Forza Motorsport 2

Solid racing sim and I don't even like racing sims

Strengths: * Tons of cars, each of which really drive differently * Nice smooth learning curve * Paired with a racing wheel the experience is simply awesome

Weakness: * Rewards leveling up your car versus pure driving skill * Graphics not on the same level as DIRT * Limited view options; no in-car dashboard view like the one offered in Test Drive Unlimited

I was never a fan of serious racing games, I like my racers full of Kudos or crash points, but I have been thoroughly enjoying Forza 2. What makes the game great is the accessibility of the gameplay. The game offers many different driving assists that you can toggle on or off and these are extremely helpful in the beginning of the career mode. You can toggle all the assists on and still make...

Better than Grand Turismo

Strengths: VERY nice online features.

Weakness: There's only around 300 cars available.

This game is better than Grand Turismo or Gotham Project Racing for sure. The online service is very nice..they have competitions with rewards sometimes. The sound is not that great and music selection is not that great either. I heard you can display this game with 3 different monitors/hdtv all at the same time and it will show you nice graphic... but I haven't tested it. Also make sure you try...

Forza Motorsport 2

Strengths: -Huge amount of cars and customization. -Solid online play. -Good amount of track variations.

Weakness: -Graphics are mediocre. -Customization could be too much for a leisure gamer.

I kind of was expecting more of this game when I bought it. My expectations for the graphics were let down by the uninspiring tracks and backgrounds. The cars look fabulous, but compared to Gran Turisimo on the PS3, it doesn't even come close. The tuning of cars is not very easy and when playing online against other people that know how can be a automatic loss. Definitely not for the casual gamer...

Great Sim Racing on 360

Strengths: online play, over 300 cars, auction cars, customization, damage,

Weakness: graphics, sound, no great leap in SIM games,

Forza Motorsport 2 is one of the best racing SIMS currently available on the 360. Graphics are good but could use some polishing. The biggest update in Forza 2 is the online experience. Now players have the ability to buy cars online through an auction setup. Tournaments, user info and other online features have also become much more user friendly. Unlike other racing SIMS, Forza also does allow...

Forza Motorsport 2

Strengths: Great graphics, solid racing simulator, lots of real cars to race

Weakness: A little difficult and overwhelming for the casual player

Forza Motorsport 2 is much like the Playstation's Gran Turismo series. It is a serious racing simulator that is all about making realistic looking and handling cars based on real cars. As such, it is an excellent title. If you are really into cars and into tuning and tweaking and endless amount of customization then this is the game for you. For the casual racing fan who likes more arcade-like...

Forza Motorsport 2

Strengths: Realistic. Many cars customizable

Weakness: Nothing to complain

Forza Motorsport 2 is one of the best racing games available to XBox 360. It has faily good garphics and sound. The car control is more realistic than other racing games. Car customization gives you more freedom to play with. Surely, Forza Motorsport 2 is one of the best games available to XBox 360.

Forza Motorsport 2

Strengths: simulator customizeable cars number of cars on-line

Weakness: simulator

I've played PGR3, and I definitely think that this is a better game. There are simply more cars, and each car is highly customizable. I felt that this was something that was lacking in PGR3. It's really fun being able to race "normal" cars (Eg. non-exotics) with your friends. This is especially true if your real-life daily driver is available in the game. Forza Motorsport 2 is the best racing...

First real race sim a welcoming experience

Strengths: Cars, physics, realism.

Weakness: Frequent collision penalties (even when AI is rubbing you out).

I only played easy racers in the past, like NFS:Underground. This game is a real challenge that I enjoy very much. I am happy with the graphics, I hear other games have better but Forza 2 is sufficient in this department. It's real focus is in the driving. It's enjoyable with or without a wheel, but of course the wheel has made this a complete experience. I use a Microsoft wheel and it's very...

Great Game

Strengths: Graphics and car selections

Weakness: None

This game is a good sequel to the Forza series. The cars are detailed and the overall graphics are top notch. The speed of the game moves at a steady clip. It's a good alternative to Gran Turismo. It's probably the top Xbox 360 racer in the 360 library.

Incredible Racing

Strengths: Driving physics make you feel like you're driving tons of different cars. Excellent graphics.

Weakness: Not the highest end graphics

This game is all about the cars. The way the cars handle, each one individually, is great. When you tune the car with mods, the handling changes accordingly. The focus of the game, the cars, look excellent. They are very accurate and have great definition. The other parts of the game, the roads and the backgrounds, look really good but not as good as the cars. For the driving simulation that this...
