as far as the game goes.. so much fun! the graphics and audio is really good

but my TT keeps getting plwnd by a b5 s4 in the AWD circuit (but i kinda figured it would :P )

That's because it's the old TT.

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

I went in to F/S while the wife was in linens and things. I was going to buy just the wheel as I really want it and was going to hold off on Forza. Once I saw the wheel on sale (and the game is 59 right now) I walked out with both.

I actually really want to try the wheel on DiRT when it comes out.

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

I got the wheel and Forza 2 yesterday at Future Shop. I suck at it. Apparently I need to learn how to drive.

It helps if you think of it as a car rathr than a video game...

I want an xbox so bad now... only not bad enough to pay for it

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

I don't really want to sign into live... anyone have a banned xbox they want to sell me cheap?

Not sure they can ban the xbox, just your Live subscription. Not the end of the world I guess if you don't use your credit card you can just get another one but you'll lose however many months are left.

I never thought I'd say this but I think live really helps make the console for me. Especially if you have friends that game as you can do lots of co-op and vs. which is cool.

Anyway, I'm loving the wheel, so fun and you can really feel the changes as you upgrade the car. The force feedback seems pretty realistic too.

Bill, I think everyone is slower or "worse" with a racing wheel, no matter the game or platform. I just tell myself it's way more fun so I don't care

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

I need to try the wheel before I decide whether or not to get one. But so far I don't mind the controller; it's pretty easy to adjust the throttle / brakes with the triggers. Shifting can get a bit tricky sometimes though...

We need to organize a Eurodrivers Forza 2 night on Live.

Who's up for it?

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

well i've been playing quite a bit in my free time but i'm at like level 20ish now.. i have lots of cars.. a nice modded TT, B5 S4 and then the ones you win along the way.. saving up for a new rs4 still haha

but why can you only sell cars for 100bucks?? thats stupid so i just keep them all

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

You can always auction your prize cars on Live, Ryan. But yeah, it kinda sucks that you only get $100.

They ban the xbox and not the live account. Therefor you can use an unmodded xbox and still sign in. There is new firmware trickling out that supposedly fixes it so you don't get banned (if you are banned you are SOL).

Do you have an article on it? I've been curious how they "ban" people. I was pretty sure it was the live account but that was the old live.

Re: Anybody buy forza 2 yet?

BTW, not sure if anyone on here will know this but.......

Are Renault Clio V6's really that horrible (ok, maybe hard is a better word) to drive? They seem like a fat pig, it can't turn in and gets the tail out with anything other than perfectly smooth throttle input? Not to mention it should be able to accelerate quicker than a VX220 or an Elise but it's not that much quicker.

I've always loved that car from the time it came out, not sure why just do. But man it's hard to drive, even in the original game it was tough.

I think my favorite stock car by far is the Lancia Delta Integrale(?)that I won. Man that car is fun, so much control (which can be felt with the wheel). And quick too, I want one!
