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).

The driving, car modeling, online play, online auction, and car painting are better than ever. If you want a racing sim, this is it.
However, I'm supremely disappointed in the omission of some great tracks from the last installment for the original XBOX: Tokyo, New York Long (the short track on Forza 2 is BORING), Road America, Shipyards, Hill Climbs . . all gone.
The tracks that are there are great, and there are some notable additions, and they're all nicely realistic and represented. It's just unfathomable that they would remove content from a MORE expensive game on a NEXT GEN console!!

I'm reviewing this from the perspective of an experienced PGR-3 player who is looking for another racing game to buy. Honestly this was a bit of a disappointment. Forza-2 is a good game, but it didn't live up to the hype for me.
There is a lot to like about Forza-2:
* Instant race restart - no more waiting for ages just because you blew the start.
* Good feel on a force feedback wheel (takes a bit of getting used to, but the improvement when straightening out while exiting a corner is worth it)
* Well designed and customizable HUD.
* Tuning the cars is a lot of fun - you can drive a replica of your own car, tricked up to blow away the competition.
* Telemetry details are extensive and interesting
* Gear ratios and acceleration times are spot on when I compare my own car to the game.
* "penalties" so you can't do track jumping tricks that just wreck the PGR-3 "fastest lap time" lists.
But... Way over-hyped "realism".
* The weather and time of day is always the same.
* I don't care if the physics engine models tire temperature to within 0.1 F every 0.001s, when you can crash a car at 150 mph into a wall and can still drive it (and win).
* No clutch.
* All gear shifts are sequential. You can't even start off in 2nd.
* Car modifications are hit-or-miss in representation. Sure a spoiler will appear on your tail if you add one, but select the weight reduction package - and all the seats stay in the car, and no roll bars appear.
* Since when did Jaguar "give you" an E-type when you can barely drive round the track. The manufacturer simulation is simply not "believable".
* Engine noise simulation for cars I've driven is way off. For example, the S4 V-8 sounds *nothing like* my real one.
Graphically, it's just not that impressive.
* PGR-3's track models are in a different league. I'm sorry, but if you have played PGR3 and stopped in front of a Burger King, you can read the price of a cheeseburger. I've lived in London and New York, visited Tokyo and Vegas, and the details are spot on - you can go into photo mode and produce snapshots that look uncannily like ones you took for real. In Forza most of the tracks are fictitious, and the small New York circuit is unconvincing.
* Video replay is horrible, you can't watch it rewind then hit play. It blacks out the screen and makes you wait.
* No interior car view. PGR3 had this down pat with incredible details down to air vents and simulated instruments.
And my main disappointment - Plain fun of the gameplay.
* 12 tracks, all circuits. Simply not enough variation. No point-to-point.
* You can drive all the cars immediately. Once you've driven the Audi R8, and yes, it's fast and handles great, you lose the incentive to plow through the levels to unlock it in career mode. I can't be the only one who had a blast unlocking the supercar concept in PGR3 and going back to the track to get major kudos.
* Upgrades are way too easy to get a low end sedan up to "A class".
For me it's only going to serve as a diversion while I wait for PGR-4. It's simply not blown me away.

Well, i got this game like 2 weeks ago. I can clearly state that this is the most amazing game i have ever played (car games). I had the ps2 and had all the gran turismo titles.. i loved gran turismo. Well, i think Forza's gonna beat GT HD on the PS3, because this game has something awesome... and that's car damage! Yeah, realistic car damage. I mean, if you would crash on the side of the car, the car starts going sidways and out of control, so you have some disadvantage from there on. Plus, you can paint your car with whatever design fits your artistic needs.
I get a little bit frustrated when i don't win all the time, but hey.. realism again.
I haven't played online yet, because i don't have a good enough car right now, but you can watch races (Forza Motorsport TV).. like tournaments or free play, or whatever. In conclusion, if you're looking for a quality racing game, don't look anywhere else. This is must have for any 360 owner :)

This is going to be a short review because I currently have this game paused, and I really want to get back to racing. Yes, its that good. This game has over 300 cars, from 1970s era junkers to 2007 Supercars. The tracks are fantastic, detailed, and fun. The sense of speed is amazing. The music fits perfectly with the racing theme of the game, without being too annoying. If you're a newbie or a pro, the difficulty of the game can be tailored to fit your needs. Car customization is deep and engrossing. The game runs at an amazing 60 frames per second (the movies in the theater run at 24 fps) The entire game is addictive. But...I have a couple complaints, although tiny, small complaints.
1. I feel like I really have to work for my money sometimes, after a long race I wish I got a little bit more.
2. There could be a couple extra tracks
3. The graphics, while smooth, could have used a couple extra days of polish in a few small areas
4. The game is way too addictive, and I end up staying up too late playing it. They need to make it less fun
