Forza Motorsport™ Races To Critical Acclaim
At The 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo

— Microsoft Game Studios’ Newly Announced Racing Simulation Among
“Best Racing Games” of E3 —

At the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Microsoft Game Studios proudly rolled Forza Motorsport out of the garage to much fanfare and critical acclaim. In recognition and anticipation of the first fully-customizable driving simulator for Xbox®, Forza Motorsport was nominated for the Game Critics Award for “Best Racing Game” at E3, which will be awarded on Tuesday, June 8, 2004.

Slated to hit stores this holiday season, Forza Motorsport will offer Xbox gamers and car enthusiasts the opportunity to own, customize, upgrade and race their favorite cars in the most realistic driving simulator on Xbox.

Racers will be challenged to accumulate earnings to tune-up their rides with upgrades like engine swaps, bolt-on superchargers and suspension kits. Gamers can also “trick-out” their creations with sleek, new paint schemes and upgradeable parts including body kits, rims, spoilers, decals, side skirts, fender flares, hood scoops and decals from over 150 aftermarket motorsport partners. Gear heads will love the process of creating their very own high-performance racing machines by transforming one of hundreds of different models from 60 of the world’s top car manufacturers including Ferrari, Porsche, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chevrolet, BMW, Mazda and Dodge. Forza Motorsport will supply the canvas and tools for a tuner artist’s racing masterpiece.

True passion for cars and racing transcends more than mere competition – it’s about learning every car’s strengths and weaknesses, discussing driving techniques with friends and sharing your best work in the garage with the world. With full Xbox Live™ compatibility and innovative new ways to compete and communicate online, Forza Motorsport gives gamers the ability to flex the muscles of their custom performance-tuned creations against the best the online world has to offer.

but gran turismo 4 will be better

Nothing will top GT4.

Yeah, the GT series is most diffinately the bench mark. GT4 will have it goin' on!

The screen shots of the Forza game look okay, but traditionally there is just something about XBox driving sims, it's just odd, like your driving a sled. Cool thing about this game is that it expands on the idea of customizing your car - with engine swaps, paint schemes, body kits, decals and stuff like that. If I hadn't seen the screen shots, I might think it was a ricer game.

GT 4??? Where's the damage? The gameplay is too slow and the online play is even worse.

www.forzamotorsport.net...check it out for yourself!

the option for car damage in GT4 might be nice, but this is not the developers fault, licensing restrictions prohibit the cars from showing damage. Why this is not the case for some other games who knows. Maybe because they are not as realistic as the GT series, and nobody will take them seriously anyway? Anyway, bottom line is who wants a damaged car anyway? That would be worse than tires that wear out in two laps.

The speed of GT play is just as it should be - realistic.

Online gaming is overrated.

Xbox went out and got licensing from over 200 car companies...plus how are you going to know how good you really are when you can't play GT4 online? You might be the best of your friends, but you won't be better than me!

Prove it...

[wEstSide]

I'll be better than you. You just do time trials pretty much. *hoping for hillclimb mode*

[LateNightCable]

Forzagamer, it's best not to claim you could beat someone unless you're sure you could back it up.
