Forza motorsport 2 > GT.

By NickPring (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Forza 2 Motorsport at the moment is the greatest Racing game to have ever been released on any platform. The graphics are superb and the game's physics are vastly improved from the first release on the original Microsoft XBox. With over 500 cars...

Everything

Multi-player mode could be improved

Forza Motorsport 2 - Xbox 360 review - Pocket-lint

By Chris Pickering (pocket-lint.com)

Award: Hot Product!

Can Forza burn rubber?

Feels absolutely superb to play, looks just as good as it plays, tonnes of cars to play around with

OK, so Forza 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it didn't need too. We bet even Clarkson would enjoy this one

Forza Motorsport 4

By Point Blank (consolegaming.eu)

Rivals mode, Autovista and Top Gear make up the three main attractions of Forza 4.

In conclusion, Forza Motorsport 4 is a step in the right direction for the franchise. It might not be a massive improvement, however that can only happen if Porsche ever returns and more importantly, if we have a proper weather system with night-time...

We have now come to the point where Turn 10 probably cannot do much more besides that. Kinect is a great addition however you're not going to beat any lap times with it. The partnerships with Top Gear and Autovista have certainly payed off. The Rivals...

Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360) review

By Thomas McDermott (darkzero.co.uk)

I love watching Top Gear and tune in every week (or when the BBC can be bothered to air it) to see what the trio of presenters are getting up to. FYI, I do not watch the show due to my love of cars, in fact my vehicular fascination is no where near...

For me, I watch the show for the simple reason that it is highly entertaining TV. Of course the fact that I may also get some information about motors comes as a welcome upshot from watching. Now, after some significant time with Forza 2 I honestly...

Forza Motorsport 2

By James Collins (ic-games.co.uk)

With the ability to collect over 300 cars from over 50 of the world's leading manufacturers, including Ferrari, Porsche, Nissan, VW, GM, and Lamborghini, the latest Forza looks set to surpass the dizzy heights of even the award winning original.

Detail ; Game types ; Multiple appeal

Graphics

However, that doesn't mean this is just the same game with upgraded graphics. Although Forza has a lot of meat to it, novices are well catered for as well. Each race allows you to customise the difficulty level to suit your own personal driving...

Suffice to say Forza does offer something for everyone

Blink and you'll miss the fastest 360 racer yet.

The perfect racing game for all levels of ability, Forza Motorsport 2’s deep customisation options give it an unrivalled lifespan among its genre stablemates. An essential purchase.

Forza Motorsport

By (play.tm)

Since it first appeared, the Xbox has seen some cracking racers. The originals of Project Gotham Racing and Ralisport Challenge were soon superseded by altogether more impressive sequels. PGR2 set a new standard for Live integration while RC2 is...

I am an avid racing simulation fan.....I have played most of the decent sims on most formats. For me GT4 will be one of the best sims for the sheer realism of driving if it follows suit of previous GT games...without getting into a car itself....

Along with other notables such as TOCA 2 and Burnout 3 the Xbox has so far been well served for arcade racers. But as yet it has had nothing that matches the scope of the current king of the racing series, Gran Turismo. But all that is set to change...

Forza Motorsport 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)

By (goodgearguide.com.au)

Convincing physics, near-perfect controls, experience system, tons of upgrades, outstanding multiplayer

Too few environments, somewhat disappointing graphics, moody damage model.

The graphics is not mind-blowing and the damage model has no middle ground, but between the pleasurable addiction of the long career mode, and the undeniable pull of bottomless online play, Forza Motorsport 2 isn't just money well-spent, it's the best...

I bought this game based on the 4-star and 5-star reviews below.

Wonderful

The perfect antidote to the deluge of "chav" racers that reward you for gonig around corners sideways rather than taking a proper approach to racing.

Best driving game for 360

This game is well worth the money. so much to do so many cars and tracks. if your into driving games its a must buy.

Totally Brilliant!

This could probably go on being better than PGR4. There's a few things about that though. PGR4 doesn't have real world tracks and Forza does. But Forz
