Real as it gets - for now.
User Rating: 8.9 | Forza Motorsport 2 X360
Forza Motorsports 2 is a very nice game, it was put together very well. You'll be able to quickly get the car you'd like to roll down the street in right away, that is if its a 'performance car', no vans or trucks for you odd-ball auto lovers. The tuning ability of the game is very detailed, and informing if you don't understand it. The painting system on the cars is also very nicely done, considering you can add tons and tons of layers onto any car. The level of skill required to drive with all of the assists off is fun, very hard to hang with the computer when you are in a evenly leveled car. The online play is decent, althuogh (and maybe I am missing the option) the ability to mute people I've yet to find, the ability to remove players from the server during a game is also missing in action, unless I seem to be over looking it. The auction system is decent, but there are afew people that have had cars go 'missing' including myself. You'll be able to buy cars you wouldn't be able to buy due to your level being low, and use them ahead of the computers you compete with, as for another thing with the internet play you'll find players don't like to play with the assists forced OFF, thats mostly geared toward the Vet owners who need that traction control to get out of corners, which is annoying because I've taken the time to invest in a AWD, or learned to baby the gas like real drivers do, you don't get a friendly corner car if its got a big ol' turbo on its RWD frame with 800 torque. Either way the game itself performs wonderful, the loading times are decent, the parts upgrades are also decent, but could be more detailed. I wouldn't mind finding a game were you've got the option to pick your injector size, turbo type (size), tune your cars air/fuel ratios, etc,... but I guess thats all in due time, some players would be turned off by this option of detail because they wouldn't understand... Be ready to have other racers cut-corners, slam into you to help them stop, and piss you off VIA voice, its very hard to find a bunch of grown men with all the assists off, and that show racing respect to one another. Some people just can't stand to be over-taken or even yield to a passing car... It needs a score that sticks with you in general from lobby to lobby to show other players how much contact you've made with other cars, with walls, how often you go off the road, etc,. that way the true drivers will be able to sift out the slammers in a heart-beat.
GREAT GAME, well worth the money, I just have to give my feedback about the multiplayer.
