That makes sense. I started playing on Amateur and I believe that's when that incident happened.
Forza 2 is a good game and if you like playing videogames you should buy a 360 anyway
Lots of great titles are on their way.
My major gripe with Forza 2 was it wasn't as great as Forza 1. Forza 2 isn't finished and it's obvious. And even though the developers of the game promised lots of DLC in the future - after releasing one free Nissan car pack and 1 official car pack featuring mostly variations of cars that are already in the game - they're now complaining on the message boards about how long it takes to complete further content and it looks like they're going to pack it up and look towards the future. So basically I was left with a 3/4 finished game that I was really excited for that didn't even really look that good (even compared to Forza 1) And that really disappointed me since there really aren't any other racing games for 360 that feature real-world tracks and a large library of cars.
I think really the recipe that ruined FM2 for me is the fact that I had followed the game's development for like 9 months before the game came out and I got sucked into all the hype. And going by the pre-launch hype - Turn 10 seriously, seriously under-delivered.
My 2 cents. Don't let it stop you from enjoying the game though!
