I remember seeing all the cars with hentai girls all over the auction house. This was before any kind of moderation was put in lol.
GTSport was like that to at launch. So many hentai liveries lol
What’s sad is, FM2’s Auction House is no longer functional and this game had some unicorn cars 😂
Omg!!! I remember they were so expensive most of the time. Throwback!!
Justin Roberts for sure :)
Good times...
Wow all the previous Forza are 90 and 90+ on metacritic
Forza Motorsport 92%
Forza Motorsport 2 90%
Forza Motorsport 3 92%
Forza Motorsport 4 91%
Well after that you know....
Yeah metacritic is way off. I don't think I've heard of anyone putting FM3 above FM4 and there's virtually no reason to.
o k too be honest you did not tell anyone what scores the Forzas after that got. Forza 6 got a 87 which is still extremely high as well as forza 7 with 86 points. For a horizon 3 and 4 got 92 points.. it is one of the highest scores forza has ever gotten. But of course people need to shit on a game because of repetitive gameplay. I honestly think that a hybrid between both forza would be the best solution to this problem.

@@defyyourlogic487 3 is better than 4th in certain aspects.
@@MJ-uk6lu in which other than improving more than its previous title?
I miss the first 4 Forza games. The series had an edge, it had something to prove. It was the new kid on the block that tried to be the exciting, fun alternative to Gran Turismo, and it absolutely succeeded. Now with 7, the series feels a bit lifeless. At least the Horizon series still has that spark, but it makes me a little sad considering Motorsport 3 and 4 are some of my all time favorite racing games.
Agree completely
I feel that Horizon Games are more lifeless but when it comes to UI modern Forza Games look kinda rough to similar to Horizons bload. But the Rainy races in Forza 6 and 7 are Fantastic tho.
Forza 4 was peak Forza
yup
JSR Devon still got that sitting in my 360 at this very moment
The only good Forza Motorsport game on Xbox One is no.6. 5 was disappointingly shallow and 7 ruined the game with lootboxes, which are thankfully illegal in certain countries due to it being confirmed as gambling!
Cyberbrickmaster1986 But you don’t buy micro transactions to open them, it’s not gambling if you’re wasting your cr
Nope
I remember back in middle school where I was one of the few kids that owned an Xbox 360. Having titles such as Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Crackdown, Forza Motorsport 2, Transformers: The Game, and Stuntman: Ignition,
Being the overly-friendly people person, I invited a few of my buddies for a weekend gaming session.
Those were good times.
It was a nightmare to keep getting the red ring of death on the original models of the Xbox 360! Thankfully the 2010 model addresses that issue, but I'm still afraid to have it running for too long, though not as much as the first few years of having it.
I remember in primary school I was one of the few kids who didn't have a ps2, but instead I had an Xbox and Halo, and every sleepover we would play through Halo: CE on Heroic and once on Legendary...ahh I miss the good days of Halo.
@Suvraj grewal Oh, I have my fair share of Halo memories myself. It was when my dad was big into gaming and got me hooked into stuff like Halo, Midnight Club II, Jet Set Radio Future, Dead to Rights, Brute Force, and the Rallisport Challenge games.
I also remember when me and my dad collected demo discs from the Xbox Official Magazine.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 i never got the red ring of death, with a launch model xbox 360, the way it broke was that the disctray wouldnt move anymore
@@OvercastCoob You were lucky to not get it. Too bad it stopped working over time regardless. I guess if anyone is to get a refurbished Xbox 360, they should never get any model below the 2010 S version!
love your reviews
Dude stop watching videos and start doing the ones for your channel, i want that sims games on handhelds video
@@Jorgemagottnumber9 haha soon, soon ;)

I love to see the same persons in the same kind of channels and videos. Hail minimme
This is where I started getting the Forza fever, pretty much getting hooked in nearly every title, including the spin-off Horizon titles.
Fucking virgin.
