I played the demo and was stunned with the realistic portrayal of wear and tear. If you burn out your tires, your rotors glow red. If you hit someone, your car alignment goes and you are to drive the car like in reality. Granted, high speed crashes kill, but this game is as realistic and fun as you can get.
Been playing the demo. I'm a big Gran Turismo fan. Forza 2 is truly awesome, and looks like it will easily best any console sim to date. I've seen 3 types of gamers comment on the demo: 1) some don't like it because they can't figure out how to play it correctly. 2) some are actively learning how to play it better because its new to them. 3) those who have experience with sim racing games love it.
I must say its AI and even just the very small amount of features in the demo are excellent. I'm having more fun with this game than any other next gen game I have played. The graphics are actually very good, though not its strongest aspect. The details are great.
