    This title of the Forza franchise is considerably one of the best arcade racing games, With a map that makes you feel free, driving on the road you will have the freedom to race with cars from the fastest to the oldest and most powerful.

    The Best racing game of all time! Superior to anything to-date in 2022. Better than Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5. Beautiful roads, beautiful driving conditions. Brilliant Championships which have been lost to the series. Fantastic handling model, great speed. Bucket lists are perfect, so is the music and showcase events.

    I'm not a big racing fan but I've always loved forza, it's not so serious it's boring like drive club or forza, they are dull Imo but forza - it's full of life and looks gorgeous, great music, great with friends and is real fun.

    After playing the first horizon I had to try this one out. Really different feel as it’s on a new console other than the 360 but loved the races. Some were difficult and I ignored most of the bucket lists and barn finds.

    Another great outing in the Horizon series with a really awesome soundtrack. I usually play my own music when playing racing games but for this one it was not needed. I actually added music from the soundtrack to my actual playlist.

It has integration with the Xbox One Game DVR which allows you to record the best moments you make automatically. The licensed soundtrack. A classical music station in Italian (or they did not translate the participations of this DJ) is added to make the hustle easier. Horizon Rocks, Horizon Pulse returns with their respective DJs giving a lot of life to what happens at the festival. Random rain and dynamic weather storms are integrated. The Storm Island expansion and Porsche Expansion adds more hours of game and car challenges, as well as events in super-devastating storms and The Gauntlet. Challenge lists and Drivatar integration from Forza Motorsport 5 are added for your friends to integrate with you asynchronously and play credits in the process.

    The bad:
    Super stars do not return. Illegal races do not return outside the festival. It only has five special events. The scenarios of forest, vineyards and forest with vineyards, castles, ruins and plantations are repeated a lot and it may seem like a "rural" Forza (plus a more modern coastal strip)

    The Meh!:
    Although this is a version called the same for Xbox 360, the Xbox One version is much superior with different events, cars and features. And by the way many talkers that Playground Games has created works of art, there is also the logo of Turn 10 in the box

Signe des temps, la franchise Forza poursuit donc son arcadisation à marche forcée avec sa présentation adolescente (le tutoiement et l'assistance permanente) et le "m'as-tu-vu" kikoolol affligeant martelé par le réseau social autour duquel est construit l'intégralité du jeu.

    A cet égard, la retape régulière pour leur DLC "Storm Island" frise l'indécence : des vidéos de publicité apparaissent dans le jeu lui-même comme des romanos dans le métro, la main tendue.

    Néanmoins, si la conduite arcade, simpliste et simplette est bel et bien là et me semble inchangée -à part la vitesse générale, sans doute moins "fast and furious" qu'avant- la disparition des barrières en font désormais un vrai monde ouvert, certes encore plus rempli d'icônes à farmer dans tous les sens.

    Si la liberté de mouvement y gagne considérablement, il va falloir rouler sans compter, y compris pour simplement changer ou acheter une nouvelle voiture puisqu'il faut se rendre au "hub" quoiqu'il arrive. Répétitif et rapidement ennuyeux, toujours fidèle à son attitude de kikoo, FH2 propose des "épreuves" consistant à rouler à 300 km/h dans un champ de maïs ou bien à labourer les vignes avec sa Lambaudi orange.

    Bien que limité à 30 im/s, il faut certes lui reconnaître une technique vraiment superbe et de très beaux effets météo en temps réel ainsi que d'excellents effets sonores. On regrettera d'autant plus l'absence de caméra TV dans les replays ! et des temps de chargement tout de même longuets...

    Globalement aussi beauf qu'un Need For Speed, ce Forza pour les kévins mauvais conducteurs sans assurance reste désespérément bas de plafond.

A grandes rasgos me ha gustado, aún así le tengo algunos peros a esta segunda entrega. Técnicamente es impecable, aun tres años después de su salida, el clima dinámico, los viajes transnacionales y los desafíos son agregados que me han encantado. La jugabilidad es excelente, el manejo es específico según el modelo de automóvil y lo mismo ocurre con los sonidos que emite.

