Will Forza (1) play on the 360?

Is it worth it? I realise the graphics wont be up to much, but if i can get it cheap is it worthwhile to get a feel for the game?

I've still got my Forza having upgraded to a 360 at Christmas. It's still a belting game with very realistic handling traits. Should be able to get it for peanuts in Game as a traded one. Can't recommend it enough. Roll on forza 2!

Absolutely, the only minor and occasional issues I've had are audio related (sometimes it gets caught in a loop playing one particular sound, and sometime "my" engine noise gets switched off (particularly in an NSX)) however pausing it and then going again sort that out straight away.

Also - Get a 360 FF wheel now before the release of Forza 2 (I reckon they'll be hard to get a hold of when it's released.) The wheel is very progressive (but not FF'd on Forza 1) Even still you get a much better feel on the game I think - and it makes it soo fun!

Personally I think Forza is the mother of all simulations on a console and I seriously can't wait for the improved Forza 2. God knows what it'll do to my life!

Computer Exchange are selling it for 4 quid Ian, and if you see it for any more than a tenner its not worth buying.

I picked Forza back up for my 360 for £5 from the local Argos clearance place.

awesome game.

I have two problems with the game
1, Sometimes (noticably with Turbo cars) the engine note switches off so cant tell when to change gear.
2, You cannot play through the VGA cable, it must be component/scart only
