- Story/Description:
| Quote: | Whether it’s new interpretations of muscle cars from yesteryear like the 2007 Shelby GT 500, old classics like the 1969 Camaro SS Coupe or today’s hottest sports cars like the 2006 Chevy Corvette Z06, we’re sure one of your favorite American sports cars is on our list.
Speaking of cars, we also wanted to elaborate on a very exciting new feature that will be included in “Forza Motorsport 2” – the Livery Editor. The Livery Editor adds a whole new level of customization to the game, giving the Forza community the freedom to truly “build their dream vehicle” using any of the 300+ cars in the game. With the new and improved Livery Editor, gamers can put their own personal touch on every vehicle in their garage using unique paint schemes, personalized decals and logos, as well as their own art creations. And thanks to the Xbox LIVE Auction House, you can lock down the design on your masterpiece, put it up for virtual sale and share it with the world -- or at least the highest bidder. Who knows, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see that your next great creation helped some lucky member of the global Forza community make it to the top of the leaderboard! For more details on the Livery Editor or the Auction House, cruise over to Forzamotorsport.net and check out this week’s Pitpass Report.

well i cannot wait for this (my game of the year) and after getting into the top 500 in league 1 on PGR3 online career i am going to love owning u all 
As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.
Not My Words But The Words Of IGN, But There True

bahhh. why bother with this ? everyone should rob a bank and then wait 6 years and play GT5 instead.
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

woa...wait I thought May 29th...it's May 15th now?!? Oh god I'm frothing at the mouth here! Demo tonite?! gwwwaaaaaaargh!!!

I've been a Gran Turismo whore since forever, and I remember my xbox fanatic friend started bragging about Forza. I kept laughing at him cause I had GT4, and at the time I was big on hating MS's "new" console.
Well, here I am, with a 360 and I love it to pieces (because it'll probably fall apart like everyone elses) and I NEEED a good racing sim. Forza 2 looks so good, I just hope it can compete with GT4 in terms of overall racing appeal.

There are always new games/demos coming out around when a new firmware is out. That is purely coincidental.

Forza 2 is a pretty eagerly awaited title though and I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt a coincidence. If people with modded consoles can be banned then I dont think Microsoft would think twice about enticing them with a playable demo to prevent piracy. Im just glad its not Bioshock since I really wouldnt be able to resist going on XBL to get that! lol.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

If they did something to prevent piracy, that would be in the firmware, not the game demo. Getting as many people on live as possible won't necessarily detect their firmware.

Oh I know it wouldnt be something in the demo but maybe the demo would require an update of sorts and they would lure people in by using a triple A title.

5.2 works just fine with the update. Some guy pointed out something interesting on Xbox-scene. If Microsoft chose a banning point it's going to be the Halo3 beta which comes with Crackdown.

All times are GMT + 1 Hour |
Demo is coming this month, probably last week or something 
I meant, that I had read elsewhere that Forza 2 was due for release at the end of May. Then I read here it's confirmed for release for May 15th. I'm excited that I don't have to wait an extra two weeks to get the game
