The following information describes the features of Forza Motorsport 2:
 * Lap the competition: With true next-generation features that are made possible by the power of Xbox 360, Forza Motorsport 2 burns rubber at 60 frames per second (fps), with 2x full-screen antialiasing, and high-dynamic-range lighting in crisp 720p high-definition glory.

 * Experience uncompromising physics: Top automotive engineers, professional race car drivers, and experienced programmers teamed up to create the most complete racing simulator experience that is now available. Cars incur significant damage and wear, and this affects car performance. Advanced tire and suspension models respond to heat and pressure changes in addition to weight transfer and aerodynamic load.

Experience an amazing sense of speed and realism. Forza Motorsport 2 features more than 45 tracks that are carved out of 12 environments. These include several real-world licensed circuits, such as Silverstone, Tsukuba, and Laguna Seca. New real-world licensed circuits additionally expand the world of Forza Motorsport 2.

Makes include Ferrari, Porsche, Nissan, VW, GM, and Lamborghini. Take your car to the garage and install alternative engines, suspension kits, bolt-on superchargers, brakes, rims, racing slicks, and more. Dial in advanced suspension settings, tire pressure, and gear ratios. Forza Motorsport 2 lets you own the cars that will own the competition.
