The second in the series of the Forza Motorsport franchise, this installment offers a far bigger range of cars yet a smaller range of tracks, both real life tracks and virtual ones.
The Plot: Well there isn't much of a plot to this game, it's mainly about buy a car, modify it, win some races, buy a better car, win some races, modify it and so on. You start out with a fairly basic car which you then go on to race against other very basic cars, you then earn CR, this allows you to add performance, handling and body and aero dynamic modifications or skip that process totally skip that phase out or you could save your CR and just get a better car. They didn't excell themselves on thinking of a better story ie racing in tournaments and cut scenes, however it is strangely rewarding. 4/10
The Graphics: Brilliant, there isn't any other word for it they are very nice and consise. The details on the car are very good, the out side bits of the tracks aren't very good, but if your in the middle of a very tight race and are fully focused on the podium, you won't notice it and if you do. LOOK AT THE TRACK. Another nice touch is when you brake hard to turn into a corner the brake discs glow bright orange because of the heat however it's slightly stupid to have it on every single car even small hatch backs. Very pleasing graphics, they are brilliant. 8/10
The Gameplay: Very good, as a driving/racing sim it is top notch. You can actually feel to surge of power from the "super" cars very realistically. The way, when you brake you have to ease it off slowly before you start turning (just like in real life, brilliant) the realism is second to none (well maybe GT5 if it's ever made) The game can be slightly annoying when your cars engine blows because the top gear isn't tall enough. Another nice touch is being able to fine tune your car, everything from ride height to tire inflation, from bump damping to the differential set up. Excellent. 7/10
The Sound: Well only really engine noise and tyre squeal are the only noises in the game while racing, and since they didn't have to over do themselves and they did rather well, when you have an uprated exhaust or are driving sports car/supercar the noise from the engine is sublime and the tyre squeal couldn't have been a huge job and they did that well as well. In short, they couldn't have done a better job. 8/10
Overall: A very good game, brilliant graphics and game play, a less than medicore plot and basic yet robust sound quality. An excellent game, wether you're a complete car fanatic or a complete novice, a new gamer or a very experienced one. A must buy.
An awesome game 9/10
