No news on a new Forza, and who cares if it's old? it's only 40/50 bucks now, bloody cheap for what is (supposedly) a great game.

It's still not a bad buy at all, and find me a better racer on the 360.

GRID is an awesome game. Graphics, gameplay, time travel... however I still have a tough time racing. XD

Argh, I can't beat the record-breaker achievement, where you have to go around the Grand Curcuit under a certain amount of time. What car do I need to beat it?

You can do it as a quick race, using any car you want. I've tried the R10, but that just can't handle the corners.

So I decided to download the demo after stumbling over this thread to see how the game really is (actually, my roommate bought the game a few days ago because he and I quote, "was bored") and I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. This game is awesome. The driving physics are just right, not too arcadey but not a mission to drive either. I especially love the drifting, even though it's hard and takes time to perfect, I don't find it frustrating at all.

Now, time to get my hands on the full game.

Bought it for $30 at Fry's Electronics three days ago.

Impressions? Well, wow, this game is great. I love the crew system and how the cars handle, although it is a little difficult without a wheel and with TC off. The R34 is fun to drive, although it sounds inaccurate (but I can ignore that). Honestly this game feels like what the sequel to Juiced should have been.

I find it much more difficult WITH a wheel...I tried my Driving Force GT and I had to keep steering to keep it in a straight line. I'll keep the steering wheel for GT thanks...

I'm pretty sure you do. I'm not current on it but I do remember reading something about how Steam doesn't want anybody to pay for content, but Codemaster's did. Not quite sure who won that battle.

(Source: Some thread on the Codemaster's Forum I ran across a while back.) :wink:

Steam NEVER wants anybody to pay the actual game publisher for content. Instead they want people to pay THEM for the actual game publisher's content. You see how that works? :wink:

most games that come out for XBOX, PS3, and are available for computer, usually have the computer version get the shiznit version.

keyword: usually.
