    Before I say anything negative there are a couple of positive things about Horizon 2 for the xbox360. The game does have a larger roster of vehicles than Horizon 1, though most of them are vehicles from previous Forza games. Also the map does seem to be a bit larger than Horizon 1 but not by a lot.

    However, the game is certainly not even close to the xbox1 version. The first thing I noticed is there is no random matchmade free-roam in the xbox360 version. I don't know how this is not possible as Horizon 1 had it, and to me was the only multiplayer option that was any fun. So unless you have friends who have the game, no multiplayer free-roam for xbox360. The game has literally no difference in graphic fidelity from Horizon 1. In some parts of the map the lack of detail is horrible and looks very lazily executed and perhaps even less polished than Horizon 1. The AI vehicles seem to be either programmed incorrectly or not at all and seem to glitch often, as I have encountered traffic cars that are upside-down, driving at night with no lights on, driving in the middle of the road, or randomly teleporting in front of me. At times the roads seem to be void of activity at all. The off-road portion of the game seems to be heavily scaled down for the xbox360 version as well. Many areas of the map have been walled off for the 360 version, and again the detail in the landscape is nearly absent completely.
    I do not know what the differences in campaign between the two versions are as I don't play these games for the campaign..but I'm sure there are many things missing there as well.
    It really is a shame that SUMO DIGITAL didn't deliver or at least come close to the version released on the xbox1 (within the limits of the 360), had I known of the lack of quality that this version presents I would not have purchased and regret doing so.
    So in conclusion, if you have an xbox1 and like Forza then I would say this game is worth it. If you have a xbox360 I would recommend buying Horizon 1 rather than 2 as you will be far less disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On its own, it's actually a pretty good game. Very nice selection of cars, good music, nice setting in France and Italy, graphics and physics are as good as you'd expect of a late 360 game.

    But compare it to the Xbox One version and it looks like half a game - cut content everywhere. The docks and golf course amongst other areas are blocked off by walls, the environment looks empty and lacks the detail of the Xbox One, lighting and graphical details are understandably weaker, sound is poor as the vehicles and music seem muted to me even on the loudest setting, no weather (this is annoying because much older games have managed weather and day/night cycles with no problem), half as many radio stations (3 to 6), and the credit rewards for leveling up and winning the championship race are way lower (360: 2500cr for leveling up and 25,000 for winning the game, One: up to 100,000cr or a random prize car for leveling up and 1,000,000 for winning the game). Upgrading cars at the garage is different, and you cannot even tune cars on the 360. They also announced there will be no DLC for this version.

    Compare it to its predecessor and it falls short again. The original game despite coming out in late 2012 is just as good in terms of graphics and physics. But the single player mode had better progression, some really fun races (this has half as many showcase events and rewards lower value cars, and there are no rival racers like in the last game who you can race to win their cars that I have encountered so far), and much much better reward cars and credit prizes for winning (I won over 10,000,000cr for winning the championship in Horizon 1 which is way more than you can get in this game).

    Overall, this is not a bad game. I'd give it about 7/10. But compare it to the Xbox One or old game and it is really disappointing. If you have the One or don't mind buying it, get the One version which is excellent. If you have a 360, I advise you to get the original which is half the price and just as good and then you could get some DLC packs with the money saved.    … Expand

    No llega a las cotas de calidad de Xbox One pero juzgando que salio en una consola con muchos años a sus espaldas y al final de su ciclo de vida es muy gratificante que siguieran saliendo juegos con esta calidad, dejando de lado la version de Xbox 360 es un buen juego y creo que gran parte de las criticas se debio a que la versión de Xbox One fue excelente

    DO NOT BUY THIS ON THE XBOX 360

    There... you've seriously been warned. I've been following this game for a while now and I do not want an Xbox One so I'd be getting the 360 version. What they've been telling all us fans is "the 360 version will practically be identical to the Xbox One" oh and remember this "We plan to release DLC for both versions, Xbox One and Xbox 360 after...." yeah    DO NOT BUY THIS ON THE XBOX 360

So I got the game what do I get? Bent over... I got bent over.

