Forza 2 is looking promising, despite being a console only game, if the
latest trailer is any indication.
With the release of the new MS wheel at the same time on the 360 it might be
the closest yet to sim racing on the console. I guess only time will tell
for sure.

Thanks for the look. You are correct, time will tell. I got tired
of fussing with PC sims a few years back and have been playing
Forza, GT3-GT4, etc on the consoles. I'm pretty happy with them.
But having just gone back to Forza after about a year away, I think
it still has a ways to go. Hopefully #2 will raise it to the next
level.

the trailer is just a fancy pre-rendered CGI video, nothing more. the
actual game won't be THAT nice. at least Forza 2 will be 60FPS, twice
the framerate of the original Forza on the old Xbox.

realtime screens of Forza 2 have been released.
