Time to continue my playthrough of all the Forza games! After completing the arcade mode of Forza Motorsport 1 I will now move on to FM2, where I will also begin with the arcade mode. In FM2 the arcade mode consists of 15 exhibition races and 25 time trial challenges. Here you can see me doing the next 5 exhibition races, using interesting cars from some of the faster road car classes.

In FM1 the arcade mode had 31 races but in FM2 it is split into 15 races and 25 time trial challenges. In each race you can unlock 3 cars for bronze, silver and gold and in each time trial you can unlock one car by beating the target time.

For the races 6-10 I picked some faster road cars. The Shelby Series 1 is one that I already showed in FM1 but back then I only used it on an oval. Now you can also see it in action on a regular track.

One thing that stands out in the car lineup of the arcade mode here is the large number of custom tuned JDM cars, not only from somewhat known tuners like Tommy Kaira or Mine's but even from some more obscure ones like "AB Flug", which is a really weird name for people who understand German, since "Abflug" is basically when you fly off the track. But I already know from Nakai-san in NFS 20 and from the Japanese soccer league that Japanese have a weird fetish for using foreign words in ways that make no sense in their original language... :P

Unfortunately the AI in FM2 is very slow, at least in these exhibition races, so you won't see any close battles in this playthrough. I will still upload it anyway though, so that people who are curious about this game will be able to watch it.

I will be showing my full playthrough of the FM2 arcade mode, which should once again take me 6 videos. In part 3 you will see the last 5 exhibition races, using awesome race cars from the countries of the tracks.