    Hay dos grandes errores que me han molestado, el primero es que eché de menos un poco de historia, en la anterior entrega habian "rivales" que te picaneaban y eso invitaba a comprar mejores automoviles y vencerlos, las victorias se sentían como eso. En ese sentido esta entrega se acerca mas a Motorsport, compites solo por ganar. Al menos yo echo de menos esas interacciones con mas personajes, en general.

    El segundo punto tiene que ver con lo insidiosos que son los micropagos, al entrar al menu de compra de autos en el taller se te presentan varios modelos, y al intentar comprar algunos de ellos con la moneda del juego te aparece un mensaje de que solo se puede comprar con dinero real o comprando un pack de automoviles, lo mismo ocurre con la expansion, despues de un par de horas de juego inmediatamente se te ofrece la compra de Storm island. Este tipo de politicas de i

    Another brilliant feature in this game is the ability to upgrade your car.
    The point of the game is to beat the Horizon Finale, but before you can do that you have to race in and win different championships.
    One thing that keeps me in this game is the barn finds that can be found through earning, or buying, the $20.00 treasure map ('_').
    My favorite car is the Lambo LM002 because it is huge and is classified as an offroad vehicle.
    I would definitely recommend this game to other people, it'll be worth your money.

It's a lot of fun to find shortcuts in the vs races and time trials and the off-road races are unlike anything in other racing games.

    First racer I have ever played, so I am not rating on a curve. The game was fairly good, but it did not persuade me to want to buy a sequel when it comes out. I appreciate the steps they took to change it from a pure racing sim, but thye need some serious help on that front if they intend to broaden the appeal to non-racing gamers.

    Pros:
    They made an easy difficulty that allowed even a noob like me to find the game accessable and enjoyable. For the first 1/3 of the game I used the easy mode and then gradually stepped up the challenge. Really well done.

    Pretty looking game; not the greatest graphics nor the most scenic settings but better than average.

    Car sounds were very realistic and enjoyable....easy to find immersion just cruising down the road.

    Cons:

    Biggest single player gripe is the radio stations. I get it that songs people know are expensive to license, but everyone else seems to do it. I see fanboys positing that it is done purposely for this reason or that but it is obviously a money issue. The most popular music of the people your games a geared to is pop, rock and hip hop and yet we get 1 station of classical, and 6 stations of indie house music garbage. Neddless to say I, and I imagine the vast majority play with the radio off.....at least allow us to customize a playlist.....huge fail in a driving game.

    Largest gripe in the online play is there is no penalty for damaging your car....sure it looks damaged, but it doesn't impact performance, so every race turns into a smash and crash.....like laying Hold'em with no stakes....every fool goes all-in every time.....another huge fail.

    Outside of racing there is very, very little to do......even the road trips are a race...sure, it says take your time, enjoy the scenery and yet you add dozens of AI vehicles all around you going your exact speed, no matter what it is, and smashing into you.

    Finally, for as expensive as it is to make these games, adding a few extra towns so you aren't asked to take road trips to the same 6 spots over and over again would be relatively inexpensive and yet would go a long way to cover up the monotony.

    OMFG this game is just awesome! Huge open world, 200+ cars and the ability to drive everywhere.

    The game takes place after 2012's Forza Horizon and yes this is a direct sequel to Forza Horizon. The game features a wonderful array of cars, from jeep wranglers to Lamborghinis there is no shortage of fun here. The events are just like Forza Motorsport 5. They are arranged in Championships.
    OMFG this game is just awesome! Huge open world, 200+ cars and the ability to drive everywhere.

    The game takes place after 2012's Forza Horizon and yes this is a direct sequel to Forza Horizon. The game features a wonderful array of cars, from jeep wranglers to Lamborghinis there is no shortage of fun here. The events are just like Forza Motorsport 5. They are arranged in Championships. Basically choose a car category and you are done. Select the car category, buy or choose a car you currently own and just race. During when the championships are over and you have the option to choose another championship and you pick it you are given a mini task to drive to a certain area on the map in a limited amount of time. But only if you want a small but satisfying cash reward. You can always rejoin the same championship and still possible beat the game with only one car.

