Forza 2 the repetitive driving simulator
User Rating: 7.6 | Forza Motorsport 2 X360
Forza 2 has so many problems it almost seems that its a step back from Gran Turismo 4. For a start theres less than half the tracks of GT4 sure they can be played in reverse but within a few hours you will have seen them all. Theres no weather effects in Forza 2 other than sunshine so no slippery tarmac to contend with in the rain or pretty night-time lights all of which GT4 had. Forza 2 car list while impressive at over 300 still lacks far behind GT4's mighty 700 plus models (including quite a few crap ones though!). No music in game makes the whole experience seem less fun and i dunno why they didnt include it when its in practically every other racer. The Cars themselves look quite good however they are a bit jaggy and shadows dont move realistically accross them. The best thing about Forza 2 is the A.I of the other cars, which act realistically and make racing more exciting, however sometimes the A.I can be a bit too agressive which can be a bit frustrating on the thinner tracks such as the Nurburgring . Another good thing is the levels of customisation that you can do; you can turn your vw golf into a sexy looking Ferrari beater or cover your car in loads of wierd stickers and put it in an online auction. Overall Forza 2 is the best and most realistic driving game on a next gen console, however you just get the feeling they could have done a bit more!
