Best race sim ever
This is the best race sim I've ever played. It is really addictive and fun for a long time due to the career mode and online gaming. The graphics could be a little better and include "in car" view. Very good game, mainly if you consider a $19.99 deal.

All the regular greatness of Forza 2, plus new cars
The platinum edition of Forza 2 offers the standard game along with a new disc that contains all the updates that were available online (including 43 new cars and two new race tracks). For those who already own the game, 20 dollars for the updates may or may not be worth it. However, I found it to be a good deal because I don't play online but wanted to take advantage of the new cars. Someone who is buying the game for the first time is getting a great deal!
