So I finally got it..played for a couple hours last nite. Here is my initial review of Forza 2. I will lower my fanboy flag and give some honest critic

It starts off w/ the same intro as the demo..it's safe, not as annoying as the one in Forza 1. I jumped into Career mode, presentation has the original Forza feel but much more polished. I chose the Japan region and looked for a race mule. This is where the blandness slaps you in the face..none of the cars jump out and make you think, this car looks cool..I want to drive it

I choose the Savanna RX-7 and started the beginner races. It's a real nuetral car and fun to toss around. After you get used to the weight transfer it starts to feel too easy though. I originally started w/ the AI on medium and ABS on so then I changed it to no assists and AI on hard..WOW those little buggers are fast and talented! I really had to push my little RX7 to catch up and it made me appreciate the physics more. The AI has really improved..in one turn I tried to late brake and pass on the outside, then noticed another AI car trying to pass the same car on the inside I was not expecting that..we were three deep in the turn and no one willing to give ground. The middle one eventually fell back and then it was a dash to the next turn. Fun race Brake modulation is much better than the first game..it's real easy to get the right amount of pedal before locking up. The beginner races get annoying after awhile bc it's the same location just different ribbons..so you get the same scenery same lighting, they should have changed it up a little.

The first car I won was the Trueno..kinda ugly so I decided to make it look nice. Changed the 80's style wheels to Work Equips. What I thought was ass backwards was the rim size mod. You have to first buy the wheel, then pay to make them bigger..then pay to make them wider? You should be able to select your rim, height and width from the beggining and pay one price..but that's nitpicking. I love the fact that lighter wheels add to the performance of the car. Heavier wheels can be used as a tool to bring the perf index down if you want to get out of a class. Painting is nice, though when you paint the wheels it paints the whole wheel..so if it has a shiny lip that gets painted too Also some cars are two-toned and only one color can be changed. After I customizing the Trueno that bland feeling started to go away I also won a 240Z (my fav car at the mooment) I customized that one too, took a pic and uploaded it to the FM.net servers and here it is (shrunk it)



So far every car I won has been a blast to drive no perf mods needed. I later checked the leaderboards and was able to toggle and see what lap times my friends were running. It also gives you details as to their perf index and what assists they used. So far I am satisfied w/ the game. GT did spoil me in the looks dept and it occasionally urks me that Forza doesn't look the same but I'm having fun and for now it's all that matters.

This game really just makes me that much more excited for GT5. It's more to just hold me over.

If you're talking about the motion blur, that's not something that occurs in real life, that only occurs in film. This isn't a game about blowing your mind with speed it's about RACING, and tuning a car for racing.

Thanks for ruining my dreams about no real life motion blur.
