The presentation side of the game has been done extremely well and in my opinion both the visuals and sound design make the game stand out. If you like trying out lots of different tracks and vehicles then this game will be right up your alley because each track and vehicle has variety a plenty. The game can be a little too difficult for its own good at times the easy to pick up and play style that’s been implemented keeps the frustration levels down.
    Technically the game holds up really well for the most part and I must admit that I was impressed with how tight and responsive the controls were. As mentioned earlier the game can be quite unforgiving and having to be flawless at times doesn’t help matters. Unfortunately the game offers no online offerings which is a shame because I think it would’ve elevated the game even higher. Classic arcade racers paved the way for a lot of the fantastic racers that have made the way to consoles since then and even though the new racers satisfied me a great deal a part of me was still crying out for a modern 80’s & 90’s style racer. Thankfully that dream of mine has now been fulfilled thanks to the fantastic racer that is Horizon Chase Turbo. From the moment I started the game I was hooked and when you take in all of the game’s beauty you soon realise that it’s a game that you’ll return back to time and time again. You’ll be pleased to know then that this game isn’t lacking in terms of content and even though an online multiplayer offering would’ve been nice you will without a doubt be satisfied with all the different tracks and vehicles you can get to grips with. I will warn you though that racing on these different tracks can be quite unforgiving at times, but thankfully I never seemed to get too frustrated because the easy to pick up and play style meant that I always wanted one more race. At the end of the day then I can’t recommend Horizon Chase Turbo enough because the developers have catered to old-school gamers and modern gamers at the same time and the fun this game delivers to you means this game is up there with the very best arcade racers around.    … Expand

    Recommended for anyone who enjoyed the classic racing games from the 80's and 90's (Out Run, Top Gear etc). The visuals, whilst basic by today's standards, are full of charm and the game looks great. The soundtrack is fantastic, the controls are excellent. And the game performs with a consistent framerate, meaning it runs extremely smoothly and gives a great sense of speed.

    This is one of the most beautiful video games I have ever played. So nice art, gameplay is great, so many things to do in single player... I had played it through the end on my mobile phone and so happy that I also have it on xbox now too. Looking forward to Horizon Chase 2! And for any other game from this company!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo muito bão, nostalgia total. Os veículos brasileiros são sensacionais.
    Música incrível.
    Só não gostei da corridas a noite, muito escuro e obstáculos dentro da pista em alguma provas.
    Parabéns Aquiris continuem .    … Expand

    There was a pretty big racing game sale on Xbox live last week and that's where I bought this. I really wanted a new racing game and there was quite a few to choose from I hadn't played, but this was the cheapest and seemed to have the best reviews too so I went for it... Dissapointed is the word.

    It's not terrible by any means and as a throw back to games like Outrun (or my personal fav Super Hang On) it does the job, it really does feel like a 8/16 bit era game just with tarted up graphics and I think that's the problem. It almost doesn;t feel like a racing game, cars are glued to the floor, you never need to let go of the gas and you just turn left or right. It's too simplistic I think. Even something like Burnout seems involved compared to this. It's also oddly hard, getting 100% on things takes a fair bit of effort, as does the achievements.
    But heyho, it's fun for an hour blast at a time I guess.    … Expand

    Não é possível dar uma nota menor do que esta. O game é uma obra prima. O estúdio brasileiro. Homenageou o país com pistas lindas que refletem os principais pontos turísticos. A diversão é garantida.

    As far as old-school racers go, Horizon Chase Turbo is one of the best and now is a great time to check it out with its cool new update.

    Horizon Chase Turbo is best viewed from the perspective its designers intended. In that sense, it’s a rather fun title, and might actually make a great option for younger drivers who are a bit overwhelmed by the “Forza” franchises. Achievement hunters may be turned off by all the grinding, and driving purists will have issues with the frequent collisions. However, when played as an occasional diversion instead of a campaign – just as one did with its arcade inspirations – this is one horizon that racers certainly won’t mind chasing.
