I'm dam tempted but tbh I really don't want to download the demo as I',ve only recently just started playing through Forza 2 for the first time and I don't won't the demo to tarnish that experience.

Yes !

feels like fm2 with a bit more weight to the cars, sounds pretty nice..

That's very good to hear, from my experience of Forza 2 so far they definitely could do with a tad bit more weight to them.

 

[Things change I've changed]

People are saying it feels a lot different to Forza 2, is that really the case ? and how so ?

I don't see it anywhere, on either my silver or my gold trial account. Is it only for people with a real gold account? :s

Yes.

Oddly enough I actually thought the cars moved too fast in Dirt 2 in relation to the environment, it didn't seem realistic at all, but then I think that's the difference between an 'arcade' game and Forza which is much more of a driving sim, and tbh I wouldn't really like to accept much under 60fps for a sim, even if that means it suffers graphically for it.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Yeah, this.

I find it distracting that when you finish a race at 60fps and go to the replay and summary screen, the frame rate drops (and i don't mean slow-down). I'd rather have the whole thing at a constant.

As long as it is consistent while your playing surely that's the most important factor, not sure how you can find the frame-rate distracting when your not actually playing the game.

 

[Things change I've changed]

I thought it was boring.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Ah opinions opinions. I wish we were all like-minded thoughtless peas in a pod that all liked exactly the same things.

The old peas in the pod adage @ this time in the morning !!

Anyway we're only only having light hearted jest mate , world would be boring if we all liked the same thing.
