hop '.

But the general handling of the cars convinced, also the speed feeling does not only look for its-same in the simulation scene. The speed boliden is transferred perfectly to the screen, so that even "HP Arme" devices, which have nevertheless some at speed under the hood, show as fast it actual are. From this a further point gain results opposite Gran Turismo. Here the weaker cars arouse the impression of the total stop, although this in the reality clearly more quickly arise.


Exciting play experience

The K.I. (artificial intelligence) the opponent affects in ' Forza ' likewise positively the play happening. Aggressive handling, computer computer-Boliden, grants an exciting running pleasure. In addition your rivals cause human driving errors, which closer-to-reality hardly are could. Verbremser and Ausritte in the gravel bed belong to the smaller physical defects, which afford your contractors, because rough sheet metal damage by fiery Crashs may be likewise expected. From this result dramatic position fights, which make you possible sayful running moments. Certainly pleasing is also the fact that your adversaries do not roll one behind the other ago as pulled from a cord. In the opposite, instead of, as it with the competition the case is to be used, almost exclusively the ideal line, often tries your Wettstreiter it with the Brechstange. Should have you sit thus opposing boliden in the tail, it is importantly no area for overhauling maneuvers to be offered. Curves must being driven through in such a situation more closely than usually, otherwise your contractor recognizes the smallest gap, and uses these merciless. It occurs frequently that you are knocked against, and trouble have your vehicle under control to hold.

If it should actually come into such a situation to the accident, may you you to more than only sheet metal damage adjust, because the damage model, which is missing in a GT 4 completely, does not only have optical effects. You rattle unfortunately with an adversary together, are a tire damage no rarity. In such a case the box is to you at the disposal, which can bring your boliden back on the wheels. During a long-distance running (in later running classes available), a thought out box strategy is even extremely important. Who loses much time in the box too, a good positioning can forget. Also tactically some is thus demanded at intuitive feeling.


Off the runway

In addition have you in ' Forza of engine haven ' the possibility of training an independent K.I. which takes over the hard running everyday life for you. The characteristic of the ' Drivatar in such a way specified ' forms from the kind of the development of the feature, since it can be adapted completely to your own style of driving. If it rather the Rambo among the drivers are, your Drivatar without consideration for losses over the distances to likewise race, moves will adapt it you more elegantly over the runways, the ' Drivatar ' also to this running form. If want you can you directly several ' Drivatar ' put on, which will exhibit all perfectly different styles of driving. Ever after are to be completed which running, can you then a suitable ' Drivatar ' load, in order to go well prepared into the match.

And also between wonderful running ' Forza ' shows its whole quality. An extensive Tuningmodus lends new power to your boliden and a schickes appearance. Here the play a Gran Turismo exhibits likewise the barriers. Engines, brake disks or final mufflers can be equally exchanged, as tires, clutch or the chassis. Although the Performancetuning of the two plays decides only insignificantly from each other, the optical change possibilities set clear yardsticks in ' Forza '. Korpulente tail spoilers, which affect the aerodynamics of the vehicle at the same time, are just as also at the start as kunterbunte Vinyls or stylische carbon rims. Nontheless the play remains a washgenuine simulation also here. A gulf R32 offers for example clearly more Tuningoptionen, than a Enzo Ferrari. Who a Tuningpart à la ' Need for speed ' only little to gain can be thus calmed down. ' Forza engine haven ' remains always for its line faithful.


Purifies technology with tiny Macken

But which would be a running play without expanded Multiplayerpart? Also here ' Forza ' has more than one nose length opposite ' Gran Turismo ' vorraus. Off-lines may against each other begin 2 players in the Splitscreen and prove a their being able. The on-line variant, which in GT not at all 4 is present, leaves at the same time 8 players on the distance. But thus not enough. It will buy and will sell possible its vehicles. Xbox-live-Benutzer will create in addition ' Car clubs so mentioned ' and to join be allowed, those similarly function as so mentioned of clan. Up to 100 such a club is to cover members and permit an internal ranking. Therefore multi-player passport is absolutely guaranteed.

Now we come to the last point of the ' Forza ' a further mark distinguish. Here it concerns an excellent technology naturally. Graphically the play exceeds the strong competition and convinces by picture-beautiful car models, detailed distances and high distance vision. Furthermore the happening runs always liquid, and a perfect damage model, which brings not only optical, but also drivingtechnical effects with itself, confirms the very good graphic impression. After an accident more than only glass fragment lies on the roadway. The Replays that running shines likewise in all form and shows you apart from driven running gets ready to to details like the pressure or the temperature of the tires, approaches however not completely to a Gran the Turismos, where the happening works still more genuinly. In the play ' Forza ' does not look however clearly prettier than the category competitor and of nerve-killing edge flares from GT 4 is anything to be seen.

In things sound shoots the ' Microsoft ' - titles likewise the crown. No other running play offers such an bombastisches audio experience. The engines hammer in all first quality by your boxes and give you the feeling on a genuine racing course to be. One hears practically like each individual cylinder ignites. Besides the engines of all cars sound themselves again differently, which increases the realistic condition degree of the play again. ' Forza of engine haven ' is presented thus in any regard outstanding and holds the spielerische quality also within the technical range.
