So, raise your hand if you’ve ever been blown away by a racing game. Now put your hand down if you’re normally a racing game fan. Please note that my hand is still up.
I am one of the people who has recently had their world seriously rocked by this incredible racing game. So let’s talk turkey about this game.
Pros:
- This game has the greatest in-game graphics I have ever seen, especially in a racing game. The wheels are actually round, the shading and lighting are realistic and intense.
- The suggestion line is a fantastic idea. I normally suck at racing games, so the suggestion line really helped.
- Everything is online. There are leaderboards, online races, and you can even upload all of your photos and videos.
Cons:
- The controls are a bit too sensitive, and I couldn’t figure out how to configure the sensitivity.
- A bit of a nitpick, but it would have been great if I could have kept the music playing while racing. They had some good stuff there.
- The website where it uploads all the info to requires Flash. I really wish Microsoft would stop using Flash for all their Xbox web interfaces.
The bottom line is that Forza Motorsport 2 has won me over to racing games.

I like the game too except that there’s only 10 tracks (wtf?!!) even mario cart on the nintendo ds has 64 tracks and that’s not including the reverse ones. It’s too bad microsoft wants to nickel and dime us gamers to death for tracks via. download content that should have been in a full priced game. Also the graphics are good but nothing special really. You’re probably new to gaming or something.

A very good point. I’m so entranced with the variety of cars and upgrades that I didn’t even really notice that… but as I said, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to racing games.