I got into Forza with this game too! I got every game except for Forza 7. I also have the first few Horizon games with the third being my favourite. Though I may get Forza Horizon 4 some time as a digital purchase.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 the base version of horizon 4 is included with gamepass
@@cookybiscuit lmfao
How about pgr 1 and 2
We need to get TURN10 to bring back the boost gauge
MaRk TaRd yeah I booted up this game again recently and was quite surprised to see it included with the HUD
@@roddydykes7053 both Forza 1 + 2 have the boost gauge and from 3 on to 7 don't have it.. and need tohave a setting where you can read it either in bar or psi
Just hold down on D pad and the Telemetry will come up with your cars PSI and many other things. Yes, I know it's not as cool as having the gauge, but will tell you exactly what you're pushing.
And the Fiero.
MaRk TaRd ikr, how could they have gone backwards with the UI after this?
He forgot to mention the kickass soundtrack! Other than that, great review!
Thats not how you spell awful.
This is one of the only games I had to turn the god awful music off, it was unbearable.
The soundtrack wasn't that good. Forza 3 & 4's soundtrack was better. The only music I liked from Forza 2's soundtrack was the trance music.
Menu music for fm2 was very unique and they had a lot of bangers
Forza 4 is the best one in the series, such a great racing game.
Yeah. It had the Pontiac Fiero too. 😀
4 has got a lot of eye candy, IMHO. 2 had substance
@@F1fan4eva 2 was a beefier game with more soul. 4 was the last good one before it became souless and hollow.
2 is the best.
The first Forza was my first Xbox game, this and NFS: Most Wanted were my first 360 games.
Wanna take a guess on the first game I played on Xbox One?
No thanks.
Forza 5 6 7 horizon 3 4
@@armedessential There is also Horizon 2 on Xbox One. I would of left it out, except you included Forza 5 and 7.

Forza 2 was when I switched from gran turismo and PlayStation over to xbox...i never looked back and I'm happy with my decision.
FELiPES101 me too.
same thing here 👍
I kinda did that, but instead of getting an Xbox One, I got a PlayStation 4.
@@federicoarieldominguez104 well all the forza games for Xbox One were questionable at best, and gran turismo only got one lackluster release this generation

worth reading
This game is the reason why I fell in love with cars and am now doing an engineering degree and a pretty capable simracer
How's it going so far? Still working on it?
too bad you cant review the online portion of these games anymore.
They were excellent online. You could create your own server/lobby and fine tune everything to your liking and even 'lock' your server/lobby to your country/region. Next to that, you could find lobbies within your region, or outside your region if you wish. (But this would cause lots of lag for everyone).
This game was my introduction to the Forza Motorsport series, I bought the limited edition and fell absolutely in love with the game and every sequal (except Forza 5 & 6) after that.
To be honest, I just checked a few minutes ago... The online servers for a Multiplayer Race via Xbox Live are online. If you really wanted to, find a friend with the copy and play over Xbox Live. Really works...
But why you don’t like the 6 :(
Forza 2, 3 & 4 were perfect, everything else after that wasn't proper Forza.
Funny how many people think that way.
@RAVEN AK47 although it wasnt advertized to have cockpit
@RAVEN AK47 to think i grew up with gran turismo games that dont have cockpit views really contradicts that
@RAVEN AK47 i still wonder why nfs doesnt do that, even if they have the resources by ea to develop interiors fully detailed
if turn 10 did in 2 years with forza 4 and 700 cars and the help of microsoft, then the same can be done with ea and ea ghost
Great review. You are seeing why quite a few people didnt mind passing up on the GT games and instead playing the Forza games.
Take for example what you mentioned about all Sim racers: They get boring pretty quickly. The developers obviously understood this and made their focus on the online/multiplayer aspect. This is what hooked me in a way that the GT games never could. I personally modify my cars in real life.
Being able to buy and modify the exact car i have in real life to a very similar spec that my real life car had and then race them online against other modified cars!? That was like a dream! Or maybe doing that exact thing to what our dream cars were, for example R34 GTR or the MkIV supra.
