Anybody Else Not Getting Forza 2?

Don%26#39;t get me wrong Forza 2 is an amazing game!  I downloaded the demo, played it, and I was amazed on how much detail was put into it.  I remember being at the starting line, reving up my engine, then off I went, but then there was that first turn.  I crashed onto the wall and a hand full of parts came off my car, and it looked beautiful when it did.  The last racing game I played were PGR and Burnout for the 360 and these racing games are more arcade-like.  Forza 2 is not a joke, it%26#39;s as real as it gets, but I guess it%26#39;s too real for me.  I lean more towards arcade-like racing games like Burnout.  I played the GT demo for my PS3, but it has nothing on Forza 2. I know the hardcore racing fans will definately love this game and I hope they%26#39;ll enjoy it.  I%26#39;ll be saving that $60 for another game.  But I%26#39;ll surely rent it or even wait and get a used one.  So anybody else not getting Forza 2?Forza 2 >>>>>> Ridge Racer >>>>>> GTHD Anybody Else Not Getting Forza 2?

It%26#39;s visuals are just like it%26#39;s a sim. But it%26#39;s not. It%26#39;s like Ridge Racer only somewhat more realistic power slides. 
I respect your decision and appreciation of the game despite that it is not your taste. Most people would just say the Demo sucks, the game sucks, I suck, and so on. Do me a favor though. Once it comes out give it a rent and give the customization a spin if you have never played Forza 1. I used to feel the same way you do, but once I tried Forza 1 all that changed. The sheer amount of options is impressive and if you spend a little time working on your car, you can give it that arcade feel.

Getting DIRT instead.
[QUOTE=''ball_of_air'']Getting DIRT instead.[/QUOTE]  Theirs  no way you can compare DIRT to Forza 2, because it%26#39;s 2 completely different racing genres (rally - track racing)
I will definately be getting this its one of my most anticipated games also DiRT looks an awesome game another which i will more than likely get.
I wont, it%26#39;s not my type of racing games, I like nfs or burnout games better. Though Forza2 is probably a really good game if you like that type of games.
I guess now we can seperate the ADD kids from the normal ones now! Forza rocks!
I don't like Racing games because too me there isn't much to it. You race around and that is basically it. I won't get it.
the thing i know for sure is that im never going to buy an nfs series game anymore, there where some good games in it, but now its all burnout arcade, i dont like it. I%26#39;m still playing forza 1 even on my xbox360 even more then other games ( motogp 06, saints row wwe vs. raw pgr 3 i keep on returning to forza)
I%26#39;m certainly not buying it at launch, I%26#39;ll pick it up later when it is a whole lot cheaper.  Only because I got Forza 1 at launch back in the day and lost interest quickly, went back to PGR2 and never looked back.
I believe I will be getting this game, my only problem with it was the reflections on the cars look horrible.  I have been waiting for a good sim racer for awhile and I believe this will be it.
I have never gotten into Simulation Racing games. I was about 13 when the original Gran Turismo came out, I didnt have a job and saved up for a looong time to get that game. I never liked it, and luckily my birthday followed soon and I got Metal Gear Solid...have never turned back.I dont know, I just never got into the whole *doing stupid tests to get licenses, BEFORE i could actually race* I wont knock the game, or the genre, I just havent attempted it since Gran Turismo. I never played Forza, but I am intriged and will (for the first time in a while) rent this game and give the genre another try.But with new maps for Gears of War, a list of other games sitting on my shelf (Lost Planet, Rainbow Six:Vegas, G.R.A.W. 2, MLB2k7) I dont think I will be buying this. However I am REALLY looking forward to Shadowrun, Mass Effect and Blue Dragon.

judging from the demo the amount of detail and graphix is amazing it looks good but I think its too realistic for me ...i will be getting Dirt instead
Do they still have those lines on the road to tell you how much to brake?
I kinda got a weak feeling for this game. I would say that would be a false opinion because I feel the Forza demo was very limited and I do understand why. My opinion, gonna have to get the full version so I actually can enjoy the upgrades, more tracks, cars, and and the finer things of the game. I enjoy all racing games but I feel the Forza Demo could have been a bit better and demostrated some of its fruits. Demo reminded me of same feeling I had playing the Crackdown demo after that experience wanted no part of the game but all my friends insisted give it a chance, so I bought Crackdown. I enjoyed the short game but had a blast looking for orbs. I may have to wait on this game. [url=http://profile.mygamercard.net/Snyperman][img]http://card.mygamercard.net/gelsig/green/Snyperman.png[/img][/url]

You can not break around a turn you have to break before or else your tires wont be able to hold enough pressure to get around the turn... or something like that :P lol
