Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360 already out in Japan gets delivery dates in US and “rest of the world”

Coming today (May 29th) into US stores, the sequel to the popular racing simulation Forza Motorsport promises to more for console racing fans.

Timed to coincide with the biggest day on the US racing calendar the Indianapolis 500 the arrival of the game is sure to get enthusiasts blood a-pumping. 

Forza 2 has been developed with the (now lower priced) Xbox 360 force feedback racing wheel in mind.

Apart from force feedback, the game will feature 12 globe-trotting tracks, and more than 300 cars to tune and tinker.  Manufactures include Ferrari, Porsche, Nissan, Volkswagen, General Motors and Lamborghini

Unlike most racing simulation games (I’m looking at you Gran Turismo) featuring real-world licensed cars, Forza 2 will include realistic damage along with wear-and-tear simulation.

Artistically minded drivers will be able to customise a four wheel masterpiece to boast about and exchange online.
 
Speaking of online, drivers can take their creations onto the internet in a number of  modes including the arm-chair variety of simply sitting back and watching some of the best racers in the world compete on “Forza Motorsport 2” TV.

For those of not in Japan or the US, we will need to wait until June 8 to get our hands on what can now officially be called a Racing Franchise.
