Ask Quiggs, He's overly jealous.

I just played it on an exhibition match and the graphics are amazing, they've even got the little tents in the pits and stuff. You're right that it's not as challenging as GT4, I pretty much flew through it, but it was still fun, now I just need to get a converter and get my wheel for XBOX to work on my 360.

Yeah I guess that's true since in FM2 I've actually gotten some NON-Japanese prize cars.

Isn't that what he means?

So. I have no will power. I bought a Premium console and Forza 2 today. Ugh. I'm broke.

On the bright side of things, I have a Corrado VR with AWE race exhaust and it sounds like a real VR should sound. I <3 this game.

Edit: LOL @ Badda. <3
Edit 2: Yes, 360 is worth getting just for this.

I found the handling in FM2 is FAAAR easier than FM, however GT4 was a sinch compared to this, mainly because in GT4 you didnt have to worry about ****ing up your car, this you barely bump another car and youre looking at several hundred in damages. Come to think of it the damage is harder in FM2 than FM...

and the damage varies greatly...which is odd. Same car difereent race, same crash one was 5,500cr damage and the other like 1,600.

It depends on what you damage.

Front bumper: cheap.
Engine: expensive.

if you go into the pits they will fix any mechanical damage and save you a ton of money...

Some of the races are so close that this pits will cost you the race. I guess thats a good thing though

Thank you man 430gt!

When I say dumbed down, I mean that in a bad way. You can't have an easy Nordschliefe. That's the total opposite of the track. Every corner is so stretched out, it's not even a challenge.

I loved playing games with the 'Ring because I could easily use the track the way it's used in real life. For testing my cars, seeing how well they really perform under certain conditions. Looks like I can't do that in FM2, which is a shame with all those wonderful modifications available.
