The first thing that came to Kendall was the visuals of the game.
“Visually, the games are spectacular,” he said. “It’s amazing how gorgeous the imaginary tracks are. I wish their designers designed real tracks.” “Some of the new tracks we see today are not so beautiful…”

| Speaking of visuals! |
“The real tracks that are loaded into the game are virtually perfect. They should be the number one tool if you are trying to learn a new track – you will learn exactly what it looks like if you play it on Forza. You can’t walk it, but it would be an interesting exercise if you drove it really slow and looked at things like pavement changes, camber changes – that would be an interesting exercise. Racing games like this are definitely a part of a race driver’s toolbox now.”

The main difference between driving a car on a track and driving a car on a racing simulator, even if you are in a full simulator with a seat, force feedback steering wheel, large monitor, pedals, or the Kinnect system on the new Forza 4 game is that you will only be able to use your vision to react to the car – you won’t feel anything.
“There are a few things that playing a game might help,” said Kendall. “Your hand-eye coordination might improve, because you are only seeing in the game and not feeling G-loads, or the car sliding – those forces don’t transfer through a game.”
