Technically completed, I did 100% the arcade mode, which isn't too much of a task. The main issue comes with the career mode not having a real final tournament or anything. So I got about 40% through career mode and gave up since the progression really starts to wear itself thin once you get endurance races unlocked. Insanely long career mode, too.
Not so great career progression aside, it works. Would've been a really good time for XBox users in 05 for sure, but with all the future titles there's not too much reason to play through this one other than curiosity or nostalgia. Good handling, good selection of cars for it being the only OG XBox Forza, difficulty felt kinda sporadic but oh well.
It's pretty good, I'd probably recommend playing through arcade mode so you have more freedom. Won't have any cars you unlock through career if you do it first, but you can pick whatever's already unlocked.
