    With ranging, alluring challenges that offer tons of key rewards, all under a difficulty that feels just right, FR2 offers an outstanding but affordable package that you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. It just may be the best ten bucks you’ve ever spent.

    The arcadey physics and simple tracks make for a pretty bland experience.

    This game has some of the worst driving physics I’ve ever seen in a racing game.

    This is a great buy! For 9.99 you get a game that is very similar to Burnout and Burnout 2....let's call this one Burnout Zero!!!

    ...for 1/5th the price. I never thought this game would be as good as it is. I have been raving about Ford Racing 2 (PS2) for days now (I only bought it a couple of days ago, but the raving will NEVER stop)! For the price, I have never seen a better game that made me want to play it more and more. The physics (near spot on, for various reasons known), the graphics - they are GREAT! I can't say enough about them The Sound - near perfect The Options - crazy amount of options like Dolby Digital II, Support for Driving Force and Driving Force Pro steering wheels, Wide Screen or Standard The Graphics - great replays, lighting and particle effects ...and the Gameplay - one of the best I've seen to date! Period. Allowing the option to unlock this car or that car is nothing short of sheer brilliance. Include the fact that I unlock something after almost EVERY race?! If you like racing, get it. If you love Ford cars/trucks, get it! If you want a great game without shelling out 5 times the price, stop reading this review and GET THE GAME.… Expand

    Fairly playable and for 20 notes you can't really moan about it.

    What's great about this game is how the cars feel. The Mach 1 is a boat in the corners. The GT90 Concept is F1 tight. Watching the replay is half the fun. The landscapes are done quite well. The big old V8s sound great. The whole disk is more like a bunch of mini-games using Fords from 6 decades. The drafting challange is my favorite. There is no tweeking the cars and so what? Who doesn't have a dozen games and three Gran Turismos to do that with? This is a great game for $10! I give it a 7 judging it against driving games at any price, but a 10 for every dollar it cost brand new.… Expand
