I just played Forza for the first time today and I'll say I like it almost as much as the GT series. Gran Turismo is the only racing game I've worshiped ever since the first one came out, so I guess it'll take time to learn to like Forza that much. I haven't gotten into the customizing and upgrading much yet, but the interface seems pretty simple. I also like the whole level system, makes things kinda easy, plus it's nice to get a free car every other race. I started with the V32 and every race has been easy as shit, so far.
