Synopsis

Race through a massive wide-open world featuring dramatic weather and day to night cycles. Instantly connect with friends in the ultimate celebration of speed, style, and action-packed driving. Explore beautiful and exotic locations in more than 200 of the worlds greatest cars, all created with precise detail in 1080p.






Gameplay

The gameplay is simply fantastic! Do as you want, when you want, where you want. Buy cars from the Autoshow, take them over to the garage, and upgrade them as you want! The amount of upgrades is great, with both visual and performance upgrades. Take your car out on the road and free roam as you will. Travel across southern Europe, and enter a championship. Compete in races, and with the 'Ai' players using Forza's 'Drivatar' system, it's like racing against your real friends! Races are a variety of types, from Street races to Rally, Offroading to Rallycross, it's always different!
And with a Day-Night cycle, and beautiful weather changing conditions, each race is different in it's own way!


Join a club too! Car clubs allow you to race with club members and earn club XP. Join a club, or create your own!
If you would prefer to free roam with friends, go for it! Online free roam allows you to free roam as you want online! Road trips are great fun! Free roam and drive to the event with eachother, enter, race, drive to the next! It's a small championship, but travelling too and from each event! Friends, club members, anyone! The multiplayer is smooth, and very quick and easy to swap between online and solo play! Start online where you left off in single player!


The map is Southern Europe! It's pretty big but could be bigger. Although it still takes a decent amount of time to cross end to end!

Map:

Challenge yourself with the Bucket List! A variety of different events scattered across Europe each with a different fantastic car to use! Try and get through a speed camera over 180mph in a Koenigsegg Agera, or maybe 20 Air skills in a Nissan GTR in under 2 mins.

Try and beat your friends speed's on the speed cameras across the map too! Get as fast as you can! You can also smash all 150 boards across the map too! With 'fast Travel' and 'XP' boards, smash and win! Also win when you level up, as each time you level up you are awarded a 'Spinwheel'. This is like the lottery, with cash and car prizes to be won! And each skill level increased, you are awarded skill points. These allow you to buy perks, from discounts to XP increases and more!







Graphics

Based on a modified version of the Forza 5 engine, Forza Horizon 2 is locked at a smooth 30 fps and runs at 1080p. The gameplay is smooth and free, with no problems of fps, even when speeding down the motorway at 230 mph in a Mclaren P1!

The cars look amazing. The detail of everything is fantastic. From interior to exterior of the cars, buildings, or scenery, it's all amazingly realistic. The scenery and nature is beautiful, with rolling mountains and flowing fields, to blue lakes and rocky villages, detail is fine in this game!

What makes the gameplay even better is when offroading. Mud and dirt sprays up, splattering your car and making it dirty, and looks very realistic.
When raining, the car's get wet, windscreen wipers come on, wiping away the water. The road gets soaked, and makes handling cars more difficult, but looks great with the ultra realistic water spray from the road!

Controls

The controls are very easy to get a hang of, being the usual racing and driving controls. The trigger vibrations on the Xbox One work great with this too!

My Ratings

Gameplay: 9
Muiltplayer: 9
Graphics: 9

Overall, 9/10

Improvements? Maybe a slightly bigger map, and it would be closer to a 10!

If you enjoy the rest of the Forza Franchise, especially the first Horizon, then you will love this!
Overall this is a fantastic game! A must buy for any car fanatic like myself!

Your an idiot if you think forza horizon 2 is good
Yes the graphics are awesome BUT

The Rank system is terrible 10,000 XP Per level

Online: you can only play against friends and not against anyone else in the world
what if your friends don't have it?????


There is NO dlc for the xbox 360 and if you intend to waste your money for graphics that are mediocre then feel free to do so

Have you even played this game?

10,000 Xp per level? No its not... At first yeah, but it's like any game, the higher the level, the more Xp required...

Only play against friends? Nope...
Not one of my friends has it, and I play online with random people.

Okay yeah, there's no DLC for 360, but it is encouraging people to upgrade, and plus, there is probably more people with Horizon 2 on Xbox One than on 360.

So no, we are not 'idiots' for thinking this game is good, brilliant infact.

You're only complaining because you have it for the 360 and that version is not how the game was intended to be played (at least the full game).
