Shut up and drive.

+ Open World setting; + Diverse events; + Free roam multiplayer; + Looks great; + You race freakin' fighter jets

- AI traffic isn't great; - Xbox 360 version is pointless

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is a lean tie-in that at least provides some great-looking new cars, a boost of nitrous, and a short but appropriately themed set of races. It's fun while it lasts, but it's also proved to be disappointingly built around recycled maps and events.

Fantastic new cars; Great for new racers; Heavenly handling remains intact

Recycled content from FH2; Short; with fewer regular Forza features

I played this game once at my friends house and I loved it, especially the free play. After that, I loved Forza and got Forza 6 Motorsport. I'm looking forward to seeing how good horizon 3 is

I'm am one of the people that likes to play first person shooters like halo, call of duty, battefiels etc. But when my friend nagged me to try this with him I thought why not. I fell in love with this game. It is so much fun.

Got it for free while it waas on offer to claim for free. i really enjoyed it and it was quite good to play through but once your done, i cant see much to go back for, but hey its a EASY 1000 gamerscore

Forza Horizon 2 ($59.99) is the Xbox One 's first major must-have title. Microsoft's answer to PlayStation's Gran Turismo series cuts its own path through a fenced backyard into the lane between the simulation and arcade genres.

Gorgeous 1080p/30fps graphics; Huge open world; Great music; Tons of cars, content, and customization options

Long load times; Steep learning curve; Finicky Kinect voice controls

Some guy is standing next to my Lexus LFA at the end of my racing triumph. He doesn't seem to be as excited as I am, even though he apparently represents me. He's the generic guy behind the wheel, the catatonic crash-test dummy whose presence at the end of every championship win mystifies me.

Festival atmosphere is easy to get swept up in; Wide variety of cars that require finesse and skill to master; Online road trips can be a hoot; Gleeful showcase races

Unnecessary perks system; Environmental obstacles can put the brakes on

By combining open-world thrills with simulation racing and letting you customize the experience to your liking, Forza Horizon 2 is an excellent entry in the series.

Southern Europe is gorgeous in game; Driving is constantly exciting; Experience is hugely customizable

Eventually runs out of new stuff; Story is ludicrous

Forza Horizon 2 is a great racing game for the people who aren't into the realism present in Forza Motorsport 5 , but the best part of all is likely just driving as fast as you can off-road. It's just a shame there isn't more to do out there.

Driving across country is fun; racing is less punishing for less seasoned players

Open world could use more variety; not all that much to find while exploring

Forza Horizon 2 is taking racing fans some places the series has never gone before: off the track, through the rain, and around the diverse landscapes of Southern Europe.
