    Forza Horizon Rally is a very fast and highly atmospheric arcade rally expansion. The tracks are nicely bouncy. How about a full rally game next? [Feb 2013]

    So is it worth playing? Actually, yes, though you’ll want to watch some footage first, or be aware of the limitations of rally racing. There is no traffic or simultaneous opponents, and the lack of precipitation takes away the fun and unpredictable elements of rally. With no snow, ice, rain or mud, the times you’re racing against feel fixed rather than based on the day’s conditions.

    As a complement this expansion is a great addition to Forza Horizon, with a very different flavor of what is included on the disc.

    Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios proved with Forza Horizon that the franchise could successfully be transported from the asphalt to an open world. The Rally Expansion Pack adds a whole new dimension to this, in which racing with juiced up monsters on wheels across dirt roads feels very spectacular. Too bad it isn't as faithful to the real thing as we hoped though.

    This is a full-blooded add-on, and the kind of meaty expansion that Forza 4 sadly never enjoyed. It's not, however, quite the measure of the main dish, and it's something of a shame that the off-road sections couldn't be better integrated into Horizon's existing world rather than being bluntly torn away from it.

    A worthy alternative to the likes of Dirt. [Apr 2013, p.79]

    Is the expansion pack worth the 1600 Microsoft points? Well if you want to have a couple of new tracks and also multiplayer events then this content is in your spot, but there is more to spend 1600 points on and this content is not it. Playground studios have made a decent attempt to bring the rally experience to Horizon but let things slide with not letting you explore the Colorado area and see the sites away from the busy streets.

    The short & sweet: It's good and it's fun, but it's not worth $20. Note: I rated the main game of Forza Horizon a 10 (loved it!)

    PROS: Full on rally stages just like the Dirt games, maintains the Forza quality/realism for rally, you can rally upgrade any car in your garage (using a GTR for rally is pretty nuts), and there's a good chunk of new achievements along with it.

    CONS: Not enough content - this is the biggest thing. I finished the whole thing within a few hours, and there are only five new cars. Really? For the money they charge Turn 10 could stand to add a good 10-20 new cars with an expansion pack like this. Only other thing I could see as a con is that they basically just re-used roads from the main game and converted them to dirt roads. If you've played most of the main game you'll notice this pretty easily.

    I think it's a good starting point, and I'll be happy to see where they go with the rally portion of racing in the future Forza games.    … Full Review »

It is not long-lasting, there is not much content in it, but they added that what the first part of Horizon lacked - the rally. Yes, there were gravel races in the main game, but there were very few of them relative to others compared to subsequent parts. 5 cars, classic rally sports, not enough except the Audi Quattro. It takes less than 5 hours for all DLC, but it's worth it.… Full Review »
