Forza Motorsport was quickly gaining on Gran Turismo with this release. Cars were looking better, content was growing, fantasy tracks were fun to race on. There was a lot going right with this release.
Everyone craps on this game but honestly there was a lot of heart put into it and it was actually fun to play. Nobody seriously got a kick out of being a Rancor smashing it's way through town or the Han Solo song in the dance game? You lie to yourselves.
