"Customization, handling, presentation, AI, damage, multiplayer: Forza hits the bull's-eye time after time. Although it doesn't have quite the bewildering range of cars as Gran Turismo 4, Forza is its equal in gameplay, its superior in AI, and adds the online play GT4 lacked. In gaming, like in business, innovators rarely dominate the market they create for long, and Sony's got some catching up to do."

"More accomplished drivers may find it a little easy going at first. The single-player game slings out money and prize cars like candy, so it's easy to outpace the competition and end up with easy wins, even with the difficulty cranked to maximum. Even though the AI is strong and convincing, if you've got 100 horsepower over them, you'll only see them in your mirrors. Once you get a little way into the game, matters improve. Narrower car classes mean you have to think carefully about your tuning and setup, and the playing field gets a lot more level. Those seeking the fiercest of challenges will need to head for Xbox Live, though."

"I am quite impressed by the level of detail, if you think PGR is detailed, Forza blows it away. When you hit a metal fence, you actually feel and hear the fence scrapping the car! Graphically it is much more "technical" than GT4's blurring tricks to fool you, which does the job on non-techies, but Forza be prepared for eye candy. Pixel Shader is at work everywhere."

"First of all this is what everyone notices in any game when you first start to play and I must say that Forza has some of the best looking graphics I have EVER seen. It almost seems like im playing a next gen game. The car models are fantastic, enviroments are astondingly detailed. The Tokyo city track in particular is one that is just beautiful to look at."

Graphics:
The graphics are great and some of the attention to detail is absolutely amazing, they just aren't as good as we were expecting. - 8.5
Sound:
The sound is brilliant, with support for custom soundtracks and great engine noises. The in-game soundtrack is really good as well. - 8.5
Gameplay:
Smooth, refined pyschics which make the game a dream to drive. The game plays so well it is almost criminal. - 9.0
Lifespan:
Online modes, an extensive career mode and other modes will really make this game stand the test of time. - 9.0
Overall:
Gran Turismo has been dethroned, we have a new benchmark. - 8.5

Graphics:
Basically as good as the PS2 can produce. Highly detailed cars and tracks, all running at 60 frames per second. Sublime. - 10.0
Sound:
Brilliant engine recordings and a well varied soundtrack, but why can’t we pick a song during a race!? - 9.5
Gameplay:
The car physics are fantastic, and the sense of speed is back, but the lack of AI and no damage model are serious issues in this day and age. Why are they still issues after so many years? - 7.5
Lifespan:
Gran Turismo mode will last for months with a massive 700 cars to collect – far longer than most people will actually play it. Multiplayer is good, but the lack of online is unforgivable. - 9.0
Overall:
Scoring GT4 is difficult. It’s technically fantastic, great fun for car fans, and will last forever (despite the lack of online), but we’ve seen the same flaws in the same game since the days of the PSX. If you’ve never played GT before, add 1.5 to the score. If you own a wheel, add 1. For everyone else, do you really want a GT3 expansion pack? If so, grab this now. - 7.5

absolut spitze!
vor allem die parallelen und unterschiede zu gt4 sind schön dargestellt, oder auch der vergleich zu pgr 2!

bleibt zu hoffen, daß forza bald so in der zockergemeinde dargestellt ist, wie es bisher aufgrund einiger "pannen" nicht geschehen ist!

wenn man die verblendeten gt4 + forza fanboys mal außer acht läßt (mit denen man eh nicht sachlich diskutieren kann), hat man jetzt 2 hochwertige alternativen zur auswahl!

unterm strich (ich hab beide) setzt sich forza bei mir allerdings klar durch! weil es sich ganz einfach linearer spielt, das fahrverhalten erste sahne ist und es in sachen technik die nase vorn hat!
