Forza Motorsport is on the 360, and it looks like it's here to stay.

User Rating: 9.5 | Forza Motorsport 2 X360
Forza Motorsport 2 is a great game, and everything you could ask for in a Next-Gen racing simulator. It finds the fine line between being too technical and being too simple. The graphics are great, with lots of detail being put into both the gorgeous cars and the beautiful scenery. Also, the Car Painting options are second to none. You have a seemingly endless number of different Vinyl Shapes and Manufacturer Decals to put on hundreds of layers at any place on your car. The Suggested Line is extremely helpful for newcomers to the Racing Simulation genre, but manages to not be too helpful, so you are still in control of the racing. Also, the cars are presented simply in terms of Speed, Acceleration, Braking, Handling and Rarity. You can, however, view the cars in more complicated terms and se the Torque, Horsepower, etc. There are a massive amount of Tuning options and Car Upgrades, which may be a little overwhelming for newcomers.

The online mode is very good with a massive community and an option to sell and buy cars in the Auction House. It may be a little irritating, however, when you are looking for matches and find people doing Drifting sessions or deliberately crashing into you when they fall behind.

Overall, Forza 2 is possibly the best Racing Sim ever, and is accessible to rookies and veterans alike.