    NO TUNING
    No DLC so the 360 is stuck with the extremely small amount of cars.
    Multiplayer can only have 8 players.
    Cannot change the weather.
    Less campaign and less side events.
    Horrible graphics, early Xbox 360 graphics. No foliage.
    No storefront for custom built upgrades.
    Obviously no Drivatars.
    No car meets.
    Multiplayer has no traffic.

    WOW that's a long list. My biggest gripe is no tuning... Forza without tuning do you know how badly that kills this game? No uploading tune setups to your store, no customizing a car to your liking. Forza 4 did that on the 360... why can't Horizon 2 have it? This isn't because "the 360 can't handle all that" this is pandering to Microsoft. They wanted to make a crappy version on the 360 so you'll be coaxed into buying the new Xbox One. They lied about this game and I strongly urge you, do not buy it. Do not support it, no not defend it. Don't even pay attention to it. If you have an Xbox One, sure get it. You got the good version of the game but I'm talking to all the 360 owners.

    Oh Turn10 here's some statistics for you. There are 30 million people on Xbox 360 right now, there are only 5 million on Xbox One. You completely screwed over your fans on this one. I'm getting a full refund and I'm not even going to bother getting it if or when I do get an Xbox One... although I really don't want to. I might even be done with this series, if they could do this to fans why bother supporting them.    … Expand

    So after 1 day of owning the 360 version of Forza Horizon 2 and about 6 hours of gameplay, I have so far ascertained that this game, for the most part, contains the pleasures we all enjoyed in the first iteration that was Horizon 1, yet doesn't really quite offer more besides an updated car roster and a newer, expanded territory.

    Truth be told, I wasn't expecting much more than what was    So after 1 day of owning the 360 version of Forza Horizon 2 and about 6 hours of gameplay, I have so far ascertained that this game, for the most part, contains the pleasures we all enjoyed in the first iteration that was Horizon 1, yet doesn't really quite offer more besides an updated car roster and a newer, expanded territory.

    Truth be told, I wasn't expecting much more than what was aforementioned in the first sentence, since Horizon 2 (which I'll refer to as H2 from here on out) is still using the Horizon (H1) game engine, not to mention, is obviously running on last gen hardware. So the content cuts and stagnant graphics are to be expected. What had me worried was a different design studio was tasked with programming this title (Sumo Digital) and not Playground (left to focus solely on the H2 XBone title). This move could potentially muddle the physics and gameplay that I found critical in the first title, that made Horizon so fun.

    For the most part, it's all still there. Some gripes I do have may seem trivial, yet don't detract from the game play too much. Mainly it's Sumo's exclusion of a clutch pedal when using a wheel. I currently use the Fanatec CSR wheel with CSR Elite pedals mounted to a Playseat Evolution seat/frame and in the controls menu when configuring the setup, there simply is no clutch pedal pictured and available, unlike H1. The game is still 100% playable, yet it detracts from some "realism" and more importantly, driver control (so hooning is a bit more challenging).

    Also the paddle shifters which stand in as the "LB" and "RB" buttons in menus only function as LB & RB buttons on certain screens, limiting access in the pause menu. This could simply be a bug in the Fanatec firmware i'm using however.

    Now, after reading CarrierOfTime's review, I personally find his expectations too high for H2 on the 360 platform. Hardware and memory constraints dictate what we as 360 users end up getting. It's an exercise of give and take. A dialed back damage model, less "radio stations", emptier fields, etc. etc. are likely because of the 360's limitations. What we get in exchange are more cars, a larger map, more driving space and most importantly, a new Horizon experience when compared with H1. Gameplay tweeks with the unlockable "perks" shake things up and give xp points from stylistic driving more relevance, by allowing players to tweek how they progress with certain perks.

    I gave this game a 7/10 because although it's not as pretty and unshackled as the XBone version, it's still fun, especially with the Fanatec CSR wheel setup. It's basically unfair to compare this game to the Xbone copy because of the hardware differences. Compare 360's H2 to H1, and you'll appreciate what Sumo Digital was able to achieve: A beautiful (for 360), fun, and energetic driving game thats 100% Forza and 0% boring.    … Expand

    @Noppix the game is out, people have been playing it since yesterday when it was released in America, please try to get your facts straight. UK/EU release is in 2 days.

