Forza is awesome but i have become bored of it half way through career mode. The graphics on CM Dirt are amazing and better then FM2.

buy forza for realism, if u want an arcade buy Dirt. i dont like dirt as the game is not meant as a sim but as an arcade so arcade style driving.

certainly not a nrmal colin mcrae game - only good bit about it is the hill climb cars as they are fast and you get the sense of speed and power not like the other cars not mentioning a car thats ruined on the game but the mk2 escort lol

Both for Ł50 from Gamestation online .. Must admit i've not even plapyed dirt yet!

Edit - just looked and looks like they stopped doing the offer. Got mine just in time

I would go for Forza having played the Demo's but at that price i couldn;t refuse having both

Both good games in their own way.

Arcade feel to dirt is great when your hammering through the forest sections, graphics are shit hot too.

Forza is as said Gran Turismo for the Xbox although I still dont think it will be a patch on GT5, getting right into Forza now though so we'll see what its like when I have some good cars in my garage

Forza 2 is you want it to be as real as possible but be bored to death after playing for a while..

CmD if you want more fun.. it keeps you more interested than forza Ive found

I bought DiRT as they didn't have Forza in the shop, and finished it in 1 week its a good game, but its not going to have much of a long life with me, I've got 960 achievement points though

Gran turismo will never get near forza for gameplay,it might look prettier once its finally released but Gt is easy peasy compared to forza

forza is a proper simulator not some arcadey feeling rubbish with pretty graphics,thats why the top gamers in the world play forza and spit at the mention of GT
