Post subject: Forza on Xbox
Archived from groups: alt>autos>ferrari (more info?)

(My apologies if this has been discussed before) So my fiance purchases
a used Xbox for her son. I immediately go to the video store to rent
Project Gotham Racing, but they have only the Xbox 360 version. So, I
rent Forza. And what do I find in there but Tiger's Mustang! I thought
that was so cool - and I almost beat Cody in a Gallardo! But I lost
control, jumped a guardrail, hit a tree, skidded back onto the track
minus rear valance and one tire, so that was that. Two more races, on
different tracks, brought pretty much the same result so I had to switch
to an ungodly Skyline GT-R for the 4wd.

However, Forza certainly offered a damn fine and quick rendition of your
car and I enjoyed driving it, nice sound and excellent driving feel -
until I, well you know. I was actually disappointed in the Ferraris
offered and I really think Ferrari made a mistake limiting themselves to
Xbox games only. Gran Turismo 4 is the superior game.

Hey, wow - I just scored a trifecta!! The ham and swiss sandwich I am
eating has: a spot of mold on the bread, a cat hair on the place, and
one of Rochelle's exceedingly long hairs on the ham! YUM!!

Well, I certainly think it's cool!

Hey! Way to treat other people's things.

Considering Microsoft didn't ask us for our input at all when they were
rendering my car, it did turn out pretty accurately. (They got images
from SCCA.) However, since they didn't actually talk to us, the specs
on the car are totally wrong.

I've never actually played Forza, but I do like Gran Turismo.

Hmm, I don't actually remember the last time I had a meal in this house
that didn't involve cat hair or at least the avoidance of cat hair.
Kitty fuzz seems to appear out of nowhere at times.

I find out now that Ferraris - at least the 599 - will be showing up in
the next iteration of GT, working title for which is now "GT HD"

Oh yeah - and now that I'm working at a pet store more oriented to farm
stock, etc., the cat hair is getting mixed with alfalfa, bermuda,
timothy, etc. - the hays of the world. And of course there's litter
dust and the little nuggets that come off their feet, and ....

That's cats. I wouldn't give up my two for ANYTHING.

550 Maranello. Good 1st Ferrari? - My only experience driving a Ferrari was in 1985 when a friend allowed me to drive his 1979 512BB Boxer. Car was stunning to look at but a handful to drive. How is the 550 Maranello in comparison?. Heavy clutch?, manuverable at low speeds?.
