Forza Motorsport 2 is a racing simulator video game developed by Turn 10 Studios, and the sequel to the original Forza Motorsport, for the Xbox 360 gaming system.
Overview
Forza Motorsport 2 is a racing simulator on the Xbox 360 games console, the sequel to Forza Motorsport (Xbox). The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel was developed alongside Forza 2 and is designed to work with the game.
Most cars in Forza 2 can be visually customized with both aerodynamic parts as well as graphics. 1,000 layers of graphics can be created with the livery editor to draw shapes, letters and pictures onto a car. According to the developer, it is preventing possible copyright conflicts, also reducing loads in online races. Paint schemes can be auctioned online to other players with Forza points. Many players reproduced paint schemes appeared in real world, or creating Itashas through this system.
The game supports split-screen, System Link and Xbox Live multiplayer gaming. Split-screen allows two player head-to-head racing, while both System Link and Xbox Live allow up to eight players to participate in a single race. Using Xbox Live, players can also buy and sell in-game cars through the game's Auction House.
Forza 2 concentrates on circuit racing; point to point races have been removed.
The damage and physics in the game have been revamped over the previous game, allowing for multiple settings: "simulation," which is the most severe, allowing for damage that can take a car out of commission; "limited," which scales down the severity of impact of crashes; and "cosmetic," where the damage is merely visual. The damage ratings for each part of the vehicle can be seen on the HUD (heads up display) accessed from the in-game menu.
Professional racers playtested the wheel to aid the development in trying to achieve realistic features and settings. Forza Motorsport 2 features force feedback with the use of the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel.
Forza 2 runs at 60 frames per second in 720p resolution (HD), with replays running at 30 frames per second to accommodate additional after-effects.
There are over 300 cars available in Forza Motorsport 2. They are divided into six production classes and four race classes. A car's class can limit races for which it is eligible. The final list of cars was revealed on April 20, 2007.

Is anyone out there who still plays Forza Motorsport 2? I bought it for a couple of months ago and I'm completely stuck. This is way better than any Gran Turismo game, IMO, and I'm glad I bought the threesixty. I'm about 40% finished with the career mode. Just bought one of the car packs with some good ole classic cars, also. (Audi Quattro Sport, Renault 5 turbo, BMW E30 M3 etc)
Oh, and I heard Forza motorsport 3 is coming out this year. Can't wait.
