Forza 2, for the 360, is a blast to play so far. I've played it for about 9 hours so far, and I love the cars I've unlocked so far. My baby is a 67 Shelby Mustang with a few decals over a nice dark green. I also like the difference in handling between a front wheel drive, a rear wheel drive, and a all wheel drive. I also was surprised at the beefiness of the audio when it came to the old school muscle cars. I'm not a tuner type, so i couldn't tell you if the performance is realistic, but the speed blur is nearly perfect, as are the graphics as a whole. Showing off your car is enjoyable, as is driving it, although after some upgrades it can become more of a game to see if you can lap the entire field before the end of the race. Another nice feature of the game is the ability to tweak the difficulty in various areas of gameplay, from the AI's ability level, to the use of stabilizing systems. The changes to the difficulty are given extra weight in that they affect your monetary reward at the end of each race; for example, with the easiest settings on, you lose about 20% of your winnings, in addition to the cost of any repairs needed to your car. I'll keep playing to see if the later portion of the game is as enjoyable, but I think that's a given.
9 out of 10 only because of some strange speed wobbles that tend to hit late race when the AI is charging hard.

I'm more of a role playing PS2 kind of gal, but I'm glad you're enjoying your new game!
In that case check out Odin Sphere or anything from Nippon Ichi Software (NIS America). Also check out the Wild Arms, Suikoden, and Shin Megami Tensei series'. All are enjoyable and the older ones tend to be relatively inexpensive for a used copy.
