Forza Motorsport 2
Game Description
It's exceedingly rare when you can say that a driving game is built for everybody. Considering how splintered the driving-game players can be, with the loyal sim-savvy fans on one side and the more casual, arcade-oriented crowd on the other, most games that have tried to appeal to both markets haven't pulled it off. Yet, Microsoft's Forza Motorsport for the Xbox flew in the face of other such failures. It created a game that was both easily available and unusually deep, with a challenge level so climbable that you'd be hard pressed not to find some setting you liked. At Present, Forza has come to the Xbox 360, and expectations are understandably high. In most regards, Forza Motorsport 2 delivers on those prospects. Not only does it continue to improve and tweak an already fantastic driving model, but it also piles on many more cars, loads more tracks, more modes, and more features than you'll know what to do with. That's not to call the game flawless, but for every little quirk that pops up in Forza 2, there are a myriad of awesome elements to make those issues practically irrelevant.
Forza 2 cobbles together more than 300 cars from 50 major manufacturers; a shed load of licensed, aftermarket parts and upgrades; and 12 racing environments, several of which are real-world tracks like Laguna Seca, Mugello, Sebring, and the dastardly Nürburgring. It's a sound jump in content over the original Forza, especially with the cars. Seeing through the list, you'll race in everything from a Volkswagen Golf or Mini Cooper to top-of-the-line Ferraris, McLarens, and Saleens. It's a great list, with lots of custom-built variations on favorite rides and extremely fast racers. Between the 12 tracks, 47 different ribbons are available, meaning many of the tracks can be raced through a host of different ways. The greatest tracks in the game tend to be the ones established on real life. A couple of the tracks can be real snoozers, but even they have a ribbon or two that can be fun, given the right situation.
