Forza 2 Hands-On

[Rich Tate]

Gamespot has some hands-on action of one of the most anticipated driving titles of the year.

Take Forza Motorsport 2, the sequel to the 2005 racing game for the original Xbox. We've been following the progress of this game for months now, but it wasn't until today that we got our first chance to sit down with the game, explore some of its nooks and crannies, and start putting it through its paces.

Ive got my fire extinguisher! haha

I like racing games and have both systems, so I am a fan of both

I have been waiting for forza 2 forever.

I still remember gearing up to get it Jan 07, but then it just kept moving further and further away

Hey I really liked Foraza for the original Xbox game console(hence as to why i still own/play it), graphically was it the best looking simulator? No, however it was fun as hell to play with others(at lest for me and the other racers online i race with).

GT is good in its own right too as it offers a slightly different game play experience when compared to Foraza, However I lost interest in the series after the second iteration of GT, with only demoing versions three and four this meant that i didn't get under the hood(pun intended) of its more recent tittles to really see if i would like them... but that gets back to the lack of interest issues i have with GT.

Ultimately the two series are like tea(tea being the genera), one has its own distinct flavor, while the other is meant to satisfy a different rage of desired taste.
