Which would you prefer, and WHY?
Personally I never played PGR4, i love the weather effects,and bikes. BUT it does not have all those tiny details in FORZA2 whether its Upgrading your car.
In PGR4 you can make custom paints and stuff, BUT is nowhere near what FORZA 2has.
I say FORZA 2
I think for the true racer, Forza has that little bit more to offer like the Car upgrades, Paint, Engine Mods etc. However, PGR4 does it for me. Its more of a free flowing Arcade style Racer that just has me hooked, Forza is just gathering dust now. Some of the senarios on PGR are just great, like the Invite race where you race a 1950's F1 car accross Ice and snow! fanstatic! with Forza after reaching level 25 i got bored and could not face the endurance races, Yawn!!!.
Forza for the Car mechanic.
PGR4 for the Driver.
For a long time I was sold on PGR2, when I finally got a 360 I thought I would try PGR3, that lasted one night. Then I downloaded the the demo for PGR4 and ya maybe its a good game, however Forza 2 has to be the one that gets my vote. Forza 2 is the "everything in one game". whether your a serious racer or if you like "Last Man Standing, or Cat and Mouse", Full simulation, or limited. Forza 2 is now my fav racing game.
Yea Forza is more realistic for sure, you'd never be able to pull the stuff off in PGR 1-4 in real life. The only problem is with Forza is no car interiors, so basically a graphics thing. But if you really want to feel what its like to drive a euro/japan car, i do find american cars are without parts that make them handle much better. Again Forza is pretty sim, so your fun factor is pretty low, its more in tune with doing model cars, except now you can drive them and they're like their real life counterparts to the best of todays technology.
But again Forza 2 gathers dust, while i'm trying to play through PGR 3 which i've been avoiding since i got my system and that game with it. And its just mind blowing arcade fun, after awhile it gets old, and sometimes its nice to switch over. I'm still waiting for my replacement xbox to get its licenses updated before I can get some of my Forza 2 stuff i bought back in the game. So thats another reason i'm not playing Forza 2 over PGR right now.
