Best racer on 360 so far

My favorite thing about Forza is the realistic damage modeling. I'm sick of "realistic" racing games that let you slam into a wall at 200 mph and not even scratch the paint. While the realism could take away some of the fun for some people, like the people that enjoy arcadey racers like Need For Speed, I think it makes it more rewarding to nail a sharp set of turns without spinning or smashing into something.
The graphics are also stellar. The cars look great and have real-time reflections. It runs really smooth, and I haven't experienced any slowdown yet.
As far as gameplay, there's a career mode that has you selecting a region (North America, Asia, etc.). This makes the cars in your region cheaper compared to other cars that you have to "import". You can trade cars with people that chose a different region to make things cheaper, so it kinda promotes interaction with other people other than just racing against them. Kinda cool. You can also race online with 7 other people. I've played quite a few games online and haven't experienced any lag yet.
The biggest draw for Forza though is the the cars. There's 300 cars from 50 manufacturers (or so I've read). You can customize them out the wazoo and create custom paint jobs. It's pretty neat. There's also a mini-game when you upgrade stuff to keep you from upgrading to the next car class, something I wish they had in Test Drive Unlimited. Overall, it's a fun game with a lot of substance and great graphics. If that sounds like your kind of game, then go ahead and check out this game.
