Forza 2 or Forza 1 backward compatible? Which version? Better in what way? Please add some meat to your comment. The graphics in Forza 2 are most certainly stronger by a significant margin over GT4 -- especially the butter-smooth 60 fps. The physics and AI in Forza 2 are the best I've ever experienced in a racing game. The reviews pretty much all say the same -- i.e. the physics engine has set the bar to a new height for all racers that follow. So far I agree with those but I'm waiting to see what GT5 brings to the table. The cars in Forza 2 all behave differently based on front/real/all wheel drive, amount of horsepower, weight, tire temperature, etc. I realize you can't "total" a car but the damage modeling is pretty neat -- especially if you lock bumpers going down the track and lose a bumper cover or something like that.
I thought I was an arcade racer fan, but after playing forza 2, things like PGR and Burnout just don't do it for me. I've found I really like the simulation aspects more than anything and that is certainly where the game excels.
I've played a whole lotta racers on my PS2 and the GT series is pretty good, but fanboyism aside, from a racing simulation standpoint, Forza 2 is a better product by a significant margin.
