    Just totally dissappointed with this. I was expecting something more. Game Informer for once hit the head on the nail with their review. Just buy a car, put some stickers on it, drive it round and round on the same tracks, get money, buy a car, rinse and repeat. Booooorrriiinnggg.

Booooorrriiinnggg. After trying Forza 2, I picked up Test Drive Unlimted and am having a blast. I can look at cars, inside and out, open doors, windows, upgrade, drive for miles and miles endlessly not on a track, but in cities, mountains etc, even edit my characters face with expansive options and clothes, buy real estate, and most of all, its fun! This is just way too static and dead for my taste. Pass.… Expand

    OK, but not mind blowing graphics. Bland gameplay. Came for free with my XBox. I understand that it is probably "realistic" but any realism takes the place of fun. Snooozzze.

    It gets boring after a while. it doesn't feel like much of a career while playing though. Just wait until Gran Turismo 5 comes out. it will blow this games doors off! look at some previews and interviews for the new features, as I cannot post them here lol!!

    I got this game free with my 360 and, I've got the say, the price is right. The graphics are average at best, the racing is boring and awkward and there's just no fun factor. If this is the best the 360 can offer in terms of racers, then Gran Turismo has no competition.

    Worst game ever, the Wii has racing game with better graphics. The game stutters all over the place as the xbox can't run game. I am on my 5th xbox, as xbox's break down all the time. All my friends had to ship back all of their xbox's because they broke.

    God, racing simulators are boring. If I wanted to drive a car, then I'd drive a car. I don't play games to experience simulations of reality. I'd go outside if I wanted that.

    The rather functional-at-best visuals aside, Forza 2 excels in a way no other racing game has managed this generation. If losing yourself in a vast world of excellent handling and top notch realistic racing is something you crave from videogame racing (and admittedly, this sort of thing isn’t to everyone’s taste), ensure you get hold of Forza 2 as soon as you can - it’ll keep you occupied for months.

    Dangerously addictive and loads of fun, Forza Motorsport 2 has what it takes under the hood to satisfy both car junkies and general gamers alike.

    Forza 2 delivers on nearly every aspect you'd want in a Forza sequel. It drives incredibly, it's wonderfully presented, and it's rich with modes and features.
