Forza Motorsport 2

tschonbeck's Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360) review

Sticky tarmac

To start off let me say that I’m a big fan of the Forza Motorsport franchise. And Forza Motorsport 2 didn’t make me like it less.

Graphics
On the graphic side Forza Motorsport 2 is a beautiful game, bit while looking realistic it also looks a bit cartoony compared to a newer game like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on the PlayStation 3. All in all a very good looking game, that cares for the details of the cars and the surroundings.

Audio
The music soundtrack is not memorable but just okay. The in-game sounds with the engines and shrieks from the tires are spot on and very worthy of a good game.

Gameplay
The game looks and feels like a real car simulator. The control with the Xbox 360 controller is very precise. Unfortunately I haven’t tried it with a steering wheel but I would very much like to try it to see if it makes this game even better.

My only really negative thing I have to say about this game is that it is extremely long. I have played for weeks and I just wanted to finish it but eventually I gave up and went for online play.

No doubt that Forza 2 is a nice addition to your collection. The first thing that really caught my attention are the dynamics, the handling and reactions of the cars. It pulls you straight in the drivers' seat, makin...

Gameplay: I have played the first forza motorsport on the original xbox and I wasn't interested in the game since its a simultion racing game and its not my taste I like more need for speed type games. So i've played this forza motorsport and I was impressed at how many cars theyre are in the game its quite surprising the amount of choices you can make all with customisation and the vinyls you can apply on your car. Another good thing is that you can sell your perfectly made car on the Auction h...