The developers were able to make the boy racer AND the adult enthusiast partake in a socially fluent way that wasnt normally possible.
Yes what you all say is true,but when I play Forza Motorsport 6 and I do like it a lot and stuff, but for some reason I always fail myself to keep myself up and start falling asleep. (No GT bias because GT5 made me sleepy to) so maybe the Forza games make me sleepy aside from Horizon games? Idk maybe it's me and I'm a heavy JRPG guy to so grinding doesn't bother me either.
TheCraziestGamer I don’t play like I use to, but Forza is the only sim game I play now. I modify cars in real life and the only the I like about forza is that I can do that in game and race against other modified cars online.
This was also the first Forza game to introduce Unicorn Cars 🦄
"Point to point circuit" is a bit of an oxymoron.
You should play and (maybe review) the next games in this order: Forza Motorsport 3, Forza Motorsport 4, Forza Horizon 1, Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 2, Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Horizon 3, Forza Motorsport 7, and Forza Horizon 4. That way you play them in order of release.
If you find racing sims boring after 30 minutes... Then you don't like racing sims. The whole point of driving sims is to get better, every time you go around a track. And that is going to take a shit-ton more time than 30 minutes. But trust me, if you do like racing sims, every time you make that 0.5 second improvement, you FEEL it. It is very rewarding, and satisfying.
I agree with this comment 100 percent. I've always been one for improving my lap times on these type of games it's a great feeling when I can consistently do so during the course of a long endurance race. It makes me feel accomplished.
Ah, the memories. I had the 2-pack with Marvel Ultimate Alliance with my 360 back in ‘07, and it red ringed a few years later.
Absolutely loved this one, handling was amazing and apart from the really small amount of tracks this is just an improvement on the first one. Anything after this gets a bit more iffy in some regards, at least for me.
I'm replaying this classic in 2020. I've rebuilt my 360 collection thru Goodwill with over 50 games at $3 a pop. Got Forza 2, 3, and 4. Starting at 2 and working my way through. I never had a Xbone so I've never got to play the next gen forzas but I'm really thinking of switching back to Xbox for the series X. I think it's gonna be the winner this gen with Xbone having an abysmal go this gen. Microsoft will undoubtedly make up for it next gen. I played Forza 2 everyday for months back in 07-08. It's crazy that it's been 12-13 years since then and now I'm 34 years old. I wish we could go back to 2008 so bad.
Forza 4 is the last real Forza game
Yeah, after that it was all Horizon.
I actually really liked Horizon 2, motorsport 5 was not that fun, horizon 4, well, it's not super fun but can be fun?
But Horizon 2 was simply my favorite because to me the car list was nearly perfect (could use more volvo's) and the map, no matter where you went it was always fun to drive
Horizon 3 had a few more volvos which i liked but the map was horrible...horizon 1 was also fun but there weren't that many cars that we're very fast compared to horizon 2, personally the only motorsports I've had is 4 and 5 but I forgot to bring home motorsport 4 when I was on vacation a few years ago (and I had only played for like an hour so I don't remember anything)
Last time I was at GameStop they had a few used copies of limited edition motorsports but I decided to get rock band 4 instead as it was cheaper, I was hungry and finding a copy of rock band 4 that doesn't cost like 100$ for just the disc in Sweden is the same thing as trying find a lowmile stock Toyota Supra in perfect condition for less than 10000$
Nah Horizon 1. FH1 is one of the best open world racers I have ever played. The Horizon series following the first entry does not live up to it.
I actually prefer the licence tests to the actual game lol, I'm sure you would say burn me with fire. As something to do in a video game the tests are quality, its like playing a video game.
It really was an upward trend until Forza 4, every Motorsport game that has come after falls miles short of it. It shows in that they're still using FM4 car models TO THIS DAY
1:50 Gran Turismo developers, take notes.
