The original Forza Horizon was a surprise hit when it came out in 2012. Using the racing mechanics of Forza Motorsport as a foundation, Horizon moved the racing from the race track to the streets for an experience akin to Electronic Arts' Need for Speed series.

Interesting new setting; larger than before; Lots of cars and races to choose from

Online AI driver functionality remains forgettable; Numerous functions limited to online

We were allowed to actually run this review last week when embargo lifted, but something kept getting in the way of us publishing it -- I was stuck in the bloody driver's seat and couldn't steer myself away. Forza Horizon 2 is fantastic.

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 sees Playground Games take Turn 10's hallowed franchise out on to the open road once again. Nik Hardy buckles up to bring you the verdict.

Gorgeous; huge; fun

A sometimes-wonky GPS; a terrible soundtrack; no split-screen multiplayer

Game is a five star but the price surely is not. Digital copy costs you around 2400 rs. And bo hassle to change disks. Plus reliance jio gives you free internet so it is easy to download. If you don't have jio sim ask some friend to setup hotspot for you and you're good to go.

Positives Stunning graphics; detailed car models; perfect mix of arcade and sim racing; great social elements; endless supply of content

Negatives Random load-time delays

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

When the original Horizon released two years ago, Playground Games took the in-depth Forza handling, customization, and community features and broke away from the constrained circuits to create an open-world with street races, dirt tracks and more.
