^^^ He's right, the full damage mode has yet to be seen.
It is said to make the game extremely difficult as you can touch the wall and be quite dissadvantaged for the rest of the race. It hasn't been enabled during the demos as it's something you can only use once you are used to the physics of the game. Otherwise you have to restart every time you hit something - at 20mph let alone 150! Wouldn't make for much of a demo experience if you had to restart at the first corner 15 times.

Btw, finally played bmw demo lol, gotta say it's quite abit better then GT4p, the car rolls and tips in a much more realistic way, and I love the way the car bobs and bounces over bumps constantly. Very good indeed, I even found my self spinning once or twice on the nurb trying to take corners at PGR2 speeds, and being instantly slammed in to the walls, shame it only had one (well 2 if you count the diesel) car though (and a slow one at that). The Nurb looked quite good too in places, the track it self was pretty average looking, textures were pretty awful, but the overall look of it was quite cool and the trees, even though 2d looked really cool in the distance as there were LOADS of em. Other tracks looked GT4p quality, but the other one (not new york) is damn good fun (even if the much vaunted 3d spectators are rubbish). It's got some hairy first gear corners hehe. TBH I prefer these citta style tracks over the race tracks and city tracks, i find the steep inclines, sharp corners etc so much more fun then flat boring race tracks. The secenery is also far more interesting if you ask me, loads of palm trees etc 
. Loverly hehe.
This is probably what the final version probs plays like, and well, it's good (played with pad and driving force pro). Sound effects were still crap though.

Thanks for the small review code_kev

*bump*
Nice review code, wish I could get it

Aside from these two problems in the "review" it's good.
The tracks are average compared to what? lol...GT4 looks a bit above average compared to other racers..sooo...
The other things I did not like is your comment on the spectators...because we all know that the billboard flat spectators were better..*rollseyes*.
Nice review again, but you can't knock something that can't get better on a limited system like PS2. That's like knocking a guy riding a bike because he couldn't keep up with a motorcycle isn't it
lol. Nice review again.

Thanks peeps, I aim to please (nudge nudge, wink wink) 
I'm not suggesting the flat ones were better ofc, but the 3d ones seemed to lack...well motion, most of em stood still, which is fine in most cases (and it's fine here too), but after hearing all the "AI in spectators BS" here before, I thought I'd mention it. I'm aware it's PS2 limitations, and for a ps2 game, it's incredible.
TBH saying it looked average is abit misleading. I should have thought about that one abit more lol. Pretend I didn't say that
But anyway, as I said, it's great to play, still abit tame on the acceleration (
), but when you get going it's fantastic. 👍

No, but this is a GT4 vs Forza thread, so it's quite offtopic. You could make a topic of your own. For instance in this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=63
For instance in this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=63lol...I'm starting to think me and code might actually be capable of getting along, lol...
And I for one am not a fan of in cab views, they are a bit too...cluttered...for a racing sim, the "bumper" cam is fine, or maybe a view where you can see the hood etc...but the in car with full dash is a bit much.

New interview re: forza: http://www.xboxaddict.com/interviews/view_interview.php?Interview_ID=48
Note they DO NOT have Lamborghini! Could there be a slim chance that PD do?

That interview has me doubting their initial "tune it like you want" philosophy, what with the GT-ish "packages" they mention. What happened to the "thousands of real world parts" deal?
I can just picture them aping GT's clunky upgrade system. Shame.
About the Lambos... wasn't there supposed to be a game called Lamborghini game by Rage software? Or was that scrapped... Maybe they still have the license.

More new (forza) vids this time of a GT3 trying to go around Laguna: http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/682/682857/vids_1.html
Admit it or not this game is looking damn good and I can't wait till it comes out to have GT4 and an Xbox just for Forza. AI was a bit dumb though I must admit and i hate the NFS skidmarks.

I like it btw that GT4 wil have drop down menu's in the tuning section instead of the 3 layer thick menu's in GT3. Fast and simple.

No, their's only 17 tracks in Forza. He's probably talking about the career mode, where you do 60 events or something. If not, then what a surprise.