License tests are not bad. They were however repetitive so in Sport they are optional, but also improved by a ton and some of them have you actual race to show what your driving skills can do for you after the tests.
This ^ is what should've happened since GT3.
Tell that to the crew 2 developers, It's not even a racing game.
Andy Ross The Crew 2 is actually fun and people need to stop acting like it isn’t.
@@communistpootisbirb Finally someone who appreciates the Crew 2 lol. I enjoyed it when I brought it and have no major issues with it so far. (Aside from crazy rubberband AI sometimes) but it's fun and I am a fan of TDU and FH so obviously not my first open world racing game either :p
Make sure Turn 10 take everything else from Polyphony then lmao
Biggest thing Forza has, that no other games have: Manual/w Clutch 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
7:35 You ment The Complete Collection, which includes all the DLC in a bonus disc. The Collector's Edition only has its respective DLC pack, and that was released before this edition I'm talking about.
This game is still amazing today. It has great sound, cars get dirty and the smoke and dust effects are best in the series.
Ah, man. You mention that 'one car' that tends to just pull ahead of the pack to a ludicrous extent. Get used to that. I've also played FM3, FM4, and FM6 and they ALL have that once you get to a certain difficulty... which is bad, because [1] why haven't they fixed that (I doubt they fixed it in Forza 7) after all this time [2] it completely throws off the difficulty balancing, meaning you either get cheated out of a deserved win, or you lower the difficulty and win with ease.
Inno Clarke 7 is just as bad especially if you race with the drivatars on unbeatable mode like I don I feel like there’s a lot of rubber banding too because it seems like no matter how long a race is if you can consistently keep your pace within a second or so of the leaders best lap you’ll almost always catch up in the last couple of laps
In Forza 7, they've basically made 'Unbeatable' a new, higher difficulty from before, where the cars get artificial boosts in power(rather than just improved AI), making some races really frustrating, especially on oval-based tracks. However, they've recently introduced new redefined track limits for every single track and it seems that it has slowed the AI a tad, to where I can win pretty much any race fairly easily since they back off on more corners than they did before.
Usually it's because the fastest AI has the best car, but I wouldn't be surprised if that AI has other bonuses too.
Nah, even when I've made sure I have the best car, that bastard just pulls in times that are way too quick compared to every other car in the field, despite being in the same class. I have not even the slightest doubt that the AI gets some 'bonuses'.
Interestingly, Microsoft's other, now-abandoned racing game series, PGR, had a similar problem with balance, though even worse. For one, if you were on easy difficulty, the game was pathetically easy. I've oftentimes people say that you could almost win even if you drove backwards. On hard, the game was brutally, obviously unfair. On normal, it went from a bit too easy to "Fuck you," depending on event. Races were on the easier side. All of the other challenges, minus hitting the cones, hated you.
But hey, in the words of Ross Scott of Accursed Farms:
"If you can't beat this campaign [The Crew 2], you're going to have trouble beating a lot of driving games. That is *not* a complaint. I will take 'too easy' *any day* over 'too hard', since there is *no* ceiling as to how hard a driving game can get. *NONE.*"
FH4 and FM7 still have that 'one car' that always pulls away from the pack, pretty frustrating imo.
I really love your videos, such a shame you don’t have more subs.
Good review. Your videos do a good job of capturing why these games are so liked in the first place.
Did you know that Robin Frijns (the 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 and 2018 Bathurst 12 Hour champion) actually said that this was the most realistic game in the series? Considering the precision required in this game, he certainly isn't wrong.
Does anyone else miss the ability to race against real life race car drivers as AI opponents in the newer Forzas? To me, there is just something seriously cool about racing a Corvette C6.R actually driven by Olivier Beretta or an Audi LMP actually being driven by Tom Kristensen. Since Turn 10 and the game's featured championships seem to have a good relationship, I'm surprised it no longer extends this far.
