| great game. SP gets repetitive, but all racing games do (to me). Fun soundtrack, great cars. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 5.0 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 3.5 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.5 | | Single Player | | 4.0 | | Multiplayer | | 4.0 | | Overall | | 4.5 | |

| Graphics rocked with paint jobs, as long as you do not put anything X-rated and try to ride online, sell, or buy one. Due to that, I am down to my final chance, before a lifetime ban gets to me (Not proud of it). Sound is great in a way you could hear the roar of your motor as you racing along the track. Replay value is weak to me, due to the fact I want all the cars and I ended up re-racing a lot when I said a lot, I mean a lot. The controls are good if you never play a racing game before. Single player has three modes of play, which will take you more than 60 hours worth of playtime. Multiplayer is fine as long as you play with (a) friend(s) or be ready to have your rep shot down. Overall, this is one racing game to get. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 4.0 | | Replay value | | 4.5 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.5 | | Single Player | | 4.0 | | Multiplayer | | 4.5 | | Overall | | 4.0 | |

| Love the game, only thing that they could have done better is make the environments a little more "plush". whatever that means. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 5.0 | | Replay value | | 4.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.5 | | Single Player | | 5.0 | | Multiplayer | | 4.0 | | Overall | | 4.0 | |

| The single player is very solid with a lot of replayability, along with tight realistic controls for the cars, and sound that if you crank it up will actually make you feel like you are in the race. The suggested racing line is also back and much more streamlined than the first to help new players learn the track and not discourage casual gamers, this is a big part of what got me into Forza. Car customization also comes back from the first even better than before. The layer limit was pushed up from 100 to 500 allowing for some really detailed works of art unlike any seen in the previous game, though many of the better paint jobs on that game were amazing. The only thing that was a downfall for this game in my eyes that kept me from playing it for months on end, was the multiplayer. Being an avid OG Forza player which I still play to this day, I really miss the old system of distributing cars. They could have just streamlined the Buy and Sell rooms a little bit more instead of implementing the auction house. Now you either have to gift cars to your friends or you have to put it to auction and hope a stranger doesn't buy it then dupe your paint job and put his own tag on it. This part of the game really made me angry. The online racing is still great which is what saves this title for me but also the lack of car clubs killed the community on this game as well.
Most of the things about the multiplayer that irk me and other veteran players of the original, should not really bother a new face to this game which is still awesome. Bottom line if you want a good realistic racing sim that is easy to get into but difficult to master this is a great buy and I am rather sure that it can be found for under 30 dollars.

| Lots of stuff to do in FORZA 2. The racing was very realistic as far as car handling and tuning, but it just was not my thing. I prefer a more arcadey racing game like PGR and NFS.
The best part of the game in my opinion was the tuning and painting of the cars. The tuning is an artform in itself and guys that knew how to do it well were in high demand last summer. | | | |
