Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...be excellent as well, and Forza 2 does not disappoint. Even from the outset, the different cars feel very different, and you can really feel the difference between the different drivetrain configurations. The game engine is also has more of a simulation element to it than many other racing games, and reckless and overly aggressive driving is punished. The cars also feel right when driving them. There is really no other way to put this. They respond ...
...no real consequences, but in Forza 2 you have to pay for your car to be repaired out of your winnings. This can really hurt you pocket when you are in a very expensive car! And now, we move onto the meat of the game: the choice of cars. There are an amazing number of cars available to choose from in the game, from lots of countries and from various eras. In addition, some of the really high profile and high performance road cars are available to ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

So finally Microsoft’s sequel to Forza Motorsport makes it’s debut on the Xbox 360. So is this highly anticipated racing simulation as good as it is cracked up to be ? Over all the game is solid. The game has a lengthy offline career, which rewards you as you progress, with cars and in game credits. To add to the replay value of the game there is also online racing in which you can either race for fun, or continue your career online, earning credits ...
...then that the physic in Forza Motorsport 2 are A+. The physics now runs at 360 frames per second, which helps make the cars react more realistically. This game easily has the most in depth car physics ever seen in a racing game for a console (if not PC aswell), the depth and detail of elements that affect the cars handing is unparallel. One of the main attractions of this game away from the great car physics and car models is the customization. You ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...limited edition box set of Forza 2 I couldn't wait to enjoy all that was and much more... how dissapointed was I?? Forza Motorsport 2 offers an almost real driving experience with over 300 different cars, (or so the blurb tells us, it actual seems to be dozens of versions of the same cars, lots of 911's etc), real time telemetary of how the car is behaving as you race, (a nice touch if you can understand half of it), new tracks, (although many old ...
...for example) and a new improved transfer designer (with good copy/paste options but less control over the actual tranfer shape, by this I mean they have taken out some of the skew/perspective option). All in all, apart from the stunning HD graphics and new colours etc I am not sure this new version of a classic Xbox game is actually an improvement. Those who liked the gameplay of the original game won't be dissapointed as it still plays well and ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...out for a while now, Forza 2 still remains one of the best racing games on the Xbox 360, only rivalled by Grid and NFS Shift. Now in the classics range, meaning you can pick it up for not much more than a tenner, is even more of an incentive to delve into your pockets and invest into the game. But is it really a 'classic', I mean can a 2 year old game hold up against new releases with better graphics and improved physics engines? With the new Forza ...
...racing game on the market, Forza come with its own career mode, which as usual, entails the buying of a car, racing small races, buying a better car, racing bigger races. Its really that simple. From the start, you actually have a fairly wide range of cars at your disposal, and this only increases the more you play the game. The volume of cars on offer here is truly incredible and they run from your run-of-the-day Ford Focus, to some crazy looking ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

Forza Motorsport 2 is a top driving title, it competes with the likes of PGR 4 and other titles such as Need for speed in its bid to be the best racing title on the 360. Although Forza is pitted as a real driving sim it never quite feels like one, it also doesn't have the feel of an arcade racer like PGR 4 does. However I find this quite a good thing as the game is quite difficult and it is challenging to win races whereas sometimes in the other ...
...Forza there is a massive selection of cars, too many to count to be honest, but by doing this you have a varied choice of which car you want to use for a race. The cars that can be bought are split into three regions Asia, America and Europe and then into the various manufacturers such as Vauxhall, Dodge, Honda etc. etc. This makes it really easy to find the car you want, there is also a search feature which allows you to find cars by such things ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

Forza Motorsport 2. One of the genre defining games of the year for me and many others. When you first load up the game you are presented with simple, 'easy on the eye' menus which are clear to follow. GAMEPLAY The game is very flexible, which allows a wide variety of people to play. If you are a younger person, you can turn the various Driving Aids on, which will help you to keep the car on the track. Or if you are older or more experienced you ...
...Turn 10, the people behind Forza Motorsport 2, also spent a lot of time getting the cars handling just right. As a result you can feel the difference between a FWD car, an AWD car and a RWD car. Turn 10 has also spent a lot of time on an area called Telemetry. This allows you to see what is happening on the inside of your car in real-time. For example, at the beginning of a race the tyres are cold, but as the race progresses you can see the temperature ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...high octane racer, and the Forza Series, the Gran Turismo of the 360, the ultra realistic, slower paced racing, with the ability to fine tune cars to an astonishing level. I never played the original Forza, so I was thrown into Forza 2 a little unknowing. Started out by buying a VW Golf that was insanely slow, a far cry from the speedy Honda PGR3 gives you to start with for free. IMy first race was a joke, crashing non-stop, I wasn't used to the ...
...and expand my collection. Forza 2 Is addictive, no doubt, however it requires patience. Alot of it. You won't be able to be in huge races for weeks, (unless you hammer out 4 or 5 hours of solid play a day) Its a very steady game, and its satisfying to watch your collection grow slowly, and unlock bigger races. The graphics and presentation are good, with brilliant designs on the cars, a huge range of cars, easily over 300 with more added over Xbox ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...welcome to my review on Forza Motorsport 2. Ok there are many reasons why i've given this product a five star rating! These are the good points: This game is relatively cheap compared to other games. It's a long game, which is great as it's excellent value for money. The online gaming on this is absolutely brilliant! It shows you how many races you've won, come second or third, also how many you haven't won which is cool to show off towards your ...
...with the game, but there are also some extra cars you can purchase as a package on Xbox live. There is plenty of race tracks, and also they have included a package you can buy on Xbox live with further tracks which is worth getting. The Arcade mode on this game is great fun too, as you can do exibition races, or time trial modes! these will unlock you cars which you can use on multiplayer modes (including Xbox live Online!). During the career mode, ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...has much improved because of Forza 2. You get the perfect racing line every time. After a while you simply take of the helpful aids and see just how much you have improved. Even though this game is a year old the graphics are still something special, maybe only bested by Burnout Paradise. Everything is very sleek and shin, probably not entirely believable but still very nice to look at. Especially the Crashes. Very rarely will play a racing game ...
...To a petrol head/car maniac Forza 2 would be heaven. Everything from the selection of vehicles to the customization will leave you satisfied. This game is at least worth a try, although I would advise some persistence with it. Also, it just goes to show you how good a game can be even though you expect to hate it. ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