I would also love for the ability to buy licensed car parts like K&N air filters or Bosch spark plugs to return.
bro im not sure if I agree with the controller vs wheel thing. I play fine on controller with assists off on every popular sim aswell as the wheel, and I like both. The wheel is more realistic(and fun), but it doesn't allow for better control necessarily. I mean steering a car is a semi-binary action (left, right) so the controller isnt lacking as long as steering is analog. the best driving games make you forget youre on controller
Yep, you could drive just fine with all aids off on controller in Forza. That's how I've always done it(been playing since the first one) and am pretty good. And it's not like I dedicated my life to practicing, they are simply *really* good gamepad controls. Meanwhile, wheel support has never been great in Forza titles, at least up until the very recent update for Forza Motorsport 7, where they've completely outdone themselves and made it genuinely good(better than Gran Turismo, but not quite on the level of more dedicated sims). But even with this great new update in Forza 7, using a controller with all aids off is still entirely viable and many of the top of the top racers use gamepads.
Forza is probably best played with a controller. Most racing games on console are perfectly playable with a controller.
Yup there is nothing wrong with playing the game with a controller while having all of the driving aids off, You only have to actually try to play the game
The only problem with controllers in Forza games is that after a while, my controller got worn out so it’s hard to brake without abs. It’s not even because of the game either. I’m genuinely surprised about how good controller support is.
Forza 2 was amazing, and by far the best when using a wheel. Forza 7 feels pretty good now since all the updates, but for its time forza 2 was amazing on a wheel
So i tried to get the last game for cex (used gaming store) they didn't have annoyingly but because really enjoyed your last review I really wanted to play one of the games soo they had forza 2...and since I knew you were going to play I thought it be interesting to get to perspective on your reviews will that i had actually played. I found the way to sort break the racing early on with lotus Elise but besides that an awesome game hope to pick up Forza 3 now to see the difference. Cheers for the class reviews
Funny enough I actually bought my Forza 2 off of Cex too.
@@Sephinova its not bad we shop sometimes prices are ridiculous for newer game but pick Forza 2 £2.50 about month ago so can't complain.
An outstanding review of my favorite 7th gen racing game, I love the vibrant & refined graphic design, especially the last of the colorful "fun" menus before the Hospital sterile styling of the "Forza" games HUD & menu designs that came after it. I also prefer the 2nd game in the excellent series because it has my old boss's car in it, the gorgeous & improved "Guldstrand Corvette" where I worked in LA as a driver & car detailer in the early 90's.
I always loved the Forza series. Forza 3 got a lot more interesting when they added the clutching option in the assist settings.
No it sucked! Everyone just flat shifted as there was no clutch wear physics, there was no extra skill required or anything. Made the cars sound a bit stupid particularly in replays.
It worked on downshifting where it was sort of possible to rev match, helped keep the rear of cars settled when braking. I got quite fluid at that on a pad!
Dan Greenwalt’s: Tutorials for driving is like teaching a fish how to swim
Forza 7: Only a handful of people know how to drive properly online.
Great video👍. Forza Motorsport 2 was my all-time favourite, (even grabbed the Limited Collector's Edition & still have it & my 360 with wheel set). All Gold All Race Types & i did it the hard way, I spent hrs & hrs completing everything with gold trophies; "I was a pro lol", good times good memories..
While I'm not much of a sim racer fan, the Forza Motorsport games grew on be quite a bit.
And compared to _other_ racing sims released in 2007 (NFS: Prostreet, Race Pro), Forza Motorsport 2 is easily the best.
I wouldn't call Prostreet a racing sim to be honest
prostreet wasnt a sim at all
I'm not a big sim racer fan either, NFS: Shift was the exception for me.
Personally, I find it fits the boundary of arcade sim just enough to be an enjoyable experience. What I consider sim racing these days are the Project Cars series, Assetto Corsa and DiRT Rally (DiRT 4 is more of an arcade sim, but more sim like than the first 3 installments).
none of which are racing sims. they're all arcade racing games, also if it has NFS its definitely not a sim racing game
Forza 2 is my second favourite game from childhood. First is Project Gotham Racing 4, the first game I "maxed" in my life. IMO Forza Motorsport 4 is the best game in the franchise, but the FM2 is the one that holds special place in my heart. I still dream about being able to drive Eclipse GSX on Tsukuba in Assetto Corsa...
