Bridging The Gap
Up until now, I've been sick of racing games-I've only owned one in fact, being Sega GT 2002, which I only bought because it was 99 cents, but I've played numerous, including all the PGR's and Gran Turismo's. Forza Motorsport 2 got me excited enough that I bought it for list price, which, I never do for games, ever. <
><
>Was it worth it? Of course. The best part about this game is that it doesn't muddle around in the spectrum of arcade and simulation, no, it is a simulation, it is ultra realistic, but it gives you aids that let you drive it like an arcade until you get the hang of it, including ABS, TCS and Racing Line. <
><
>I have a tiny bone to pick with the racing line. It's great, and it does adapt to your car depending on the maneuvering capabilities, but the braking is sometimes off-I find it telling me to brake in occasions where its not necessary or telling me to brake too late, but this is not often, that said, it can be the difference between a podium finish and a busted car. <
><
>Speaking of busted car, the damage is superb, but from a purely non-superficial viewpoint-all cars have different sensitivities to damage, and damage actively effects things such as aerodynamics, making your car veer, which could also be because of broken parts around the wheels. The only thing which is disappointing was the the cars get scratched and broken well on the outside, but they do not crumple as cars in real life would, they will only compact a few inches from their original shape even at 150 mph collisions. That said, so far, no racing simulator has pulled this off. <
><
>The graphics are very good, and fine detail is not overlooked, for example if you go in the dirt it appears on the front of your car and so on. The only thing is that sometimes everything seems too perfect-by that I mean the cars are always shining and also the weather never changes, which is a negative by my watch. I would have looked forward to trying out the rain in such a realistic game. <
><
>The customization is good, but at times can be tricky. I have still not found out how to mirror vinyls. That means that if I want something to look like its coming off of the wheel on one side, so far I haven't found a way to mirror that on the otherside, it stays the same and looks like its coming off the rear wheel. Also, the body kits are limited, and most of them only have body kits supplied by the game itself. Overall though, the possibilities are endless due to the huge amounts of vinyls to work with and the abilities to distort them, not just make them bigger or smaller in proportion. <
><
>There is also something else this game does which most racing games seem to be doing less and less. When playing this game, it may almost feel a little spartan in comparison to most other racers, be it Gran Turismo or Toca Race Driver, and that's because it gives you what you need-by that I mean there are no useless functions in the game that don't matter. When customizing your car, the background is white, rather than a garage for a regular feel. Also, the racing modes are only conventional modern races, with a span of production to racing cars, unlike other games which provide everything from Monster Truck Races to races taking place in the early 1900's. In short, they focused on what matters, and because of that, it's simply amazing.

best driving game to date
i'm loving everything about the game. the graphics and sound are awesome. the physics are good. car damage is cool. for me, the visuals of being able to modify the car, putting on different rims, lowering the car, etc. and taking pictures make the game that much more. the game is much more enjoyable after i got the drivefx wheel from logitech.

No interior View.
After playing the awesome PGR 3 on my xbox 360, I was fully hyped to play FM2, especially since it touted itself as a driving "simulator". I even got it the day it came out. <

>When I got it home and plugged in the driving wheel, I was hugely dissapointed. There's no interior view of the car. Instantly, half the driving experience is lost. For example, so much of the Mclaren F1 experience is due to the single front seat with the steering wheel in the middle of the dash. The cool rpm lights on the Enzo Ferrari also play a part huge part of the in game experience of that car. It doesn't hit you on a technical level, and it wont add bumps to your force feedback driving wheel, but it does hit you on an emotional level. <
><

>Car designers think long and hard about the look and feel of a cockpit and how the outside world is framed through their windows. This game totaly disregards all of that, instead portraying the cars as purely technical. Even the fact you've stripped out your interior and are looking through a roll cage says something about the car's driving experience. <
><
> <
><
>Yes you can tweak pretty much everything about the motor, wheels, tires and paint job, and yes Forza is that much better on the Microsft Driving Wheel than PGR 3 (and definitely NFS Carbon!) but all that is lost without the full driver experience of actually *sitting* in the car instead of floating above it. <
><

>Also the weather never changes. Why is it always sunny? How about some tough driving conditions? wet weather? fog, icy roads? Look at the weather that occurs at Le Mans! 24 hours rain or shine. Normally I wouldn't mind, but to me these are all vital parts of how you experience the car. It's not just about the motor. <

>I played this for two days, but finally reverted back to PGR 3. If you are a gear head this product is for you.. actually even then I'm not sure it is. This game does not offer the full driving experience.
