Forza Motorsports anyone? Who's getting it?

Anyone seen the commercial or some pics of this game on the XBOX? I was gonna get a PS2 just for GT4 but this one seems to be jsut as good graphics wise. All reviews seem to be really good and is scheduled to come out on May 3.

Plus it has the 2003 G35 Coupe on it. Gotta have the game that has our car in it. I like these real simulators better than tricking out my G on NFS Underground.

Also I heard a rumor about Xbox 360 (the new Xbox) gonna have 2 different prices. One is for $400 which is backwards compatible and has Web TV and another is a standalone unit for $300 - to be released sometime later this year....

Yeah but I dont have a PS2, only Xbox. All the reviews say this game is gonna be the ish and I think its also a true racing simulator? Either way I'll definitely pick it up when it comes out to check it out.

I would have to agree but for those who don't have a ps2 then I would go for the forza game or NFS Underground. I have NFS Underground 2 for PC too bad there's nothing else out there but they have a g35 coupe .

I have to admit NFSU2 is really fun. But...I hate the physics in the game. I think SRS did a better job with it than NFSU2 did. But NFSU2 is like hours and hours of fun. I'd play all three. But GT4 was one of the most awaited games to come out on PS2. It was worth it.

One of the main reasons for getting the XBOX for me was playing Live on it. I've seen PS2 played on the Net and damn was it laggy - Im sure some have a 56K connection. Making everyone have a broadband connection on the Xbox, you can play racing games like Forza on it and have it be pretty cool.

oh yea dude I used to be so in counter-strike that I won a compusa tournament (with 4 other dudes I knew) to go to LA and play in a national tournament sponsored by samsung called WCG (world cyber games). Ugh the good old college days when the "real world" didn't apply. Btw HL2 is tight and so is counter-strike: source but I can't wait until Day of Defeat Source comes out so me and my college buddies can play it (so much more fun than CS).

Here's the review on Gamespot. It shipped on the 3rd and comes out tomorrow. It seems to be getting just as good reviews as GT4. Only time will tell of course:
