couple of questions i hope some might know with the imminent release of this game!!

1/ whats the difference between the normal game and the ltd edition?

2/ how many players online

3/ have they incorpated an in car view as well as them awfull car views last time?

1) Ltd edition will probably have a spangly box, a DVD and some free XBox Live car downloads. That is usually what happens.

2) Eight players online I think...

3) I haven't seen an in-car view, so I assume it isn't in there. With 300+ cars available off the bat, I'd be surprised to see it.

I can't wait for this, I haven't been this excited about a game since the original GT. Nearly a decade ago would you believe....

Here's a nice site with more details on the game. Some video replays and screenshots in there of course.

I have just found some details on the LE version of the game.

It will have tin box packaging (to be expected).

Three additional cars available, Subaru Impreza S204 (2006), Ferrari Challenge Stradale (2003) and Ford Saleen Mustang S281 E.

And a 157 page collectors booklet with details on the making of the game, car specs etc...

Also, I think I heard there is a download code to allow buyers of the LE to download the modified Nissan 350Z on the cover from XBox Live.

So it's worth getting I'd say.

i can confirm that forza 2 is out in europe on June 8.

JerH77 · 9 May 2007, 00:20 (Ref:1909513)

Do you know when it comes out in the United States roachy101?

roachy101 · 9 May 2007, 18:16 (Ref:1910050)

it's released on may 30th

Knowlesy · 9 May 2007, 18:32 (Ref:1910062)

It changes every day. I tend to think we'll get it in June 2012.

Is anyone else getting annoyed with the delay for the demo as well? Dear god, it's taking ages. It was supposed to be out with the 360 dashboard update.

It's not reaching Gran Turismo levels of delay, but it's getting there!

Knowlesy · 9 May 2007, 19:11 (Ref:1910101)

Ah, apparently the demo is hitting Live in the next day, possibly hours.

Rockmunky · 9 May 2007, 19:15 (Ref:1910107)

Give it five minutes, it'll change again.

Knowlesy · 10 May 2007, 17:26 (Ref:1910471)

Downloading now.

Rockmunky · 10 May 2007, 18:04 (Ref:1910510)

I retract my previous statement.

So er... any good?

Knowlesy · 10 May 2007, 18:09 (Ref:1910514)

The download speed is excellent.

Rockmunky · 10 May 2007, 18:22 (Ref:1910524)

Oh right.... i forgot

Knowlesy · 11 May 2007, 13:17 (Ref:1911074)

It is very good!

Nice demo too, plenty of cars. Although only one short track.

jimmer · 11 May 2007, 15:50 (Ref:1911173)

The handling is pretty good cant wait for the full game now!!

dj choc ice · 11 May 2007, 18:11 (Ref:1911255)

its damn good, so good i decided to pre-order it from gameplay last night, although its going to majorly distract me from fitness training and make me the first couch potato fitness freak athlete

Love the look, great graphics and environmental effects. Hate that the demo has only lowest skill setting AI, shouldn't be able to beat the E36 with an Integra R but it's not even a challenge in the demo. Also haven't seen a damage effects selection and it has no effect on driving in the demo. And the real-time telemetry extras are pretty amazing, can block the racing view some but cool for practice and tuning setups to the tracks. Have driven every car already and need a new track, the demo one is way too short.

Rockmunky · 16 May 2007, 19:57 (Ref:1914911)

Oh... i wish i had a 360, i love Forza 1..... I'm slightly disgruntled that i can't get my grubby mitts on the sequel.

TheFLC · 17 May 2007, 12:07 (Ref:1915300)

Very much sitting and waiting for FM2

I have the wireless wheel and it's a perfect match. Even without the extra tweaking that will be in the final release. I'll be on the lookout for some clean racers on release, my gamertag is TheFLC.

Rockmunky · 17 May 2007, 15:28 (Ref:1915401)

My mate downloaded the demo for me today, so i had a bit of a play.

I only got to do one race, but the cars seem to handle quite well, and still have that feeling of weight, which is nice.

I'd like to play more though...

Cryos · 20 May 2007, 13:32 (Ref:1917234)

Downloaded Forza 2 off live the other day and all i can say is "WOW" the car physics are beautifull; I have been driving it with all the aids and abs off in manual and alot of the cars are a handfull to drive

! Corvette GT1 car i cant get to keep straight when i floor it

Will Definatly be getting it!!!

Knowlesy · 20 May 2007, 14:26 (Ref:1917258)

The Corvette is great fun!

The problem with the demo is it is on a crappy track and on arcade mode which makes the next 18 days seem too long!

Still, there is always Forza 1.

One thing I hope is fixed for release is the engine sounds. They are spot on in terms of their accuracy, but far too quiet. I've had to adjust all the sound parameters to 30%, with the engine set to 100% and turn the TV up which is annoying.

roachy101 · 20 May 2007, 17:13 (Ref:1917350)

the demo is awesome. can't wait to through the 98 porsche round the nurburgring

Rockmunky · 20 May 2007, 21:01 (Ref:1917493)

I must get myself a 360.. i must, i must, i must....

Knowlesy, got the webcam for the 360?
