Forza Motorsport 2

[Animal]

So i picked this up yesterday after I got my salary. Normally I don't really like simulation racing games but this just blew me away. Graphics are great and races are fun (especially since you can set the difficulty also during your career mode) but the best part about it is the vinyl options.

Thousand layers basicly gives you the ability to make anything you want. I made this great looking Nightmare before christmas car and i was amazed at the result.

I would upload a picture but I can't go online (dammit).

So anyone else got this?

Played the demo in Gamestation, it bored me.

Then I hate you Dragsy, because Forza 2 kicks the shit out of any Gran Turismo I've ever played and I can't wait till I buy my 360 so I can stop playing it at my friend's house.

First racing game since PGR2 I've been interested in. I can see myself getting addicted to making those INSANE custom paintjobs.

[FLiam]

The paintjobs are too hard, you have to make shapes out of other shapes to make it look interesting. It's a letdown, I thought it would be easier.

Me too. I prefer McRae Dirt (except for the annoying American voiceover and the lack of good old Colin himself) and I also prefer TOCA Race Driver 3 on PS2.

People love Forza 2 but for me it's not as good as it could be.

On the subject of painting, the best one I've seen so far, sold for 23 million on the auction house haha.

Now, Viva Pinata is a most excellent game.

[Gongsun Zan]

Shit, I could play that game for the sole purpose of buying other people's paintjobs.

Money is a bitch to make though, and with Guitar Hero and a bunch of Wii games lying around, it's kinda hard to get on my play list.

Fuck whoever has thsi game.

I want it

What's supposed to be so special about it? Other than drawing on your car....

The physics run at 320+ FPS so you feel every little bump in the road as your playing, the graphics are good, theirs a good selection of cars(300+) but its a pure simulation between the way they handle, the way you can tune everything on your car so if you like NFS you wouldn't like this ;o.

I'd really like to enjoy this game, but I just can't. Even arcade style racing games bore the hell out of me after a while but simulations make me want to snap the disc in half the moment I drive about half a kilometer in-game.

Needless to say I'll be passing on this one.

I like NFS and Forza.

You don't have to only like arcadey or sim racing games, you can like both as different entities.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

See, I've probably spent more hours on the first three Gran Turismo games in my time than nearly every other game....I LOVE a good racing simulation game but Forza just annoys me and I'm not sure why. I love GT, Dirt, F1 on the PS3....So I like me plenty of different racing games, but Forza just doesn't do it for me...May be controls, may be the clunky feel....Though it may be good with the force feedback steering wheel.

Turn the racing line off .

That's just to help begginers, it's off if you don't play on the easiest mode.

Oh and, heres a picture I took after a terrible handbrake turn in my Lancia Delta.

Beautiful game though.