    The map is also so huge. The time spent to get from one side of the map to the other side horizontally is almost 15 minutes. You'll also find fun car challenges that you can race in. They are called Bucket List challenges. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions on the car challenge bio and just hop in and drive. But you can only use them for the event. They also feel like test drives. In case you haven't got Pagani Huyura you've always wanted, try it out, you love it, like it, or hate it when it comes to its driving. Next we will talk/type about the special events. These are given out at a random time but you have a high possibility of earning a free car which is very nice. You can either face against train, airplanes, and hot air balloons. They are spectacular and don't get too boring. Rain and fog is now implemented into the game and they are both meant to enhance the simulation a bit more.

    The game also features a leveling up system. When you level up you get a chance at winning a free car or rewards ranging from 2,500 credits to over 100,000 credits. Its a really nice touch. You don't just get a free risk taker thing, but you also get a perk point. You can understand how this will go if you've every played an rpg. The game runs at an unbreakable 30 Frames Per Second at 1080p. Amazing how the frame rate never drops not even once. And did I say how good the game looks. HOLY F***ING S*** it gave me a boner. The game almost looks photo realistic. Bye Bye.

    The gameplay is fun and open world with a variety of settings. Want to go for a coastal blast along the Med in your LaFerrari? Do it. Want to turn an old Abbey into a rally stage with your Escort Cossy? You can. How about a 235mph blast down the highway connecting France and Italy? Just hop in your Veryon and GO! The free roam aspect of this game means you can never really get that bored with it.

    If possible I would give this game a 9.5. I used to only be an action, shooter fan, but this game made me a fan of the racing genre. Presented racing in an exciting way that made it approachable to someone with no racing game experience. The offroad gameplay was fun as well as the storm island DLC. The Porsche DLC was okay and the fast and furious DLC sucked but was free.

    It's a simulation racing game, you do events, collect faster cars and race them against tougher opponents. Liked the off roading aspect but the story line was kinda iffy and the premise was not immersive. There was no objective other than more cars or any kind of real endgame pulling me along.

    This is... perfection. Combining Test Drive Unlimited with Forza is a match made in heaven.

Combining Test Drive Unlimited with Forza is a match made in heaven. I'm a huge fan of racing and open world games and after having played hundreds of hours of Forza Motorsport, I now feel like the Motorsport series has little purpose to exist. Make no mistake, although Horizon 2 comes across as being more causal and exciting, it makes no compromises in gameplay. Sure it's not 60 FPS but the environments are very pretty - as are the cars. Dynamic weather, day-night cycle, decent soundtrack and best of all, varied event types and RPG elements. All of these benefits without any loss of identity. This is still very much a Forza game in terms of its customisation. You can still upgrade and tune every minute detail of each car as well as create and download masterful artistic designs for the liveries. The skill system definitely adds to the gameplay and makes it more meaningful. The fact that it's all open world means you won't spend time in menus, and there's no long loading times. After each event you are given the option to improve your time for better rewards rather than having to go through menus to find Rivals. There's plenty to see and do in Horizon 2 - especially given the Head to Head challenges of Drivatars roaming around along with collectibles and the Bucket List challenges. My favourite thing about this game is the off-roading. With the variety of cars in this game - especially off-roaders and rally cars, this adds to the excitement. No longer are you limited to a limited choice of circuit tracks like in Motorsport. Rather, there are more exciting events like racing against jets in a Ferrari 360 CS or a train in a Lancia Fulvia. It's great to see so many licensed cars of all types being packed into an open-world game with deep customisation and tuning. Unlike the Forza Motorsport series, Horizon 2 is all about excitement and fun. Whilst it offers all the options of the serious simulator, it couldn't care less about how you've tuned your car or placing strict limitations on performance index. It's more focused on the type of experience and car - rallying, hot hatch, GT, supercars, saloons, retro etc. All of these elements combine together beautifully to create a perfect racing game. It has the solid mechanics and customisability of a simulator but doesn't feel boring. The excitement of an arcade racer with the depth of a simulator. It is not just Forza by name. The detail of the cars and their interiors - even the traffic cars - is amazing. Best of all, you don't need to be a Gold member or play with friends to get the full experience. The Drivatars roaming the world feel like real players even if they're not.

