Win: Forza Motorsport Bundles
By now, we all know it's better than GT4. Every review says so. So now you just need to win one of these five copies - with their Live kits out!
Nobody was quite sure what to make of Forza Motorsport when it was unveiled for the first time, almost exactly a year ago, at Microsoft's E3 2004 Press Event. How could it possibly better the then-'imminent' GT4? Then, the Tokyo Game Show came along, and GT's creator got on stage at a conference to announce a "feature update" - there will be no online in GT4. After we picked our jaws up, Microsoft started sending newer builds of this "Forza". And by the time the final one turned up, everyone was sold.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a major highlight is the superb online support, a standard you'd expect from pretty much any firstparty Xbox title these days. The online play and features are stunningly integrated, and while GT4 is, of course, still a breathtaking driving game, Forza's real-world, online emphasis leaves rival racing simulators in the dust.
As the first fully customizable driving simulator for Xbox, Forza offers authentic handling and damage physics, lifelike graphics, and realistic tuning options, with the pride of owning more than 200 models from automakers such as Nissan, Honda, Ferrari, Porsche, Tommy Kiara and over 40 other manufacturers. Gamers can take their custom collection of track monsters to the competition at famous circuits such as the Nurburgring Nordschleife, Laguna Seca and Tsukuba, or on the spectator-lined streets of New York City, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. It doesn't get much better, folks.
And now, you want to win a copy, right? With an Xbox Live Starter Kit, of course. To enter the competition, answer the following question: -->
According to Forza's tagline, what are you?
a) What you eat
b) What you mod
c) What you race
d) What you win
e) What you wish you could be because you messed it all up and things will never be the same again so get on with life and stop moaning about it you pathetic clown?
