Forza Motorsport 2

Great, but very difficult Racing Sim!

I know I know...it should be hard. I've heard it all before and I knew it when I decided to load it up for a play. Luckily, I won this one from Tropicana so I didn't feel too bad when I realized how NOT GOOD I was at this game. Don't get me wrong, die-hard sim fans will love it as the level of reality in the game is super-high. I remember watching a show on the making of where they intereviewed all the developers involved. The time and effort put into the realism was extensive and in my opinion... well worth it. Granted, I may not be very good at the game but that doesn't mean it's not a great game. The tracks are better, the cars more numerous and varied, the graphics totally kick ass and the customization options nearly endless. Oh yeah...for those of you like me who suck at this type of game, there's even an extensive selection of difficulty options which can seriously dumb down the skill required to advance through the game. Online racing is awesome of course...but be careful, those serious Forza racers out there don't take kindly to rubbin' when racing. Definitely worth the trade...if for no other reason then to see if you've got what it takes to finish the game! Enjoy!
