Plus I didn't mention this before, but you get quite a bit more money with assists off. Don't forget to put your tranny on manual.
Not after I get a good setup on the car. My powerhouses have traction issues but a lot of times that's fixed by simply modulating the throttle more and waiting longer to go full-throttle once I leave the corner.

Turn 10 did say there will be a downloadable pack of cars. They didn't specify which cars, when, and at what cost. Right now I'm just building up all the money I could just incase they release the FG2 as a Unicorn car.

Only for one player? Where did you get that from? lol

Of course it has split screen man...that would be one of the dumbest ideas ever for a racing game not to include some form of split screen/multiplayer action.

Oh snap! That's crazy...I wonder why they have it listed as 1 player?

I just tried to find it on Walmart.com and Target.com and neither of those sites even list the number of players.

Trust me though, it's two player split screen. :)

it's definitely multiplayer. I've got it and have played it in online.

The MS Wheel works pretty good. If you decide on getting one Sams Club has them for $105, the best deal I've found on them. Gamestop has a sale on the Logitech one for $49, not sure about it.

It's a great game, I'm having a blast. I guess it would be cool to have an FA5 for FG2 in it though I drive one everyday.

Game is great... when you get the game, be sure to keep the assists off. It makes the car that much more realistic & fun. Well I do keep ABS on.

What's cool is that you can mod your car with parts that are similar to what people on this forum acquire in reality.

It's revealing that I could potentially screw up a really good driving car and waste lots of money by not knowing what I was doing when tuning. Makes me think twice about putting anything non-stock on my Si.

I might pick it up tomorrow! Buying it from a private seller on craigslist. Hopefully the deal falls through. GOSH I'm such a compulsive shopper...

Forza is a blast ya'll, hope you people who don't have it yet, or are getting it soon enjoy it.

I LOVE how you can do engine swaps now. I just dropped a K20 in the first car I ever owned in real life, a 93 Civic Si (94 Civic VTi in the game).

Here's some pics:





Since I have so much sentimental value with this car, I'm going to leave the body exactly how it is. This was my first car, since then I've moved on to an Evo Viii, or a 2002 Mugen Integra.

So, who is exactly playing with a wheel or the controller. Does the controller ruin the gameplay much? Those with Wheel, which one, how much, and how do you like it?

I'm playing with a controller. Cornering is less smooth as I'm finding it difficult to dial in just the right amount of a turn with the analog stick, however, this has rarely led to a problem for me.. not sure about everyone else's experiences. In previous games, I've always found the wheel to be ok, but the pedals on the floor to be awkward, but that's probably just my seating setup.
