Forza Motorsport gained fame not just for being a great racer but for having one of the most insanely detailed customisation systems in the history of gaming. Sure, you could race your red Skyline across the line and destroy the opposition with a fully tuned Nismo engine.
However, your victory could never overshadow the paintwork on the Honda Civic that you had to overtake on the way with its perfect rendition of the Mona Lisa that your opponent had spent hours getting just right. Aggressive driving paid off as those dying for the replay with their works of art circling the track would avoid any nicks in the paintwork.
The sequel then, does all the above in High Definition. Not just that, you have even more customisation available to you now, not that it will help. The other major upgrade is the damage modelling – if you’re not careful, your lovingly-crafted machine will be scrap before you know it. Of course, that just makes grinding opponents against the barrier even more fun over Xbox Live…
