    El primer "Forza Horizon" es un juego adelantado a su tiempo según mi opinión. Lanzado en 2012, es un "videojuego de coches" de mundo abierto, al estilo de "Need For Speed" pero que sin embargo la extensión del mapa y sus detallados paisajes, carreteras y vehículos lo hacen diferenciarse del resto.

    El primer "Forza Horizon" es un juego adelantado a su tiempo según mi opinión. Lanzado en 2012, es un "videojuego de coches" de mundo abierto, al estilo de "Need For Speed" pero que sin embargo la extensión del mapa y sus detallados paisajes, carreteras y vehículos lo hacen diferenciarse del resto.
    La calidad de los vehículos es muy buena, no faltan detalles. Todos y cada uno de las decenas de vehículos que hay disponibles, desde el más simple Fiat 500 hasta el flamante Bugatti Veyron están recreados con mimo, desde el aspecto exterior hasta el sonido del motor.
    Es sin duda un avance para los siguientes "Forza Horizon", que poco a poco han ido evolucionando a más y mejor.
    Para mi gusto, la iluminación y la paleta de colores fue lo más desacertado y puede que también en cuanto a la resolución; errores que parecen haber desaparecido en las siguientes entregas.
    Sin duda, es un gran videojuego de coches, con diferentes y divertidas carreras callejeras y de rally, una personalización extensa y una gama de vehículos amplia. Resumiendo, es un videojuego divertido, con chispa y que te enganchará.

    Esse é um dos melhores jogos de corrida que já joguei! Os gráficos são bonitos (considerando que é um jogo de 2012), há vários carros para se colecionar e a progressão é lenta, porém prazerosa. Sem duvida indispensável para quem tem um Xbox 360 em casa.

    Forza Horizon - 9.5 / 10 {highly recommend}

    The game that revolutionized the genre, and brought this different theme of open world with racing, with no need to run from the police, you could run, take breaks with other runners, admire the landscapes, in a place where everyone was runners like you, a unique experience, with perfect music, perfect, and challenging design.

It’s just not perfect for some physics issues in racing, but it does not affect the good experience that you will have playing.

    Increible lo que puede hacer la Xbox 360, tiene carencias con respecto a los posteriores, pero para ser el primero sienta las bases para lo que vendría después ... duración perfecta y online correcto ...

    A game ahead of its time! I played very little but I already had the basis that this game is wonderful since it has beautiful graphics, good gameplay and a mind-blowing draw distance for the time of game. I wish they made this game here for PC

    A beautiful and truly awe inspiring take on the traditional Forza franchise, the open world gameplay is incredible.

    Forza Horizon is not simply a great racing game; it’s a great game in general. From the handling to the visuals and sound, from the tweaking to the reward system, Horizon has everything it needs to be an enjoyable time. It may lack the challenge and depth that fans of the core Forza series know and love but if you’ve admired the Forza Motorsport games from a distance (like me) then do yourself a favor and play this amazing game.

    Valiant and almost flawless effort to bring more arcade elements into the serious Forza games offers more than any other competition. [Dec 2012]

    Like a real party Forza Horizon can entertain you for hours. The game offers variation in both the singleplayer and multiplayer modes and looks fantastic. The soundtrack just completes it. Despite a few flaws the franchise took a turn that proves to be good for newcomers, but also great for the fanbase. You can't miss out on this party.
