Gran Turismo to Forza>>>

So I bought the game today guys.

It's structured pretty similarly to Gran Turismo, and I felt my skills would transfer fairly well...I was wrong.

Took a while to get into it; I took my baby (Skyline GTR V-Spec 2) onto Nurburgring in Arcade mode and had a few laps of a familiar circuit, then went to Laguna Seca for a while before I started my career.

It's fair to say that this game is AWESOME.
I'm delighted, I've just finished the "Proving Ground" part of career mode and I've settled in well.
I have the difficulty set to full, apart from Anti-Lock braking which I just can't be without.
The simple fact that damage is on makes each race a heart-stopper, which is exactly (quite rightly) how I think it should be.
The only thing that is annoying me is that the game seems to think that even when the AI crash into me - it's my bloody fault and I get penalised.

Aside from that little niggle, I've nothing bad to say at all.
Happy happy happy days indeed

Same here, I'm always looking for some people to race with online. Just got this game and my 360 last Friday.

Once I'm online with the game I will.
I've never played online before so I'm wet-behind-the-ears.
I have all the equipment there to do it but from what I see my XBOX internet cable will need lengthened, or I need to get the wireless adapter for the console.

But once I'm on, go easy on me as I'll be totally new to it.
There'd be nothing more demoralizing than never having a chance....

Apparently my GTAG is Rikki Starr, but I've not registered it online yet so I'll let you know mate.

I'll have to leave it for a few weeks to let the dust settle with the wife.
If I went out tomorrow and spent another £40 on "Another GAME!!???" there'd be hell to pay.

In fairness I'll likely get it within a week or two, and it'll take me longer than that to get round half of Liberty City.

No, I actually got it on Monday for £19.99 from GAME.
I just assumed it'd be £40 before I even checked!!
I've been playing it non-stop.
Love Nurburgring, that was my favourite circuit on Gran Turismo too.

I've just noticed that I can add a new body kit to my Skyline.
Along with that and a new paint job I'm going to have a seriously sexy car.

If Emmerdale would hurry up and bloody finish.
Women.
