    just adds to an already super fun game, they nailed the environment and the way the dirt reacts to the car movement is incredible and mind blowing

    To get a ""rally'' experience with big ford trucks and open wide tracks that only run for 3 minutes, instead of actual rally cars and dangerous narrow stages is very disappointing. Again, in true Forza style, driving to get the races takes more time than the actual races. And each run time don't add up as it should in rally style.

It just doesn't feel like a proper expansion because it doesn't change any rule from the core game. The pace notes implementation is silly and useless, people quickly favor the race lines over it.
    So if you know anything at all from rally or played even the likes of Dirt before, avoid.    … Expand

    Without doubt, my favourite expansion of FH5. I enjoyed the base game and indeed the Hotwheels expansion, but coming back to rallying is awesome. Recommended!

    Rally races are somewhat okay, but the copilot instructions are absolutely terrible (preferring to tell you about chickens rather than the hairpin that is right behind them), there is a helicopter constantly blowing sand into your vision and the final race that you have to do regular mostly asphalt races to do to qualify? Of course it's a cross country race in buggies...

Of course it's a cross country race in buggies... Then there are bugs like every rally that starts on an incline starts me in reverse gear and my first upshift is always ignored, have to double tap to get to second gear. This is a disgrace.… Expand

    Al contrario que con el Dlc de Hot wheels y como fan de los rallyes este dlc no me ha sorprendido tanto.
    Es un buen Dlc pero queda algo corto en mapeado y originalidad sintiéndose como contenido igual al del juego original. No es un mal añadido y es muy disfrutable pero esperaba algo mas.
    Otro punto negativo es por el Helicóptero que al menos a día de hoy no se puede desactivar y molesta    Al contrario que con el Dlc de Hot wheels y como fan de los rallyes este dlc no me ha sorprendido tanto.

    uma dlc de rally no deserto em um game que ja conta com um grande deserto, fora isso ate que as partes de rally na terra e na selva são interessantes, mas rally no asfalto(quem é que teve essa ideia?).

    -Ambition    Rally Adventures is an expansion that gamers have been waiting almost 1 year for...With a reveal made on social networks at the end of February, the new Forza --Horizon 5 expansion hasn't benefited from a communication campaign from Xbox or Playground Games... This gives an impression of: "We're giving you this because you've been waiting for it, but without much ambition...".

    -Ambition is precisely what this DLC lacks in certain respects... Particularly in the Rally aspect, which we find very little of, on rare cars and rare races... It's not Rally Simulation, and the aim was to introduce Rally to the general public, BUT I would have appreciated a little more risk-taking, with new types of races for example. However, I did find the Rally aspect in Solo mode, as we compete against drivevatars according to their lap times, unlike in co-op, where it's just lambda races with a stopwatch.
    -The Open World of this DLC doesn't bother us that much... It lends itself quite well to the Rally spirit in Mexico... But then again, very few races exploit it to any great extent. Speaking of races...

    The famous Boss races against Alex and Alenjandra are classic races, and I can see the point of not doing event races like in the old Forza games (with a train, planes and motorcycles passing by), but why didn't Playground Games make original, rally-style races with shortcuts to take and things to spice up the rally? Small disclaimer for Ramiro's races (Grid Riper) which really have that rally aspect, especially in the boss races and the famous last race.

    In conclusion: Rally Adventures is not a bad DLC
    in itself...it's a good continuation of Forza Horizon 5 with a touch of Rally for people who like to customize their cars. Some will find it disappointing, but I had a lot of fun with this DLC, even if it wasn't part of the HISTORY of Forza Horizon.    … Expand

    Rally Adventure may shine when it comes to visuals and pure entertainment, but as an expansion pack for the glorious Forza Horizon 5, you’d expect a much more comprehensive package. The substandard design of the roads and the nonexistence of official Rally rules are the main reasons why Rally Adventure is far behind the competition and it seems that Playground’s new policy is dragging the Forza series into a repetitive cycle.

    Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure is a lot of fun, but there are just minor annoyances that stop it being a stone cold classic. If you are still fully immersed in Forza Horizon 5 on a daily basis, this will be a hugely enjoyable accompaniment - a no-brainer. Just don’t expect perfection.

    The Rally Raid maintains the consistent performance of the Horizon series and aims to emulate rally racing through its weather, handling, and track design, providing an outstanding racing experience. However, beyond the racing experience, this DLC falls flat. The absence of distinctive scenery and insufficiently detailed roadbook creates a disappointing impression from the outset. Additionally, the lack of authenticity in the racing culture and the lacklustre storyline of subsequent events are unacceptable.
