So, it sounds like Forza, but more so. I doubt there's any shocks in there, but who's getting it and who's excited? I'm looking forward to the Car Club mode so we can share our cars and designs around the NTA!

This game looks gorgeous, but I'm simply not a racing fan in general. I like arcade style games here and there: Split Second, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. But, I don't know the first thing about car mechanics or any of that, and I feel like in order to be successful at these type of games, you have to know this stuff.

Pre-ordered and ready.

Forza is pretty good with it's accessibility settings, you can add extra assists or make the A.I easier and it has a never ending rollback function so you can redo turns you mess up (in single player). I went through the entire campaign of Forza 3 without tweaking my cars (I did buy plenty of upgrades but that's pretty easy to see what that will do to your car thanks to some graphs and text showing differences).

Plus know what car to use for what race isn't too difficult either as each car is placed in a class and you just have to select a car that matches the races class (or other restrictions like country).

As well as all the racing support tools that make the game more accessible (which I'm assuming will have carried across from FM3) it looks as if the career mode has even less requirement for knowing cars and for constantly searching for a new car to race. I think you could almost spend the entire World Tour mode in just one car, should you want to. It'll be interesting to see how that works in the full game.

The only Forza game I played was the first one and I loved it. But ,after Grid , I lost interest in the genre and in cars in general.
Now I have been playing the demo and I remembered how fun this game was and how many hours I spent modifying and customizing the Lamborghini Gallado (I <3 Lamborghini). Still, I am not sure if I will get on release it or not since there are other games I want to play right now.

What with my non-existent capture card and my non-existent copy of the game, not to mention my non-existent charisma and personality when it comes to recording things? I just thought it might be a useful look at the game for people who are excited .

I've just realised there's a good chance I could be away from home when this gets delivered! Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I may take the unprecedented step of packing up my Xbox and taking it with me to my parents' house, then changing the delivery address on my pre-order...
