In addition to the amazingly detailed level of car customization you can do under the hood to affect car performance, Forza’s popular painting tools are back, with even more stencils and paint layers from which to craft amazing looking graphics.
Simply put, Forza 2 is much more than just another racing simulation on the console; it’s the closest thing to the realization of a racing fan’s dream game that we have ever seen.

One of the best racing games of all time, only losing to it's sucessors, FM is a 10/10 franchise and this game is one of the reasons, Gran turismo is not even close.

Thanks to the driving aid system, it offers a racing experience that can be modified to suit any player's desire and skill level.
The racing, in itself, is excellent. Striking a wonderful balance between simulation and thrills. [July 2007, p.86]
Forza 2 is real world driving honed to perfection, and easily the best racing experience on the Xbox 360.
Overall, I am pretty impressed with Forza Motorsport 2 as there is more than enough content to keep anyone happy and the ability to change the difficulty is just great.
Developer Turn 10 focused on making the cars handling as realistic as possible, an admirable effort, but the result makes the game a little boring.
_что является главным критерием интереса в гоночных играх? Конечно увлекательность! С Forza Motorsport 2 было не скучно, это очень важно, не смотря на дату выпуска игры пройденная карьера оставила гордый отпечаток в памяти

Review on the single player:
PRESENTATION:
- Graphics are good even today. The cars are authentic and detailed, you can tell it's a high quality production. The environment and maps are realistic yet a bit boring, especially after seeing the same scenery over and over. Also note that car decals look grubby. Still a good looking game.
- The music is good electronic music in the menu's, but apart from that there aren't any good memorable original Forza songs. Sound effects of the cars are pretty realistic but nothing to write home about.
GAMEPLAY:
- There is no story, expected from a racer, but the game feels very dead. There's no one talking to you, it's just select a race and drive, nothing else.
- Driving feels authentic and realistic and still maintains to be fun and addictive. It has loads of cars with tons of authentic customisation options. Being a realistic racer though, it comes with some pacing issues. It starts off slow with bad cars. Once you get the hang of it you'll start unlocking good cars and the game really starts to pick up. Once you get into the Race class (after the supercars) though the game is tedious: a single cup will take you about 60 mins because you're doing about 8 laps per race. The first two laps are always fun but after that it's 95% of the time already determined if you're going to win or lose. The game gives you the options to make it as hard or as easy as you want it to be, but since you don't want to spend 15 mins to do one race over again you want to start a race knowing you can win. Finding a good balance is hard and the game leaves it up to you to find it.
VERDICT:
It's great as a realistic racer, but as a game gets a bit tedious after a while
+ tons of real cars with authentic customisation
+ fun and realistic driving mechanics
- it feels a bit dead with the same scenery over and over and little overall variation
- it gets very tedious further in the game as you're spending so much time doing one race
7.4/10

Barebones, unpolished full price demo of a racing game. Why there is so many good reviews? I don't get it, lol. I have only one rule for a racing game: if driving isn't satisfying - the game is bad, and I don't mean just "it ****" or else like it. The only difference between cars in FM2 is just drive wheels and I mean that's almost it. There's no feel to weight, power in a class of cars, speed, handling - nothing of it. It's just 4WD, FWD or MR. This is just pathetic.

God, racing simulators are boring. If I wanted to drive a car, then I'd drive a car. I don't play games to experience simulations of reality. I'd go outside if I wanted that.
