I have no idea why this is even a question. It's like lets argue football, who is better, the Titans at 8 and 0 or the lions at 0 and 8, go!
The Gran Turismo games always have been the gold standard of racing games with insane amounts of cars, tracks, the best graphics and....everything else. There is simply no comparison, the various xbox racing games are also rans every time.
There is not a single feature in any Xbox racing game that is an improvement on the GT series, not one. |
You've obviously never played a Forza game. Damage, online, the paint editor, screenshots, etc. etc. etc.
Forza made some serious leaps over the GT series when it released. It's still lacking in some regards, but it blew GT out of the water in some aspects.
Personally, my preference is for Forza simply because GT5 isn't out. Forza 2 had one of the best online communities I've ever seen.
The ball is definitely in Polyphony's court at this point. They have a lot to live up to after Forza 2. Sure, their game might be prettier but there's a lot more to a racing game than that. I expect full customization of cars (inside and out), a well-rounded online system, an interactive website to compare/compete with friends, official tournaments, etc. etc. etc.
It seems as if many of you want this genre to remain stagnant just so your precious Gran Turismo doesn't look bad. Sad. Damned fanboys... You should appreciate the competition Forza has brought to the table. Polyphony, instead of sitting on their hands as they did from GT2-4, now has to up the ante to keep up with the expanded feature set brought in by Turn 10.
