I completely agree. You cant say the game will be crap until you have actually played it…potentially on one of these bad boys :

For those of you that are whining about the price ofgt5 then grow up. it costs bugger all in the long run for the amount of enjoyment and time that you will get out of it. in terms of bang for buck nothing else on the market can compete with it so stop being tight asses and just wait, buy the full game, sit back and enjoy!

WELL worth the 40 dollars. for this mega beta, I have no problem buying this game, supporting sony, so they can build the ultimate GT5. The detail in this BETA are unreal NOW. can you imagine a year later with more time with the ps3 development tools under their belts? simply amazing. 5 hours into it, and theres still so much to do.

@Gar

I stand corrected on the track number. I guess the source (which I wish I had written down; it was some online stores description) I used was incorrect on the track number. There are 12 tracks with 45 (this number seems to vary around the web) variations. I don’t own the game so I haven’t played ever track but I know that Nürburgring’s variants really do feel a lot like different tracks.

There are just over 300 cars however (wikipedia, but also verified elsewhere).

Even if there are only 12 (plus 2 DLC) actual tracks, that is still twice GT5:P’s track count. And the car list is still more than 4x as many as GT5:P. So Def’s comment is still factually incorrect.

As for the retail price, you can go back to when it came out, but you couldn’t even get GT5:P then. I prefer to deal in the actual consumer choices people could make. Only now could you actually choose to buy either Forza 2 or GT5:P. That is assuming you have both systems. If you have a PS3 there aren’t really any options for racing games.

FYI, the numbers I’m citing for cars and tracks are all without DLC.

Whining on a very high level… stop it, please. Just don’t buy the Prologue and wait ’till the end of 2009 to get the complete experience. But you will miss the many, many events in this game… fun for more than a month and I did’nt even touch the online modus…

@ Paul: “FYI, Forza 2 on Xbox 360 has 60 tracks and 300 cars and retails for $30 new with free shipping. That is quite a bit more than 70 cars and 6 tracks. So you statement of “That is more than most games give you today.” is factually incorrect. PGR4 has more cars and tracks too.”

I wouldn’t say Forza has 60 tracks, 300 cars, and retails for $30 new w/ free shipping if I were you. The game really only has 14 tracks (2 DLC). Majority of the game makes you run various routes of the tracks and are either just forward/reverse modes. About 30-50 of those 300 cars are from DLC. The initial retail price of Forza 2 was roughly $49-59.99 and adding in the price of the DLC back in those days, the game would’ve been close to $70-80 for a Forza fan that picked up the game and its DLC from the beginning to the end.

Sure your statement holds true for $30 now, but why wouldn’t it cost $30 for a game that’s fairly old at this point of its life?
