Forza Motorsport (Xbox, 2005)

The car selection is awesome Carrera GT, F40, 333SP, 246 GT, S7 + GT, GTS, And P1 race cars from JGTC, ALMS, and Speed World Challenge... - not as many cars as Gran Turismo, but all of the cars in the game are very cool. Most of the cars in Gran Turismo, you don't use anyway once you've gone a bit into the game... The Damage simulation definitely adds a different quality to the game over GT4 - you are much less likely to make a crazy (and unrealistic) move that could damage your car and force you to pit...

Opportunities for improvement: Multiplayer (non xbox live) only includes 2 cars, it would be nice to be able to choose the addition of other AI cars in addition to you and your pal. Also, there are endurance races, but none that are very long - 1.5 - 2 hours... Would like to see something longer. And one last thing: In single player mode,you cannot just choose any car on any track and get comparable competition - Arcade mode forces the user to use only cars within a certain segment for that course. Would like more flexibility there.

Overall though, I love this game and rarely play GT4 anymore. Just the fun of the GTS 550 Maranello on Laguna Seca alone makes this one worth getting! Hope this was helpful.
