I don't know where this game came from; I don't care where this game from, all I know is I am glad it is here. This game came out of nowhere, at a time where many of my online group was suffering from "Halo Burnout" and has rejuvenated our online gaming experience. This game is a hell of a lot of fun for both single player modes and multi-player modes. There is so much in this game, with so many different cars and different options you can make just about any customizable race experience imaginable. Into the Honda/Mitsubishi/Subaru car customizations? This game has it. Would you prefer NASCAR style racing? This game has it. Think you have the perfect design for a custom car and just want to show it off? This game can hook you up. (See http://tabwin.com/forza.htm for an example of custom designs people have come up with)

Features:
-Over a hundred different types of cars from manufacturers such as Honda, Mitsubishi, Ford, Dodge, Audi, Volkswagen, Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche just to name a few.

-Race for cash, rank, or fun in single player mode, a single player career mode, arcade mode, or multiplayer mode.

-Custom soundtracks with X-Box music stored on your hard-drive.

-Customize Paintjob of your car to suit your personal tastes.

I am not a racing fan, but this game is definitely one of my all time favorite Xbox games. A must have.

Awesome Racing Game

I recently got myself an XBox and was advised to rent and try before I buy. Blockbuster was out of Halo2 so I got this one home to try it out (I am a big fan of racing).

Before I say anything further I'd have to mention that this is my very first game on XBox so I cannot compare it to any other games.

Was I glad I rented it? Yes, Will I buy it? Yes.

It's a little pricey at $40+ when compared to other games but then again it has a great game in it.

As for the game itself it has a whole bunch of race tracks and customizable cars (categorized into Classes from R to D) with time trials, free runs and ofcourse the race arcades themselves.

I'd suggest spending $7 and renting it before paying $40+ for your own copy.

Great game

This is a good game to buy. It has a wide variety of cars and courses. The graphics look amazingly real and the cars appear to handle with the same accuracy. Great all around game. There are also countless ways to customize any car that you own. This is a must for any racing collection.

Great for all styles of driving.

If you like drifting, adjust your settings, and you can. If you just like to customize cars, you can do that. This is an amazing game, and for the price...just buy it.

no problems

I agree with all the rave reviews for this product. The one thing that is a must, in my opinion, is having a racing wheel to use with this game. The early stages are fine without one, but once you get in high competitive races near the end (single player) then the quirky thumbstick just doesn't hack it with jerky movement on corners.

A definite contender against Gran Turismo.

This game surprised me in how good it is, especially considering its the first in the series. It has a lot of cars, and some brands that Gran Turismo couldn't get its hands on. For some reason the cars look strange at first, and I just can't figure out why, but you get used to it. The customization is great. The physics and controls feel pretty good as well. The various sound effects are all well done. There is a wide variety of tracks, some real and some made up.My main gripe besides the cars seeming weird is that the game is incredibly easy compared to Gran Turismo. If you're a fan of racing games you should give this a shot.

Excellent Racing Game

Microsoft has finally released something to compete with the current heavy weight champion "Gran Turismo" and they have done a very good job with it. The tracks are diverse, well replicated, and very realistic. The cars represent many different brands and several eras of cars, anyone will find something they like in here. The tuning is incredible, you can do everthing from changing the spoiler, adding a rollcage, buying a new exhaust, new ECU anything! Then what makes it even better is you can then go into the tune menu and adjust everything, if you know what you are doing you can perfect a car for certain tracks. The gameplay is pretty good, some of the races can be frustrating because they are hard to beat, but that only adds to the fun of getting good at it. The menus do a good job of organizing tons of information into very intuitive and usable categories. It is somewhat difficult to progress through the game and unlock cars but not too hard. The driving physics are very realistic and take some getting used to with a game-controller, the learning curve is probably about an hour, and then you can never stop getting better with practice. I reccomend this to anyone who is moderately serious about racing games and wants a challenge, it may be too challenging and frustrating for the younger ones

Best Game on the xBox. Period.

This game is a copy of Gran Turismo on the PS2, however, be thanksful Microsoft created it. Compared to Gran Turismo 4, this game feels more real and cars react more realistically. It also has car damage. However, the PS2's GT4 has better graphics, more cars, and a rally series. The rally series in GT4 is almost a game by itself and the best rally experience out there. Having said that, GT4 is better because of the rally, but Forza isn't far behind and lets you play online and customize cars more than in GT4. This game is jewel and the best experience for the xBox.

This isn't Grand Turismo for sure!

Graphics are OK, the "feel" isn't nearly as good as many racing games I've played. I often found myself braking too late. Who knows, maybe this game is more realistic than most, but it sure doesn't feel like it.
