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 two games it is far to easy. In 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 ...  Read the complete review

WARNING: Long Review >_> Back in September 2007, I bought this game as I was in need of a good racing game. Having been released back in June 2007, it was only around 3 months old, but it felt newer! When I later found out that there was a very active online community on the game and around the internet, I realised that this game was in full play. When racing, there is a 60 frame per second picture, which adds to the brilliant thrill. It has to be the most realistic racing simulator I have ever played, and you must note that this is a simulator - not an arcade racer! It is more realistic than Gran Turismo 4 and has superb graphics too. There are more ...  Read the complete review

Let me begin by saying that I am a true Gran Tourismo fan. I have owned and played to death every version of the game on the PS2. Every other racing game I have played I have compared to GT and found lacking. This was one of the factors that was steering me towards a PS3. However, when a friend asked me to look after his Xbox 360 whilst he went on holiday, all this changed. So, where to begin? As you would expect from a Next Gen title, the graphics are amazing. And not just a little bit either. The attention to detail if phenomenal. The car models are truly fantastic, and the damage function is implemented really well, with buts flying with every ...  Read the complete review

Ok I have to say that I have been seriously looking forward to this game since I heard back at the launch of the 360 console that it would be coming it's way. I was a huge fan of the original game, lots of custom bits for all the cars, being able to make the car look pretty individual just by changing the bumpers and wheels and thats before you even began work on the transfers which allowed you to create virtually any design you wanted. The racing action was good, it looked great, live options were good with a wide variety of races available including uphill, downhill, track, point to point and offroad. So when I got my hands on the shiny limited edition box set of ...  Read the complete review

I think the last review has summarised this game perfectly, I got the limited edition last week and its just great. The graphics are just brilliant, very high attention to detail, its sounds quite realistic aswell, its a race simulator rather than a driving game though, its not like PGR 3 where you can bounce off the walls without a scratch, you've really got to learn the racing lines, buy the right upgrades and learn the tracks/cars, its very realistic. There is a great selection of cars available aswell and one feature I love is the "auction house", if you've got an xbox live gold account, you can bid or buyout cars that have already had ...  Read the complete review