I think Forza Motorsport 2 is one of the few racing games that raises the realistic level of the game to such a high level. Playing in Forza Motorsport 2 is like driving a real race car in a real race track. When you turn too hard, you will drift and crash. When you pull the hand brake at 100 mph, you will slide and lose control. When you crash into a wall, your car will break and malfunction. When you have a broken tire, your car will start tilting. ...
...campaign, or also, their longevity. For every tournament you accomplish, you will earn money, a car, and sometimes prizes or discount to upgrades. These features makes the game play really fun because they make you look like a real manager. You get to customize different kind of cars, what to sell, what to keep, and also what part to upgrade. I love this game and play it very often. I think it is a great game, and if you are looking for a realistic ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...I am going to review Forza Motor Sport 2 for the Xbox 360 This game came out on the 8th June 2007 and I got the limited collectors edition which cost around £49.99 it has come down a lot in price now at around £10. Graphics The graphics for the game are really nice considering when it came out as it is on the Xbox 360 it has the option to maximise the use of the Xbox 360 graphics capabilities. The car detail is absolutely stunning with parts of ...
...The amount of cars on Forza is amazing you are able to choose from 310 tuneable cars with the option of additional downloadable content from the Xbox Live Marketplace the cars range from Fiats to Lamborghinis it has them all the detail as I said early is amazing with all the little scratches showing up after a slight knock or head on collision. There is different classes of cars they start at D go to U then the race cars start at R4 and end at R1. ...

when i play Forza Motorsport 2 on the xbox 360 i am still blown away by the amount of cars this game has to choose from. there are more cars in this game than you would belive in fact well over one hundred cars are available in forza 2. you have to work your way through the career mode to get the best start to this game as it is the best way to buy cars from your winnings, there are loads of ways to customize your cars with tune options and a paint ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...second in the series of forza games, from its predecessor, Forza Motorsport. There have been many improvements, graphics, gameplay and handling wise. There are a few different modes to play in, Arcade, Career and Mulitplayer Arcade is basically self explanatory, you pick a car and off you go n a track you choose. Career, you have to earn money, to buy better cars to make progress on the game. And multiplayer is either split screen, or online ...
...the difficulty varies from what you set it too, but can sometimes be quite difficult. The sounds of the cars are also very good, and the realism of mechanical and visual damage is spectacular. The only bad points i could give it are the gamerscore is really hard to get, and the graphics of the maps are sometimes cartoon like i think, but generally the graphics are quite good. This game is worth the money, and fun to play. It gets a 4. ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

Forza 2, the second instalment of the Forza series has to be one of the most exciting and fun driving games out for the Xbox 360. Forza 2 has three main options and they are Arcade mode, Career mode and Multiplayer. Forza 2 is a simulation racing game so it is meant to act like real life racing would so if you want a realistic racing game then this is a good start. The controls for Forza 2 Motorsport use some common methods as in other driving games ...
...afraid the only downside to Forza 2 is some people on this game don't play fair and only ram you off the course. These people have little skill so if you can dodge them then you should be fine to get a good finishing position. Also on multiplayer mode you can use the car auction house which allows you to sell cars online to other Forza 2 users for your chosen price. It's hard to make any profit unless you design your own car. There is also a Forza ...

Review of Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

...i played the demo of forza 2 i was quietly impressed and so brought the game. This is the best simulation racing game i have come across. the braking lines the appear on the road have a huge impact on someone inexperienced as me. the actual handling of cars is as real as it can get. This is a game that really encouages you to tune your car. At first it may be a bit confusing with all the technical data but the help bars at the right hand side are ...
...start with but thats where forza 2 is different, you get a generous choice to start with. The graphics are what you would expect from a next gen game. Playing online is also a good experience, especially if you can meet up with friends and battle for first place. another aspect of online play is that you can save the replays, so if you ever have a dispute of who nudged who off then you can watch the evidence back lol. i personally recommend the ...
