Forza Motorsport 2 (360)

A few more time trial levels and then back to career, where I won a few races despite driving like a complete idiot. And then I fell asleep in front of the car selection screen, so decided it was probably time to stop playing.

Tried a couple of time trials. In both of them I was sixth on my Friends Leaderboard. Not too shabby, but a long way off the top times.

Once again, Trousers seems to be dominating the top spots. And he claims not to be good at games. Tch.

So, I sold the anime Mini I’d bought at auction for more than I’d paid for it and used the cash to turn my 2006 Charger into an S-ranked super car. With that power it was almost undriveable, but not quite, and I finally managed to win the last Proving Ground races that had been a sticking point. Hooray!

Then I jumped back into my Lotus Elise and did the first couple of Amateur races, which I won with ease.

Spent two hours making a car (1, 2), then did one race in it (1), then turned the 360 off.

I’ve spent the day so far trying and failing to win the final Proving Ground event, three races in heavy cars. The problem is, there’s one car that’s far, far better than the competition and though I can easily beat the other cars, I can never catch the one in first. It’s very annoying indeed. I’ve upgraded and upgraded my 2006 Dodge Charger, but still can’t keep up.

Grr.

I got up to driving level ten and got the best reward ever.

Seriously, that’s half the reason I bought the game, being able to get that car and put that paint job on it.

I’m quite pleased with this design.

Won some races in that Intergrale car I won. Well, it’s called something like that. It drives nicely and lets me win races, which is a good thing, but it doesn’t have the personality of the American cars. it’s like an agile wee squirrel next to great galumping bears.

I also bought a car from the Auction House, which has some sort of anime design on it. Anyone know who this is?

Oh, and if you’re reading this within an hour or so of me posting it, please bid on my Jason-themed Solstice, which was my first car and which I’ll never drive again.

And while we’re showing off pictures, go on, take a look at the Hello Kitty car my wife designed.

In short, I like this.

I like the car collecting, the customisation and, to a lesser extent so far, the actual racing.

I decided to make my home region North America, because I do love American muscle cars. I know that they may not be the best at going round corners and other such trivialities, but they’ve got more soul than an Impreza or an Audi TT. Or, perhaps more accurately, the speak to my soul more.

Anyway, I got some rubbish little Pontiac convertible thing, painted it up with a crude image of Jason Voorhees and entered the first set of races. Took me a while, but I won the first event and, in doing so, won two more cars. One of them is a Mustang, which my wife is currently transforming into a lovely pink Hello Kitty car.

Sweet.

I think I’m going to have admit that I like this, as I can’t seem to stop playing it. Today’s car was the Gallardo, which I managed to drive reasonably well for the most part. I wish tiny mistakes weren’t punished so severely, but there’s no way round that as it’s, you know, car racing.
