A new racing standard for the XBOX 360

Fantastic game! Graphics are stunning at 1080i, definitely the nicest looking and playing racing game I have ever played. I don't know that it's a GT HD killer, maybe, but it's surely some serious competition to say the very least and should not be taken lightly.

If you have a 360 and a high-def set, YOU MUST get this game!

GT what?

I have been a loyal gamer all my life and almost played every racing game out. GT series was fun in the beginning. But after a while. It totally bored me out. My latest joy in racing was Forza 2 (plus the first one). With this game, you CAN NOT get lazy with this game. I put in major work detailing my rides. I now care in I rub or bump another car because that is paint transfer. Forget about it.

Forza 2 Excelente

I would go write a lengthy review of Forza 2 but unfortunatly I am not going to because I can not pry myself away from this game for more than a few minutes at a time, if you are reading this, that means you are interested in the game, and if you are interested in the game, even slightly, BUY IT NOW and tell all your friends to buy it as well, I promise you will not be dissapointed.

Great...Great, and um...Great?

This game is just all sorts of great. The graphics, though the lowest factor are still great. Anyone who really disses the graphics are just looking for low points. As a racing game, Forza 2 is nothing short of phenominal...more of a system seller than Gears of War by a long shot

Not realisitc

I got one 360 just to play Forza 2, happens I got really disapointed with the game when I saw fake shadows and reflections on cars, for example, put the game to run some replay and keep the camera view in back of car, then pay attention to shadows and other details :(

Also, damages are very arcade, even em Simulation mode, the car never loose big quantity of components when involved in accident.
Disapointing was also the fact all cars seems to slizze on road, even with sport tyres and all wings to help grip, far from reality.

Overall, its fun for the body painting and prize/reward system as we progress but the game is far from other simulator titles as GTR2 (PC) or (GT5).

Good racer, but AI is retarded

This game is fun for the first few levels, but then becomes a very tedious grind once you get past level 20. Tracks are too few, and not very interesting. Really need more variety and alot less super twisty tracks. Turn 10 needed more speedways, and less King Cobra type road courses.

Also don't help that the AI are horrible drivers. Racing is a game of giving and taking. I just wish the Forza 2 AI learned when to give ground when they are outbraked into the corner, or just much slower than you are. The AI also is way too overaggressive to the point they will drive through you at any given time. This happens alot if you ramp up the difficulty that forces you to break much sooner to stop from locking up your brakes. The AI also is quite slow in their cornering. It gets quite irriating wiping out as the AI for some dumb reason brakes on the exit of the corner instead of hitting the gas.

The damage seems a bit unrealistic. Even on the highest settings it seems more arcade style damage than anything else. A car shouldn't be competitive enough to go for the win after smoking the wall at 100 mph like the Forza 2 cars do with full damage on. I don't see the point of having damage if your going to use it more towards a gimmick move to promote sales. If your going to have racing damage do it right or don't do it at all. Forza 2 seems to go about half way and stop.

Its nice that they let you do cool stuff to your paint job. Wish they would have a spray brush option to do some fine tuning instead of doing everything with decals on top of decals.

Overall a good racer if all you have is the Xbox 360. I'd honestly suggest the GT series over the Forza series. Not as a fanboy, but from the fact the GT games are more better rounded on all fronts. The Forza series seems to go half way really good then seems to rush through the other half for some reason.

Best racing game

I spent lots and lots of time playing Forza on xbox, so naturally I had to buy a 360 just for this game. let me say it was way worth it. you can do lots of things in this game. you can buy a honda hatch and swap and S2000 motor in it. great graphics, GREAT physics. everything great. if your into racing then this is the game for you. if your into ricey crap then stick to NFS.

No interior View.

After playing the awesome PGR 3 on my xbox 360, I was fully hyped to play FM2, especially since it touted itself as a driving "simulator". I even got it the day it came out.

When I got it home and plugged in the driving wheel, I was hugely dissapointed. There's no interior view of the car. Instantly, half the driving experience is lost. For example, so much of the Mclaren F1 experience is due to the single front seat with the steering wheel in the middle of the dash. The cool rpm lights on the Enzo Ferrari also play a part huge part of the in game experience of that car. It doesn't hit you on a technical level, and it wont add bumps to your force feedback driving wheel, but it does hit you on an emotional level.

Car designers think long and hard about the look and feel of a cockpit and how the outside world is framed through their windows. This game totaly disregards all of that, instead portraying the cars as purely technical. Even the fact you've stripped out your interior and are looking through a roll cage says something about the car's driving experience.

Yes you can tweak pretty much everything about the motor, wheels, tires and paint job, and yes Forza is that much better on the Microsft Driving Wheel than PGR 3 (and definitely NFS Carbon!) but all that is lost without the full driver experience of actually *sitting* in the car instead of floating above it.

Also the weather never changes. Why is it always sunny? How about some tough driving conditions? wet weather? fog, icy roads? Look at the weather that occurs at Le Mans! 24 hours rain or shine. Normally I wouldn't mind, but to me these are all vital parts of how you experience the car. It's not just about the motor.

I played this for two days, but finally reverted back to PGR 3. If you are a gear head this product is for you.. actually even then I'm not sure it is. This game does not offer the full driving experience.

5 star racer

Gives you what you want in a racing game, tons of cars and great tracks. Online is amazing, being able to sell cars and give cars is great, much better than test drive. A must buy for any racing junkie!