UK/EU release is in 2 days.

    Anyway, onto the review. Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox 360 is one of those games with a great premise, but executed poorly in terms of communication, cut content and design decisions. I am sure SUMO DIGITAL (the developers of the 360 version) tried their best but, unfortunately, the game falls way off the mark, and to be honest, from a critical point of view, should not really of even bothered releasing it for the 360 at all. Onto the differences:

    - Graphics: As expected, and we all expected they are vastly the different. The cars actually, do not look to bad, perhaps a little better in terms of forza horizon 1, but it's the environments that stick out like a sore thumb. Muddy, washed out and lifeless environments all across the map showcase just how much the 360 is on it's last legs HOWEVER, in actual fact, show a severe lack of good judgement in design because they are worse, much worse than expected. The offroad areas, fields and hills, grass and forests, meadows and that are all scaled way back and way down, no details, less/no trees/bushes/plants/flowers/vines etc, no far clip or close clip details for grass or bushes or any foliage. Environments look ghostly, empty and just as if they are there to "fill in" the game, but in what can at times look like an original XBOX game environments. Particles are reduced, cars no longer get dust, damage system is scaled back, the lighting engine, tries it's best, but ultimately fails in contrast to the environments and making them look nice. All of this was expected, but to this extent?! Is a major let down, GTA 5 does a much better job of the country side and that in some ways is a much bigger game than this.

    - Sound: This is a big one, first and foremost, the sound design on the xbox one is vastly superior as they have been able to dedicate more resources into audio design, cars sound great, realistic, and how intimate details of there audio enchanced far more than the first game. For the 360 version...another let down. The wonderful Lambo Hurracan and many many of the cars V8s and V6's ETC sound muted, quiet and very different. Other cars sound muffled and quieter, with no directly obvious 3d audio and very little depth. MANY details have been removed from the engine audio, reverb, roll offs, sputter and all sorts. They are worse than normal forza games, maybe a tiny tiny bit louder than forza horizon 1, but they are aweful. Each car sounds far from the real life version except in a few special cases, where as the Xbox One version, each cars sounds highly detailed, beautiful engine audio, loud extensive details and a clearl distinguish between engine types.

    - Gameplay/Physics etc is another thing that has changed, with no open wheel cars, different car list consisting of about 20 cars different from the X1 version, less radio stations, less traffic, lifeless zones with no people, no tuning, no drivatars, 200 events LESS than X1 version, a smaller map, NO PROPER DLC, CUT CARS such as the FREE X1 launch pack, no 2015 mustang for you or Land Rover Defender or Clio Williams plus many other issues...physics and driving model is another issue. Cars are icey, floaty and appear to slide aorund everywhere. When they take jumps, they land with much less force, bashing or crashing or off road driving feels less intense because of how loose the physics are, compared to how tight they are in the X1 version. Damage models suffer from suferfical minor damage at most, compared to greater detail. Lack of weather is another limitation of the 360, but perhaps at least having some wet roads, or fog here and there would of been something. Overall, at first glance it may not seem like it but dick deeper, Ralph was correct when he said "these are two different games" across the consoles.

    - Conclusion TL;DR if you can afford to save up and get an X1, i'd highly suggest you do to get the proper, full version of the game experience. FH2 on 360 suffers from a long list of issues that yes, are to be expected by hardware limitation BUT seem to be taken to far in terms of gameplay, sound desigin and graphics. Not only are there as of writing (1/10/2014) no official reviews for the 360 version ANYWHERE, there is no news on DLC or post support which is just shameful, both versions deserve the attention, despite being different. So overall, a fun game that is let down by it's hardware and design decisions, not reccommended unless you want a slightly better looking forza horizon 1 but with a much more limiting scope. It's a game that shows the hardwares age, the decision to develop for the 360 was a bit crazy at best. A huge let down that was poorly executed on the 360. Unless you are an absolute Forza NUTTER, avoid this version, and save up for the X1 and get that version, you'll be amazed at the differences.

