I downloaded it, viewed it a couple of times, and I'm at the stage where you really need to work hard to convice me that this is a videogame and not a TV replay. Not a jaggy in sight, no cardboard cut-out trees, no 2D crowds. It looks more real than real, if you get my drift.
The video can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
In other excrutiatingly exciting developments, the 24-car demo is due to leave the developers for certification early next week, so we might see the Forza 2 demo up on XBox Live pretty soon. I've no idea how long these things take, but end of this month is my guess, and that's only 9 days away!
The full car list is also now available, and I think I haven't anticipated a game this much since... I can't remember when I last anticipated a game this much.
Release date is still unknown, but I'd be surprised if I weren't tweaking tyre pressures on my Golf GTi 16v Mk2 at the end of May/early June.
Been looking on the forza forums - some really awsome custom paint jobs on show.
Wonder if Freeola would sponsor us with a GAD for having a Freeola custom paint job advert on the cars? :0P

I haven't got Live yet so I don't know why I'm telling you this. :)
Biggest change is this time around you can view races as they happen rather than joining them (which you can still do of course), and watching some of the crashes in the first turns is almost as exciting as being there and causing them.
Excellent.
Hasn't melted my 360 yet either.
Check out the design in the middle of the page there, that's utterly insane, must have taken ages to get it that good.
