Well at least it runs at 60fps right!? ...

The track, cars, and some of the hard scenery looks pretty good. The trees do look very flat, monochrome and painted on though. I haven' t looked at this game on the move yet, so how would you rate it over say PGR3 or 4s potential?

Forza has never been about graphics. It has always been about gameplay.
I didn' t expect much from the graphics, although this is somewhat below my expectations. But as long as it' s fun I' m happy.
GTHD makes Forza 2 look like it' s a generation behind though

BTW, Ferrari is celebrating its 60th anniversary right now.
Tomorrow Ferrari owners will hold a parade through Stockholm and will stay at Slottbacken from 13.00 to 15.00 for public exhibition.
Owners of Ferrari' s will have the honour of attending at a ceremony at the Italian embassy as well as enjoying a dinner at Grand Hotell.

It centrainly isn' t quite as pretty as I thought it would end up being, and as Ginji stated, GTHD(GT5), and most definitely the new PGR will make this look like as if it were a rushed launch title(graphics wise). I will still buy it though, as racing can still be fun with bad graphics, so long as the physics, tracks, customization etc is all there.

As a side note, I' m not a fan of all the advertisements. I' m ok with it if they are the same advertisements as the ones on the real tracks at the time, but I can guarantee you, no track has a 5 picture wide advert showing the nissan sentra, directed at the drivers and not the cameras or fans. There are a few others too. As people have said here before, if they are gonna use advertising, pass a bit of the funds on to the consumer through cheaper retail price, or prove to us that its better for us to have adverts in their games versus a competitor who has none.

These shots don' t look so good. Maybe that' s an accurate representation, but in and of themselves they' re kind of boring shots, aren' t they? Where' s all the other cars?

And speaking of the advertising... did anyone notice that there' s actually a typo in the Morgan Stanley logo? They' ve misspelled it as Morgan Stanely. That' s a mindblowing error. You know Morgan Stanley has paid to be advertised in this game; it' s not something that the developers were trying to mock-up because a freaking investment firm is so synonymous with racing culture and they couldn' t get the license... like back in the day when you' d pause a racing game and see a billboard for " Bridlestone" tires. Crazy.

On the plus side, I' m pleasantly surprised that there is at least one urban course because I wasn' t aware that there were going to be any.

I think its probably on par with GT Legends on PC, which is fantastic - these pics dont do it justice, from the HD video going round the net I can actually say the best gameplay view is bumper cam - its almost like the models break the immersion of the experience somehow this time around.. Like the realtime reflections too. But obviously thats expected this generation around.. I think it shuold play pretty good - but some of the engine sounds wernt as good as I had hoped - mind you the top cars sounded pretty awesome...

It looks really crappy.

It looks really boring, too. I hate Gran Turismo-esque games. They do not deserve to exist and people should not like them. Only games that give you a sense of speed from the first time you turn it on should be allowed.

It looks really crappy.

looks like one of the hundreds of off brand racing games on the ps2

The game still looks great in motion
