Most that come in here to system wars just claim they think they don't look good blah blah blah.

Well lets clear this up Forza 2's graphics are FREAKING REAL GOOD!!!

It's like the developer just dropped a stick of butter into the game it runs like ICE SMOOTH at 60 frames.

And after over a week of playtime. I can say to any haters that I'm playing on a HD TV and with all the physics and such going on and after seeing all the tracks and cars. the GAME looks AMAZING

Examples look in you reverse view behind you after leaving a hard turn and watching all the dust kick up and seeing the cars still making the turn and maybe even crashing and seeing parts fly apart. It's SICK!!!

And all in all this game just looks very polished and like i said runs buttery smooth.

With all the upgrades and paint options and decal options and full model and physics damage and the auction house you just can not ask for more in a game and it's graphics.

Anyone that continues to hate on the graphics is so wrong and not even really playing the game.

I agree that the graphics are good, but nothing special or mindblowing... or as you like to put it: FREAKING REAL GOOD...

1) It's Really Frickin' Good, mmmkay?

2) The environments DO look bland

3) The cars DO look fantastic.

4) Stable 60FPS... nice

5) Here's some toiletpaper, bring it to your brain, and stop ranting about your "pwecious fowza motowspowt 2!!"

6) actionhouse hasn't got a thing to do with graphics

the graphics and physics are definately above par but i'm not much of a realistic racing sim fan

to me it's one of those games that you would play at walmart, but never buy it

+ the amout of tracks to race on is pretty low to my knowledge

Yeah I agree. I think some of the tracks look a bit blah and that was the reason for some people thinking this, but there are some really good looking tracks and lighting effects in the game. It should get at least a 8.5 in the graphics department.

Well i will admit that some tracks look better then others.

But come on man it's Xbox Live you know they are going to support this game like crazy.

Need i even say that they will have new tracks and cars for download in the newr future.

Expect IT!!!

I just played it at my friends house and they were amazing, the cars looks extremly good the only problem was that the surronding was having plain texture, I really didnt find much of alising as said by IGN.com.

Not really... the car models are phenomenal, I'll give you that, but I was looking at a replay and the audience were flat 2-D pixelated messes. Looked like SNES sprites. It was really bad. You won't notice it on most tracks, but it was a real glaring problem.

That being said, Forza 2 is STILL the best racing sim game I've ever played.

But yet you will pay for a $600 movie player go figure?

And no it would be more like a map pack of sorts like 3-5 new tracks a cars a update pack would be more like it.

WOW you are completly not being fair about the crowds they do not look that bad they look decent besides most of it is off in the distance. But if you get up close on the side on the road and stop and camera rotate they look pretty decent.

And no they ARE NOT the 2d tacked on crowd look like GTHD has.

Link, or do you think corporate microsoft, that didn't allow free maps for Gears of War, will be generous all of the sudden because whoever runs the show these days (not Gates anymore) got visited by the ghost of christmas past, present, and future?

I've seen all the HD videos...Team Xbox was actually right in this case (which is a stark contrast to where their forum community at the least is), flat as a board is very descriptive of the game.

It does not have 12 tracks. Like GT4, it has loads of tracks but they're in 12 "environments". So the course of the track is completely different, but it's in the same city, or on the same circuit.

Agreed. The jaggies in Forza 2 are pretty sick.
Also, I can tell you've never actually played GT:HD on that "hdtv" of yours or you wouldn't be making a thread about Forza 2's graphics. GT:HD ... 60fps, 1080p, with great anti-aliasing.

Forza 2's graphics are not severly underrated at all.  It really does look that bad, about the only time the car models look good are when the damage starts showing.

For all the people raving about Forza's graphics, I just dont see it, sorry.

Dont get me wrong, the game is a heck of a lot of fun, but the graphics are rated just right by everyone.

Still more proof that you've never seen GT:HD. Unlike the 2d cut-outs of Forza 2, all the spectators in GT:HD are full 3D models.
I'm glad I could clear that up for you. In the future, stick to what you know instead of whatever else you just posted.

AND it looks just as good as the replay mode too.  Seriously, themodels in that SCREAM next gen.  Like, for sure, this COULD NOT be done last gen.  Proof?  Look back when you're in gameplay, and the car looks as good as the replay mode.

It's so CLEAR you have never played Forza 2 you just look at screen shots.

And yes i have GTHD on my PS3 and it had my attention fo no more then 30secs.

With it's TERRIBLE handleing and just flat out bad sound effects when the cars slide and peel rubber.

And if you can not CLEARY see that those mountains are tacked on 2d backgrounds.

GTHD is nothing more then a PS2 game that had been super blown up with high res and a few effects it could be easily done on 360 360 has a better GPU it would look better it does on PS3.

For anyone that is a racer fan and loves GT there is noway you would not like Forza if you have played it. FACT IS FORZA IS BETTER then GT PERIOD even Gamespot knows this and the scores PROVE IT!!!

GTHD is a upgraded PS2 game with a 2D mountain and the people look like cardboard figures.

 That's a joke comparing that garbage with FORZA 2.

Sure you do, pal. That's why you think the GT:HD spectators are Forza 2 like 2d cutouts. What's your playstation id? I'll send you mail when I get home.