Sadly Turn10 killed series after Forza 4.
i remember how awesome it was when i played this game for the first time at my uncle's house. turns out i'm an og in the forza community now.
Just hearing the music takes me way back when.
11:29 I disagree, I race with all assists off and ai on hard. I find it quite manageable on controller. I have a cheap wheel set up, but I don’t like it. The wheel is too small, there is no clutch pedal, and the shifter is just up/down. I wish I had a better setup, but they are really expensive.
I have no limit of nostalgia for this game. The amount of stuff that this game got right in my eyes is insane.
For people coming here to try out a Gran Turismo 4 career-like alternative, this is it here. The grind, customization, progression, its all here. F3, and F4 (still king) are a tad better, but they all ditched the original progression and went with a calendar/world tour type progression. Also, getting cars in F3/4 was fast and convenient but way too easy. Apples and oranges, I guess.
I understand the servers are probably down at this point, but would you consider reviewing Blur? It was one of my favorite 360 game/racer
This is the only game in the series I have played, and I thought it was great. The only thing I didn't care for were the track designs, which weren't that great IMO. But I really enjoyed the way the cars handled, loved the CarPG mechanics, and the customization was fantastic. It was also the first time I got to use custom soundtracks in a racing game, which was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time with the game, since my 360 died in less than a year, and I didn't want to keep dealing with dead consoles so I ditched the 360 brand. Did get a nice slim model last year though, and need to pick up this game again.
This game effectively killed any interest I had left in the Need For Speed Series (underground 2 was the plateau anyway imo) and jump started a fascination with the mechanical bits themselves.
If you've never played test drive unlimited 2 you should !!!!!
Alex Carolan I have it on steam but I can't run the game

@@lasagneman5586 That sucks !
@@alexcarolan8825 no, TDU2 sucks especially when you can play FH1-4 instead! I LOVED TDU1 in 2006 but the physics became terrible in the second game (or maybe I just had different standards then).
@@nattila7713 the physics in the first and second sucked for sure. But buying houses and having 2 giant open maps was cool. Being able to roll down your window or put the roof down was cool. And bikes were cool too. I had it at the same time as Forza horizon and I would play them back to back .
Wolff I don't know if I can do that. I have it on my steam account, but I also have train som there which is worth more than $20
Who else agrees this is the better Forza game. Not counting the Horizon spin-offs.
It's the Forza with the slowest sense of speed.
GT and the new Forza needs to add more of these og fictional tracks. Look at grid, practically every fictional track is great and the point to point ones are so fun
gawd I miss Forza 2! Had over 800h in this game, felt like I literally spent my later teens playing this game online. Entering endurancce Nürburgring lobbies 20 laps, perfecting my cars, tuning monster 600hp to be driveable.... Good times!
Also, you forgot to mention one of the most memorable soundtrack to any racer (Ridge Racer excluded)
Best in the series by a longshot. Playing FM2 got me into LCD Soundsystem and Bloc Party. Need for Speed Underground 2's "underground" rock, punk, and hip hop soundtrack and Burnout 3's pop punk soundtrack are also phenomenal
This game was the shit, I got so much money the counter stopped going up and I had every single car
Your reviews are the best. You are the best youtuber and im not just saying that. Your reviews are so thought out and they are so enjoyable to watch
Enjoyed the video, but this game is very far from a sim, if it has the title Forza or Gran Turismo then you can assume that it's a simcade
I miss the classic auction house I used to bid on cars in high school in my computer class get them really cheap cuz because a lot of people we're not home during the day
The only title of Forza im still playing. The mechanics are great. btw, the best music tracks of this franchise is in this game.
wow finally a review ahead of its time. you know when forza 2 comes finally out ? ... but on a serious note, videos like this are somehow gold. Show dem what gaming was! :D
forza 2 was the best one for me. had so much fun online and with custom lobbies where you could make your own rules it was the best online as well. the rest was downhill from there
Here is my ranking for Forzas that I played.