The off-road driving is also laughably bad, Forza's race-track based physics engine quickly falls over when asked to deal with jumps and rough ground. 95% of the cars are clearly recycled from the first game, and they somehow managed to make the in game voice-overs even more annoying and patronising.

    I appreciate that the xb-one is the primary intended platform for Forza horizon 2, but honestly this xb360 version is so lazily put together and devoid of new features that its insulting.

No downloadable content, no weather changes such as rain the biggest weather switch up in a racing game that there could be or snow I guess for that matter. Anyway there are also major changes like your very little freedom in your free roam experience for instance the Xbox One version has very little restrictions such as fencing surrounding areas you would otherwise be able to easily access but on the 360 version you have indestructible fences and brick walls on just about every open area you can see making your open world very narrow sending you off with very few routes to take you where you want to go. Another big issue I have with this version is that the leveling system between the two are majorly different. Leveling up on the One means a major credit boost and a level up wheel where you could possibly get a car when spinning whereas on the 360 there is no such wheel to give you that extra edge or possibility at a free car. All in all Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox 360 feels like a beta compared to the Xbox One, not because of the graphics, but because of the major and miniscule gameplay differences the biggest being no random online free roam no weather and the biggest problem.

    It is f*cking awesome, really. But only on XBOX ONE. Sure, maybe it is because the game was made especially for the next generation, but there are a lot of differences. So, XBOX360 Edition could not be published.

    I am a forza fan, and this is not what we expected, we expected more, but it is still a good driving game, try not to compare it with forza horizon 2 on Xbox One, compare it with the first forza horizon, and its like a expansion of the first game, I really like it, as a good driving game but not as a forza game

    Forza Horizon 1 Europe Expansion Pack

    This game simply doesn't deserve the same title as the Xbox One version of this game. This game is missing a vast amount of content.

Everything from cars, such as the Honda S2000 CR, to the docklands West of Nice, great for drifting and photo shoots, to online road trips, DLC, game updates, Forza Rewards, nearly everything that makes the Xbox One version great is missing from the game. Even the leveling, on Xbox One when you level up, you get a wheelspin. This gives you an opportunity to win anything from 1,000cr. to 150,000cr. to a Honda CR-X to even a Ferrari 250 GTO (6,000,000cr.) and if you have VIP, if you win credits, they're DOUBLED, and if you win a car, you win the car AND the value of the car. On the 360? You get 2,500cr. In other words, if you wanted to buy a Ferrari 458 Italia, you would have to rank up to level 88 without spending a dime (granted, you win miniscule amounts of money for races). If you're like me, on the Xbox One, at level 73 (a few months ago) I had bought all but the 7 most expensive cars in the game and had a sum of around 1,600,000 credits. And yes, I had one a 458 Italia. The games are just so vastly different, and honestly, this doesn't feel like another installment to the Forza Horizon franchise. It feels like a mediocre expansion pack to Forza Horizon 1. If you can grab the game for $10 and you absolutely love driving in any game, go for it. If you want another Forza game, spend the money on an Xbox One and a copy for it. I wouldn't advise any of my friends to buy the Xbox 360 version of this game. It was a quick rip off cash grab from T10 and Microsoft, and that's it. Not to mention that they lied about the differences between the two games.    … Expand

    Luckily, Turn 10/Playground/Microsoft decided the 360 isn't dead just yet and have opted to support all the fans of Forza on the 360 with this title by handing the keys to Sumo Digital, a long standing studio with a solid background in racing titles.

    If you accept this game for what it is and ignore the Xbox One videos online you'll be immersed in a highly addictive gameplay experience that, like Horizon 1 delivers something that touches the limits of what's possible on this old tech. The cars look great, as does the environment, it has the familiar Forza handling as well as an expansive event structure. Overall, if you only buy one more title for your 360 then this should be it. If you're sticking with the 360 for a while then this is a superb addition to your collection.

