Rising petrol prices be damned. If you gave me a Lamborghini Aventador and beautiful open roads... well, first I'd tell you Mumbai potholes are the Aventador's Kryptonite, but then - forgive the cliché - it would be pedal to the metal.

Gorgeous visuals; Interesting events like racing hot air balloons; Cars are a pleasure to drive

Music gets old very soon

An exceptional open-world racer, burdened slightly by the series' heritage and all the expectations that the Forza brand brings.

Accomplished open-road direction; Loaded with charisma; Excellent portrayal of empowerment and freedom

Missing some signature Forza elements

Well well, I was slightly optimistic when I heard that Forza were doing a follow up to the first Forza Horizon. I was there thinking "There's no way it'll be as good as the first one" but it is, and some. The gameplay is incredible with fun races.

look and feel retains most of forza series with environment the biggest diff here. with imaginative roads, its impossible to play without using rewind since its really tough to memorise the road layout. on this account, horizon becomes less of forza and more of other arcade racers.

Its good games with good graphic but will be better if some action included like police chasing etc. But over all nice game. :-)

It's April, which means the release of another car pack for Forza Horizon. This month it's the ‘Top Gear Car Pack' featuring six new downloadable cars, all of which were handpicked by the Top Gear Magazine team and Turn 10 Studios developers.

The horizon expands. Ah, the open road, the wind carving around the body of the car like a slice of time, that tranquil spell between man, machine, and nature speeding past. It seems that for every commercial selling the sheer horsepower of a car powering around a racetrack, there are two more...

Turn 10 and Playground Games search out a new direction for the Forza series as we take to the open roads of Colorado.

+ Gorgeous graphics; + Lots of content; + Gravel roads and night racing; + Solid physics; + Great variation.

- Some poor design decisions; - Stereotypical characters; - A slight tendency for understeering

There are so many elements at play which make Forza Horizon so different from the most recent Forza outings. This isn't a replacement for Forza Motorsport by any means: it's an addition.

Graphics; variety; Festival is fun; soundtrack; lots of beautiful cars

Seems slightly sluggish in the early stages; the festival becomes slightly redundant; no real damage system in races

My son uses the game as much as we let him, very satisfied.

Challenging; Fun To Play; Good Audio; Graphics
