Buy It Used July 26, 2010 Thomas O. Fort (SC) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased and played Forza II and was aggravated by a few things. I was really aggravated by the Nurburgring track. On Easy this thing was near impossible to win.
To me "easy" means over half of those who try succeed.
I don't see how that could have been the case with this track.
What do you do when programmers deliberately put you through this kind of "fun"?
I say buy their next game used, so they don't make anything off of it.
That's what I did with Forza III. I waited for the price to drop and for a used copy to be available, so Turn 10 wouldn't benefit from my purchase. If buyers take this approach on a large scale then programmers and developers will take notice. They may not care what you think but they do want your money.
I found Forza III to be more fair and less aggravating than Forza II. It's still true that If you choose "easy" you win by over five seconds a lap, but if you choose "medium" you will barely win, if you win at all. You cannot manage to get seperation between your car and the one behind you. You may be ten or fifteen seconds ahead of the third through eighth place cars but that second place car will be stuck to your bumper.
Isn't it possible to make something in between these two extremes? Of course it is! The question is: Why didn't Turn 10 make anything in between?
They could have simply added a slider from zero to one hundred percent that cut the power and/or traction of the computer controlled cars to 50 percent if you chose 50 percent. Then you could have set it exactly where you wanted it.
They chose not to. I think you should remember their choice when you make your purchase. I chose to buy used, I think you should too.
Excelent Game July 26, 2010 Gustavo Mendez (Costa Rica) This is one of the best racing game that i've ever seen!!!! Excelent graphics and amazing gameplay and the online is very competitive!!!
Awesome Racing Sim July 18, 2010 Angelo Dimitri Dodys 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
A fun, extremely detailed and polished Racing sim full of features. INSANE Value for your money. I highly recommend this.
Good one, Amazon ! June 23, 2010 Cristoper Najar Herrera (Costa Rica) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this game at Amazon. The game was really cheap even when it was a brand-new, sealed game. The game arrived timely and in perfect shape. I removed the seal and when I opened it, the two discs where absolutely new. The game also had a coupon to download a few extra cars and tracks, confirming that the game was new, as promised.
Cheap price, fast shipping, absolute quality for such a great game. Definitely, Amazon... my very first option for online purchasing.
Amazing for casual gamers June 20, 2010 Cyrus Master (Riverdale, UT) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
PROS:
1) A fantastic variety of vehicles by most major manufacturers.
2) A well-designed, calendar-based career mode, which paces your development without losing interest.
3) Great graphics are a prerequisite for this class of games, and Forza delivers. Moreover, the courses vary appreciably, so you
continue to be surprised and entertained.
4) The rewind feature prevents poor losers (like me) from being frustrated when they spin out on their last lap.
5) There's a place for both the casual customizer, as well as the detail-oriented. At it's simplest, there's a "quick update" menu item that will spend your hard-earned credits as the game thinks best. For more control, you can go into the detailed update feature, in which you can select stock, street or race-level components for a variety of vehicle parts. And for the true micro-managers, feel free to set your gear ratios, tire camber and spoiler downforce as you wish, though this level of adjustment never appealed to me.
CONS:
1) Waiting for my son to finish watching his DVD so that I can play.