5. Forza 5
4. Forza 2
3. Forza 3
2. Forza 6
1. Forza 4
Great review, as always! Just wanna point out one thing: Tsukuba is pronounced "tsoo-koo-bah" @4:45 ;)
Man, this was the game that got me into sim racers. I still regularly play it on my old 360.
Great things never get old.
I'm with you man, I can't stand it when racing games always have that one asshole who has to give you trouble. I'm playing Shift 2 at the moment and I'm dealing with the same issue.
Wow for being 11 years old this game is extremely impressive from almost every aspect.
I really loved the mechanic where you could hire a driver to take your place for a race if you just wanted to get over with the series you were racing. They should really bring that back
What's Forza 2 got that the other games don't? Three words: More convincing damage.
To download photos, it is not in this part of the website. The easiest way is on the Forza Hub app for Windows 10 or on the Gallery button inside the Community tab in the official website. These links are landing pages to people buy the game and such. I dont know if you can upload Photos anymore, but the Forza Levels do count since 2. Forza Levels are a feature that gives money every friday on the game based on how Forza games you played (gamerscore, distance driven and many more stats), for example, I played Forza Horizon 2,3 and 4 and Motorsport 5 and 7 (i played before but i didnt had an xbox at the time) on my account and gain 250.000 cr every week. Only the first Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox 360 (the Xbox One version count as normal) dont work in this loyalty program of sorts.
Just a reminder in advance: It could be interesting to review Horizon 2 but you have to remember that the Xbox 360 and One versions are very different and a lot of features are missing on 360.
Forza really took a dive after the 4th installment. 3 was my personal favourite though.
Cant wait for the forza 4 review
Im so glad i got limit edition phew atleast ill have the dlc
I also think this game had the some of the best cars of the series and the most body kit customizations which I miss having on the Mustang Cobra R and Saleen s281
This game and shift was the first racing games and games in general that I played when I was 4 or 5 yrs old
Loved the veil side Supra. Wow boost gauges that needs to come back. Oh and a decent UI and menus.
I still have the wireless MS wheel and pedals. Mint condition!
Incredible i still remember this thing on 360 Was mindblowing
My fave Forza Motorsport game is 4. I still have both 2 and 4 but my Xbox refuses to play 4 even if it's on pristine condition :(
And #4 has the Fiero.
Forza 2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance were the first Xbox 360 games I've ever owned and I never forget the enjoyment out of those games.
Here's a fact that you forgot to point out, the game also has The Complete Collection, which includes all of the downloadable content from the game and it even brings back Road America.
Sadly, I hate to remind you but it's only available in North America.
They should have made a complete collection for Forza Motorsport 4.
TheCraziestGamer I know right? The same can also be said for the original Forza Horizon.
Especially with the future Forza games. But too bad, I mean there was no reason for the developers and the publishers to no longer physically release the complete edition for every Forza game.
@@NS55gaming Same with Forza horizon 2 and hopefully 3 as well. It's a shame because Dirt 3 has a complete edition and GT5 has a complete edition to (for the most part) and so does Project Cars 1.
You should do an NFS Shift review
Ah, the first Forza game I've ever played.
Been on a bit of a hiatus until recently since I don't own an Xbox One. Played FM2, FM4, a bit of FH1 and FM6, FH3 and FH4.
The release of Forza on Windows 10 has actually reignited my interest as someone who doesn't feel the need to own an Xbox One just for Forza alone.
Im digging the liveries!
Whos playing In 2020?
I love these racing retrospectives, please make more especially on some lesser known 6th generation racers
This is my favorite racing game. I love the higher dose of rpg this one gives. I really don't mind grinding for rewards, and FM3 seemed far more boring of a grind than FM2 did. FM4 got even more boring. This was the peak of Forza in my mind.