    If, on the other hand, you can't get past the visuals and wider gameplay experience that's available in the other version then ditch your 360 and buy an Xbox One, this is a title worth splashing out for.    … Expand

Yeah, the graphics a bit sucks, but at least it runs on a solid 30 FPS. The cars are looking good, we have a good amount of choice from them which is nice and the storefront is still active so that's a positive. The world map is kinda large. Most of the case you can go wherever you want, even through fields, so people who claim this version does not let you free roam are lying. Of course there are some indestructible fences, but you have to understand the limitations of the console. The also cutted the OST, only 3 radio stations are available, but i have to admit, they chose the best of the tracks. From a person who mostly like rock music i was surprised that most of the times i listened the electronic stations. very good selection of 2014's music. There are plenty of events in the game, showcases too, but the most welcomed thing is the Division system which... honestly, admit it: forces you to drive most of the cars in the game, which in my opinion is a very good developer choice. I enjoyed it.

    So yeah, do not compare it to the Xbox One version because you are going to be disappointed, but comparing to the first Horizon game it's a decent sequel. Maybe not as good as the first Horizon was but it keeps the pace.    … Expand

    Forza Horizon 2 was a step back from the first. The lack of simulation damage destroys online play and game modes were removed. On the positive side, the A.I. difficulty seems tougher than Forza 3 and 4.

    Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox One is an astonishing masterpiece by Playground Games. That cannot be said for the Xbox 360 version, however, because this was developed by SUMO. SUMO is not a bad company but Forza Horizon 2 (X360) isn't as good as the XONE version or even the first game. It lacks unique things like drivatars, seamless multiplayer and even DLC. SUMO can do better than this, surely.

    The last Forza game for the Xbox 360, Forza Horizon 2, is one of these games that I wonder: "What were they thinking while making this?", because this version shouldn't exist in the first place. It's a downgrade in every single aspect,not only for the Xbox One version (which is comprehensible due to technical limitations), but for the majority of the Forza titles from the Xbox 360.

    The    The last Forza game for the Xbox 360, Forza Horizon 2, is one of these games that I wonder: "What were they thinking while making this?", because this version shouldn't exist in the first place. It's a downgrade in every single aspect,not only for the Xbox One version (which is comprehensible due to technical limitations), but for the majority of the Forza titles from the Xbox 360.

    The ambiantation in this version is absolutely horrendous, prolly the worst in the entire franchise. Some landscapes look empty due to the lack of vegetation, especially in the cross country areas. It feels very blend, graphically ugly and, to be completely honest, it falls flat even for Xbox 360 standards (which weren’t bad at all), being a lot worse than Horizon 1, a game that took the ambientation to a whole nother level.

    This game also kind sucks in the campaign mode, being very repetitive in its structure of “after you do a bunch of tournaments in one city, you go to another and repeat the process until the end, just so you can earn FIFTY GRAND AT THE FINAL RACE (at best, because if you have the assists turned on, you earn only 20k)”. The only thing to make this campaign more bearable is the fact that it is actually fairly short to reach any%.

    The car list and handling are probably the strongest point of this version, being worse than the major version, but still being consistent enough to have a nice variety of vehicles and a bigger car list than its predecessor. The handling and customization options are the very same from Horizon 1, having the annoyance of being unable to tune you vehicle,but also being decent enough for you to upgrade your car. The driving experience is the same as Horizon 1, however, despite being good, it sometimes sucks in the Cross Country events since it was not well polished for these events.

    The worst point in this game, however, is how poorly optimized this crap is. I cannot measure how many times my game has crashed whenever I wanted to switch cars or while loading into races. Basically the polishement of this game, which was supposed to be good since this version was made for this specific console, is terrible.

    So, what is my verdict? Well, this game SUCKS and, despite sharing the same map as the Xbox One version, this is a totally different game, which isn’t always a bad thing, but when the experience is so sloppy and unpolished, it’s impossible to enjoy the game. If it was more refined, this would get 5/10, simply due due to the overall good driving experience, but since the optimization for this Xbox 360 adaptation is garbage, it only gets a 3/10 since it completely ruins this already mediocre experience.    … Expand
