Example, they have at least six or seven EVO series mitsubishi, But I have seen no VR-4. They have several skyline GT-R's But no GTS-t, and no ceferio. This game is, overall, great. Customization of the cars visuals, possibilities are endless.
Despite this, I still say it is a five star game. The realistic car reaction and thought that went into this game reflects in the final product. The car list is way more than the first Forza. You even get information about the manufacurers of the vehicle.
However, there is still a problem with the available cars. So I say give it 5.
its ok, but all info you can get from game itself doesn't describe tuning or have any andvanced tips, more for someone who would rather read than play game
It gives the basics and you have to build on that. This is a good resource, lot's of pictures and good detail. It's great for the beginner, but not too detailed on the tuning, setups and really specific information. That said, at the Amazon price, it's a worthwhile purchase.
The logistics involved in writing a book like this while a game is still under development are quite challenging; rarely do authors and their editorial teams see any appreciation for that fact.This guide is a must for fans that want the extra edge in the game, from very specific tuning tips to unprecedented track detail to all the car stats you need when making pre-race comparisons to your competition, even in-depth racing theory to improve your on-track performance. It's a massive tome of racing reference and how-to material jam packed into 240 pages - twice the size of most guides. If you want an edge over your competition, both online and off, you need the info inside these covers.
There is NO index. Do NOT assume "it must be here somewhere" - it probably isn't Yes there is one, but it is very brief and EVERY page number reference is incorrect. And that coverage doesn't even explain how long a pit stop may take or how to even initiate a pit stop.My recommendations are:-1. So there is no coverage of Online Exhibition races, Quickmatch, Custom Match, Create Match or Online Career races.Very few words are devoted to multi-screen, certainly nothing that could provide guidance in setting up multiple screens. UPDATE TO THIS REVIEWThere is another review giving this book FIVE STARS.The poster's name is "B.D.Anthony".The book was authored by a "Brad Anthony".This is the only product on Amazon that "B.D.Anthony" has authored.Coincidence.END OF UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------Given the delays in bringing Forza 2 to market, you'd think they could get this one right, but no.Most of this book is reference material that rightly belongs in appendices, but they chose to insert it in many pieces into the middle of the text.
So that could have been solved by a good index. Have low expectations2.
This makes it very hard to find the reading material. Pit strategy is covered on pages 20 and 187.
Be prepared to use a lot of Post-It tabs to mark useful things you find3. And there are two glaring errors, one implying that the only number of screens supported is three, and another claims there is a "replay view" which is just not true.Often the "why" is not explained, such as why would you hire a driver to drive for you if he/she takes 100% of the prize money.The sequence of the material is somewhat random and they even take topics and split them.
Yes, every single one.Early in the book, page 4, you are referred to the Multiplayer Chapter. What about a Table of Contents.
There is NO Multiplayer Chapter. Be very, very patient when trying to find information4.