The car sounds were also a lot better in Forza 2 compared to the first one.
The hours I spent on this tuning cars, getting them painted and sold in the AH, good times.
I love your style. you don't only review the game, but also make your reviews interesting and fun, that's something to be noted. It reminds me a lot of the James Rolfe reviews, but not that satire, yours are more real, more serious, and that's great.
On the other side, I think you should Really start to look at more Xbox titles, there are a lot cool ones. Also, I'd like for you to review some star wars games, if you like that...
Cheers mate, Greatings from Mexico and a Happy New year to you and your darest ones...!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself
Excellent review, really enjoyed seeing FM2 again, the game which sold me the x360 :) (played a bit of FM1 on the xbox before but not much)
I am looking forward to your FM3-4+ reviews. My only concern is we all had 2 years before a new forza game while you only have couple of weeks between them. I am sure you will find them boooooring after a while... (my personal favourite is FM4, so many fantasy tracks, great point to point races, best gfx, lots of cars, ... ). I still play FM games, 7 currently but I just don't really enjoy it. Almost only boring race tracks, the same ones I play in PC sims again and again.
I wish we get a bw compatible, X enhanced FM4 with proper wheel support....
On the Laguna Seca endurance C class, there is a removed Mazda RX-8 (from Forza Motorsport 1) and there is another race that has a different version of the Toyota GT ONE Race Car (from Forza Motorsport 1). Also, some of those events have screenshots from FM1
Forza motorsport 2 is what ignited my passion for cars, I never played racing games or payed any attention to cars in general but I got a copy of FM2 with my Xbox 360 when it first came out and that was it, I was absolutely hooked. I made some friends through online drifting lobbies, learned about proper tuning and car culture and even met my online friends at multiple drift events throughout the UK. Genuinely, I owe a lot to this game and Forza as a franchise in general.
Still my favorite Forza game... menus were quick and seemless... Didn't care for the new design from 3 on which slowed everything down intentionally or otherwise.
Still have my 95% completion on my original xbox.
Also like the new games there were car packs you could purchase, or get VIP which gave you everything. This quickly changed in 3 moving forward.
Man I really had a strong nostalgia overflow because I chose European region and bought a dark red VW Corrado too. We had the exact the same Corrado in real life but had to sell it for reasons. Still a great car.
The driving experience may have been better in GT but the sheer amount of customization in forza 2 was astounding. You could make your eg6 civic rear wheel drive and a s13 awd it was amazing. They also had actual bodykits and not just the most basic front/rear splitter and 2 ugly wings for all cars like in gt5
Forza Motorsport 2: The only racing game to have ever mastered the sound of the Skyline GT-R's engine (specifically the Tommy Kaira r34 and the V Spec II Nur sound)
Forza 2 wasn't the best Forza game but I can say it's my favourite along with 3 because of the charm, the positives and negatives did not matter because I enjoy them the most out of every Forza motorsport. Two and three can be picked up and played without complaining and that's another reason why I love them.
However, unpopular opinion: Forza 4 wasn't as good as 2 and 3. 4 in my opinion was 3 but with more content while removing the charm and most unique cars and tracks.
If you have the Complete Collection (US only) of Forza Motorsport 2, you have a bonus disc that gives you access to every single DLC and if you check off all DLCs, they are immediately installed into the vanilla game.
4:59 wait rio was here before Forza 6???
Yes, but it was a completely different circuit
@@darkpit1303 in higher or lower elevation than FM6? Because FM6 was in the high suburban mountains where you could see the T-POSE statue
@@falcongamer58 It was in lower elevation and almost flat. The track was designed like it would be a real track.
@@darkpit1303 like Yas Marina? The flattest track ever?
@@falcongamer58 It was similar to Yas Marina (just as a street circuit ofc). There was just one corner where the track went uphill and it went downhill immediately after that.
