you can resume it by "we don't know much about forza or gt4 but forza is on xbox so it blown away gt4"

Well IMO Rallisport 2 > GT4 by a large margin, so what makes Forza so special?

It read nothing like that.


IGN has some better previews, the most recent being from cars.ign.

This is one of the most accurate physics models we have ever seen in a racing game, even beating out GT. But this high degree of realism brings a high degree of difficulty. Sim fans will love it, but fans of arcade-style racers will curse with frustration. And they will curse often.


Try to take a turn too quickly, like we did with our front-wheel drive Civic R, and the car will exhibit significant amounts of understeer and crash into a wall. Hop in the Ferrari Enzo and mash on the throttle, and the extreme torque will cause the car to be damn near uncontrollable--forcing it to crash into a wall. This may not sound like fun, but this would be the same result should you try this in real-life. As we said, this game takes accuracy to the extreme.

The customization in Forza is what looks so special to me, being able to do engine swaps will be great.
