Forza 2: Weakened

I started Forza 2 a month ago for reasons I've forgotten by now. The first race, I had one of the hardest times I've had with a racer, because it was my first full simulation racing game. After learning that it's not your typical Need For Speed take-a-corner-at-200-mph racer I began to have more of an appreciation for the game.

I started playing the game again about a week ago. The majority of the races in the beginning I played on the easiest setting, with all assists on. It's the only way I could actually get a win, because it takes some time to learn how to drive in Forza. I then found the Hire Driver feature, and I had at it. I've been playing the game with a hired driver at Skill level 1, and 55% earnings from each race.

I know it defeats the purpose of enjoying the game, but to be honest, this game is way too long for someone just entering the simulation racer genre, and that's me. I actually really enjoy the game, and am some-what looking forward to Forza 3, but for the rest of Forza 2, and that won't be long, I'm going to be hiring a driver until I reach level 50 and finish the game.

I did have some fun with the car achievements when I reached level 40; a little experiment to try and unlock them all in the same minute (except Korea), and it worked somewhat. It actually spread between two minutes but it was done in under one. I bought every car except one in reach region and saved those last cars in the Auction House. When I had the remaining 8, I selected Receive Car for each one and like magic all the car achievements popped one after another.

I'm currently in the process of winning the next two Career tournaments, because I just hit level 45. After I finished those, I'll go for 50 and finish the other two to complete the career. Then, it's just the Arcade Mode achievements and the Online boosting.

This game is severely starting to wear me out, and I need to finish it quick before I start to hate all games period, again.

I borrowed it off a mate recently about a month ago, so similar to you. I have to say your progress has been better than mine, I've gotten to Level 30 now and given it back to him.

Try and keep at it, it's an impressive 1000G.

Don't forget that you started Need for Speed Shift - so more good times racing ahead, ha ha! Much easier than Forza though so never fear.
