📝 Collector’s Notes

• This Platinum Collection version is functionally identical to the original Japanese release (YJ0-00001), but features different cover art and a “Platinum” banner on the case.

• Ideal for collectors of region-specific editions or Forza franchise fans.

• Since Forza 2 is an early-generation Xbox 360 game, it lacks some features (like dynamic weather or full cockpit view) found in later entries but remains one of the most realistic racing sims of its era.
