So James, ghoonk's uncle, came over to the workshop on Saturday to give us a preview of Forza Motorsport 2.
Having had some practice with the downloaded demo a couple of days earlier, and also having extensively played the first installment, it wasn't too much of an adjustment to get used to the controls again.
First, the good points. Graphically it has been cleaned up, with a much higher level of detail. New tracks, and more customization options. The audio, it's perfect. The exhaust of an E46 M3 roaring down the Nurburgring is exactly how it sounds like, with the unmistakable induction noise gaining in pitch around 6000 RPM. A stroked up 4G63 sounds exactly like the agricultural beast that it is.
Some things that I noticed: the SLR doesn't have the rear air brake popping up to assist in hard braking. The wireless steering wheel is a little too sensitive, making the wireless controller the de facto choice when really racing in earnest.
Definitely looking forward to this title when it launches on the 29th.
