forza 2 looks great!!! probably ditching all my other racing games for this. about the review, they didnt talk about the racing wheel at all. i thought they would mention it, also i heard that forza 2 doesnt have the dashboard view that PGR3 has. is this true?

Saw this a bit earlier. I think this will be one of the higher scoring reviews.

it is dissapointing to hear that games are goin down in the graphics department to fit more things in the game, i expected this too look amazing and it doesnt, i have also read that games like madden have gone back in the graphics to satisfly gameplay, i wish games could have both, maybe a higher capacity disk is needed and then forza could run at 60fps and looks great graphically

To get an example of this, try maxing out some settings on a PC game then watch the framerate. It will drop dramatically. In a racing game, i believe that gameplay and framerate needs to be solid instead of graphics.jsut look at guitar hero...can you imagine if there were framerate drops in that??? it would ruin the timing and thus the game

well if you go back and see graphics for forza 1, you'll see that we still get supreme graphics. we just dont realize it cuz we have been playing the 360 for awhile.
I highly doubt GS will give it a AAA rating, but you never know.
It's really odd that the graphics are so average, Forza on the original Xbox looked amazing so I really don't know what happened here, no excuse especially on 360. Still, gameplay is really what it's all about so it doesn't matter much to me, getting it and an MS wheel this week!
[QUOTE=''Ranger_x8b'']I highly doubt GS will give it a AAA rating, but you never know.[/QUOTE]brian will be reviewing the game.  go read his preview.  he's in love with the game.  i'm thinking 9.4-9.6 .
The graphics look nice IMO  i dont know why everyone is complaining. Do i think they could have been better? Yea, They surely will be come Forza 3 but the dillema Turn10 was probably facing was how do we make a realy good game in this amount of time? The anser is Forza 2. Like all jobs there is a timeline witch you have to complete your game. 
I can't believe how hard people are crying about the graphics.  First off, the graphics are fine, this is not an ugly game by any stretch of the imagination.  Secondly, if someone would choose not to play this game because of it's graphics, then they are totally missing the point of what will make this game ultimately rock.
