The best racing sim you can get.

User Rating: 9.2 | Forza Motorsport 2 X360
I haven't played a racing game in a long time, and I was excited to hear that this game was reviewed possiively by GameSpot and every source I actually care about. When I bought my 360, I gladly searched for this game. What I got was what I wanted: a realistic racing sim that plays well, looks great, and doesn't bog me down with a lack of exotcic cars (coughcoughgranturismocoughcough).

Gameplay- realistic, but still fun to play and doesn't feel like a boat to handle. The "Suggested Line" really helps racing sim noobs like me look like they're driving like a pro. The AI however ranges from completely incompetent to professional to psychic god. I feel empty when racing the Novices, yet feel completely ridiclous losing to the Hard.

Graphics- 60 frames per second looks nice and detailed, but there are no blurred effects during racing. The replays, however, run at a blurrier frame rate which makes everything look alot more cinematic. I prefer the cinematic to the real, and I wished that they gave you a choice. The car models look so real that you feel like you're actually looking at your car, not some assortment of pixels.

Sound- Pretty good. Rock, electronic, and some other genres are better than the stuff they played in the GT menus. Custom soundtracks are the only way to listen to music while you drive, which you can access using your big central button. The engine noises sound tinny, and aren't as real as I thought they'd be. It still sounds great. I wish they had PGR's interior view which really mae you feel like you were in the car.
