Fun with Forza Motorsport 2: User-created cars
click above image to view more user-created cars from Forza 2
Forza Motorsport 2 debuted on the Xbox 360 recently as the premier driving game for Microsoft's next-gen console. We haven't picked it up yet, but will be heading to Best Buy soon with our coupon in hand to procure it. Until then, our blogging brothers over at Joystiq found some Forza fans who are already having a good time designing their own cars in the game's editing mode. We particularly like the Bewitched Charger, Super Mario Bros. Skyline and For a Few Dollars More Mustang. There's plenty more to see in our gallery, and gamers have been adding new pics to this forum thread at a steady pace. If you have any cool creations, send high-rez shots to abresearch at gmail dot come and we'll add them to our gallery.

I'm in desperate need of an Xbox and a 26-hour day.

Uh, that is because there is no 900 degree wheel available on the market for the Xbox 360. How is that Forza's fault?

This game is terrible. I kept it 2 days and sold it. Going back to GT4 till GT5 comes out.

I don't know that Forza would appeal to diehard GT fans. Part of GT's appeal is its art direction, which is lifelike and gorgeous, but I always felt like they sacrificed gameplay at the altar of style.
So I'm a diehard Forza fan now. I love the physics, I love the choice of cars, I lovelovelove the livery editor. But the problem is, Turn10 appears to have sacrificed style for the sake of gameplay.
So in the end it depends on which is more important to you.

Justin probably just works for Sony or one of their affiliates trolling message boards slamming anything that isn't PS2/PS3.
Forza 2 is really just what Forza 1 was supposed to be.
The tuner cars need to go. Wings West EP3 Civic Si? Aerogear Integra? WTF?
And a cockpit view on a 4:3 TV screen would be totally worthless. Less so on a 16:9 HDTV, but still, unless you're actually IN a REAL car and DRIVING it, the cockpit view is worthless. If it's a racing video game, you simply have to play it from 3rd person perspective.
Forza 2 also has the ability to use multiple 360 consoles and televisions to make a composite image. While this is probably rare, statistically you are a lot more likely to have a friend with a 360 than a PS3. Probably the first console video game with multiple monitor support (assuming you have an extra console around).
And while PS3 fans rock themselves quietly to sleep whispering "Gran Turismo" between bursts of tears, I'll be playing Forza 2 online with my friends, with custom liveries, a user-based car auction house, and cash in my pocket.
