Forza 2, I know I'm a little late

I have borrowed Forza 2 from Justin for about three months before I decided to buy a copy for myself and give him his copy back. Now that we have been playing together I see that my assists are hampering me from truly performing on the track.

We spent a little time getting a couple cars set up for drift and after hours of tweaking this or that. I’m going to gradually turn off the assists. I know if I change it all at once I’ll get mad and put the game down all together.

Now that I have spent a good time on this game I feel I can give it criticism.

First, is anyone else experiencing the occasional over correction that sends you back and forth across the road like that dog I couldn’t avoid? (the dog didn’t make it, not even a yelp) It happens when you start to drift out or if you ever so subtly get off onto the grass and try to recover. Next thing you know you’re on the opposite side of the track, your front end is smashed up leaving you facing the wrong direction watching you competition wave as they go by.

Yeah, that’s my first complaint.

Second is that stupid 3-something-mile Rattlesnake track. Does anybody really enjoy running on that track? Did the designers think, “man, it would be cool to create a track where you took your high performance car and not be able to break 70 miles per hour”. What the F. Hello, I do this already everyday I go to work. So since you’re so cool that you created a track that recreates my commute, why don’t you just create “SimJob”. So I can play like I’m at work, while I’m at home trying to relax from work. Just think of the possibilities. You could pay taxes, get expensive illnesses, have crappy bosses, and the ultimate 401K baby. Now that would be a game!

Does that explain my feelings about that track? I hope so.

And to all race games out there, STOP GIVING ME 6 VARIATIONS OF THE SAME CARS! Please give me a variety; there are only so many Porsche’s out there. I think you have two of each!

Oh and I love racing those really crappy 58hp cars from Europe. Now when I want to play a racing game, a top speed of 72mph is where it’s at.

Other than that, I really like Forza 2!
