I found this game very entertaining and have found it difficult to put it down. The graphics are some of the best I have seen whilst the game play is very smooth and very varied indeed. The only criticism I have would be that I would like to tour more of Europe on the gameplay.

Every Forza game takes it to a new level. Best racing games (along with anything made by Codemasters).

Theres so much to do, beautiful foliage with the setting in colorado; Fun upgrading your vehicles; I found myself playing this for hours at a time

The music in the game is irritating at times; Glad you can turn off the radio; I bought this limited edition one but I dont see the benefits in purchasing it

Yes, if you exclude the lack of weather conditions. Surely that'll make any next-generation sequel.

Beautiful visuals; Hours and hours of content; Superb Handling; Excellent soundtrack

Micro-transactions abound

Forza Motorsports is Xbox 360's answer to the PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo series, and although Gran Turismo has been around for many more years, the developers behind the Forza franchise have managed to surpass its predecessor in every way imaginable in their newest release, Forza Horizon .

Unleash the advanced driving physics of Forza Motorsport 4 on a Test Drive Unlimited –style open-road environment, and you get Forza Horizon , a new spinoff from Microsoft's acclaimed racing series.

+ Enormous stable of responsive and tunable licensed cars; + Exceptional graphics with long draw distances

? Where are the real Colorado landmarks

I don't want to be Master Chief. I don't want to be Shepard, the Vault Dweller, or John Marston. Sure they're awesome and undeniably badass, but their existences are stressful, difficult and ultimately miserable.

A staggering amount of stuff to do; Multiplayer that features cat and mouse and infected modes; It looks gorgeous; sounds gorgeous and plays gorgeously

An inevitable dearth of content you'll have to buy later; Nighttime driving can be challenging at 200 mph; If you don't like Skrillex; you're sorta screwed

PlayGround Games delivers a new spin on the Forza franchise with pleasing results. Our full review.

+ Slick presentation; + Controls are great; + Tons of events to complete; + Visuals are superb

Track variety; Microtransactions litter the world

I've been trying to peg Forza Horizon since its announcement earlier this year, but Turn 10 and Playground Games never gave it to us straight. Is it more of a racing sim? Or a casual, arcade-style thing? Somewhere in-between?
