I never said I never bought it.
But the facts are the things they could have fixed they didn't.
And the stuff they did fix is not that great for a supposed "next generation" game.
The game is not really an improvement over Forza 1.
I spent 2 hours this evening relaxing with it - and the they again took on more than they should have - the result is lots of neat features that are not really polished - even the features from Forza 1 that should have been featured.
And to me, watching an exciting replay in single player is at least 30% of the fun of any game.
This is the reason we all enjoy WATCHINGmotor racing - and not just from in-car or "floating CG" cameras
The model assets are not fantastic and the graphics is NOT "next gen".
It is a great game, and by 2002 or 2003 standard is an aweseom 9/10 - but in the terms of 2007 it is not a 9 by any stretch of the imagination