    I gave Test Drive Unlimited 2 a 9/10 despite it not being a high-budget game. But Horizon 2 takes the vision and refines it. This is any racing game fan's dream. It is the absolute pinnacle of racing games - both in terms of breadth, depth, design and quality.

    If you like drag racing you in for a bit of a dissapointment, now don't get me wrong, they put everything in this game you need to drag, and a nice place to do it at as well, HOWEVER drag racing is kind of ruined by one single car, the alfa romeo 33 stradale. There is no other car in the game that can even come close to the speed and just raw acceleration of that car, which kind of makes drag racing boring because everyone just pretty much races those cars. BUT if you find a good group of people to drift with it can be a whole lot of fun.

    I think the only other complaints I have are that it seems to rain way too often, and the xbox 360 version they released was just a complete rip off, not cool. But the map is great, theres sooooo many cars, they even released a porshe pack that wont completely destroy your wallet like the last one.

    If your looking for a driving game, THIS is the only one worth getting (until forza 6 comes out at least)

    The game has 700+ races in single player, from racing offroad against other drivers to racing a train,and loads more races should you play online.

    Gameplay wise,Horizon 2 is the best game of the year.The handling is a bit more arcadey than Forza Motorsport,which this is a spin-off of,,but not to Need For Speed levels of arcardey.But the handling is amazing and is easy enough to pick up and play.

    Overall,Forza Horizon 2 is the best Forza title ever,the best racing game from 2011-2014,and the best game of 2014 in general.Go out and buy this immediately,you need to play Horizon 2 by any means necessary.

    For me it was such a good game that I can overlook some things like sometimes cars becoming unstable when turning, or always burning out when the race begins, even not being able to take your car for a spin before making up your mind and buying it.

    I can only think of 2 downsides. Firstly, the skill points you earn don't grant you anything of real value. Secondly, car customization could be greatly improved.

    PS4 fanboys must be so jealous. I own a PS4 myself and the best cars game right now is The Crew, and boy, what a mediocre game.

    It looks great, handles like a cookie cutter Forza game. but the major problem with this game, like many others on consoles: 1. It's a racing game. 2. It runs at a measly 30 fps. The reasons why it runs at this ridiculously low fps and not 60 fps at the very least are unimportant: it's the fact that it does. Racing games should also be at 60 fps. Go big or go home.

    That's because this game doesn't just look great, it plays spectacularly as well. The graphics, from the cars to the setting, are some of the best around. The environment you drive is so beautiful and expansive you'll want to immerse yourself in it with your favorite car for a very long time. Speaking of cars, there are 200 of them, ranging from beastly muscle cars to off-road demons, so you'll never get bored of one car or another. The customization options for the cars are deep, so deep you'll have so much fun just by modifying your car to your exact taste. And the soundtrack is massive and lively, just what you need when you're racing.

    I really can't think of anything wrong with this game; but obviously it's not perfect, but it's extremely close to being so. If you're interested in a deep, fun, diverse, and beautiful car arcing game, I strongly recommend you pick up Forza Horizon 2, because very few other games like it will satisfy you as much.

Driving/racing feels greatly improved, as well as the lighting and shadows, but this game is missing something the first one had; A WOW factor, nothing really kept me interested.

    I'd probably have to admit this is the best game so far on xbo. It looks next gen and online works properly. I'm not the biggest car game person and it does get grindy.. but its pretty excellent. It sets the bar for other games to reach.

    As a huge fan of the Forza series, I bought an Xbox one just to play with the full detail on Forza Horizon 2, and there is a huge and noticeable difference from 360 to one. But what I'm pleased to see, is how far Turn 10 has came from the first Horizon to the second. I'm very pleased with it, the graphics are much better and the damage is much better along with customizing and tuning.As a huge fan of the Forza series, I bought an Xbox one just to play with the full detail on Forza Horizon 2, and there is a huge and noticeable difference from 360 to one.

    With a huge map, hundreds of cars, and countless racetrack possibilities, Forza Horizon 2 is a stellar open world racing game.

    This game convinced me to buy Xbox One and for me FH2 is the only racing game that should be taken into account this year. [Dec 2014, p.54]
