This is, by far, the most addictive game I think I've ever played. Sometimes it's great - when you've just won a pink slip race and now find yourself in possession of a top of it's class beast.
Sometimes it's the worst game ever - when you've just lost your top of the range beauty that you've spent thousands doing up.
The racing isn't always close, but that fact that you have some much riding on most of the races - not just money, but reputation and, sometimes, your own car - means that you often put more pressure on yourself than your competitors do.
I have actually been nervous as a race is about to start. Knowing that if I lose I'm out of cash and will have to sell a car, but if I win, I'm 50,000 better off.
The fact that you can bet on races that you don't even participate in, the respect system and the whole pink slip race takes this game one level up on anything I've played before.
I know that it hasn't got great reviews from some places, and the demo didn't really do the game justice as you really become attached to your cars as you progress through the game, that if you lose one you are genuinely gutted. This is helped by the other characters. You see a talking head of the opposition through the game, and this draws you into the game a suprising amount.
If you're a fan of racing games, I'd give this a go. I was a bit unsure when I bought it, but I haven't touced a single game since I've had it, inclduing GTA:SA, which says a lot on it's own....

It's a horrible game.
Avoid.

Now that Play have this down at 14.99, you really have no excuse not to get it.
I've been online with it a fair bit, and most of the people I've raced against have been yanks, but they haven't been that bad to be honest.
Still, as I haven't unlocked all the prototype parts I get spanked most of the time, but no one seems to take it as seriously as Forza - it really is a very good game. Both online and off.

I'd buy Forza off you with everything I have in my Paypal account...£3.70 sound good to you?

Juiced is far, far more fun than Forza, which I found very boring.
Sounds pretty good, i got Forza but couldnt get into that all. Really dont like proper simualtions since playing games like Burnout and NFS:U.
