This is one of those games where almost everything about it works: the car customization is extremely detailed (tune it up, test it, tune it up again - it's almost too realistic); the car selection is to die for (over 300 top models from all over the world); the simulation is spot-on; there are a million upgrades you can get; and last but not least, while some complained about the graphics (the motionless clouds, the intermittent choppiness), I felt like they were more-than-suitable, if not top-notch (the cars are rendered beautifully though, which is the most important thing). The one small complaint I have is the limited, slightly repetitive race-track selection - while it's cool that players have the choice to pick which tournament they want to play (or re-play), I wish Forza just added a few more different ones for variety. Otherwise, racing fans, this is the one to get: not Colin, not even PGR4 come close to beating the success of this game. Hours and hours of gameplay are guaranteed.
Gran Turismo was the only reason to have a Playstation. Since the PS3 was hard to get I went with the Xbox 360. When I found out that Forza 2 was coming out I was looking forward to giving it a try. Let's just say I am glad I went with Xbox 360. Forza 2 blows Gran Turismo out of the water. The amount of cars and the countless options of painting and graphics makes this one of the most customizable games out there. Get the Xbox wheel and you become a better racer. One thing I love about this game is there are none of the silly licenses to get. You just race or practice. I don't have the time to try and complete a corner under a certain time just to get a license to drive in the game. I always would have to find cheat codes to get past those stupid things. Forza 2 you just go out and race. The more you win the more tracks and cars unlock, which is makes it fun. Isn't that why we do this. If you are holding out for Gran Turismo 5 or whatever it will be, Make the switch and never turn back. Forza 2 is a winner.
Forza 2 has great physics and handling while running at a solid 60fps. You get a powerful livery editor (painting), tuning, upgrades, an auction house, and a ton of cars. The assists let anyone from a beginner to expert race the way they want and have fun. There is real damage too, unlike some other games, so you feel the consequences of taking a turn to wide or bumping into other drivers.
"I'm having a great xperience with this game. Use with the official steering wheel. Can't get more real than that."
"Its a good driving game. It is a tad hard but good for people who enjoy them."
