Forza Horizon

honkyjesus's Forza Horizon (Xbox 360) review

Easy Achievements, decent rental

The problem with the game is not it trying to be something that it is not. The problem is what it is, and what it tries to be.

From the get-go, you are starting off going up against black stereotype #2. Then you go against the nerd. Then the Arab prince. Then the valley girl.

You drive around in a desolate wasteland, completely barred from anything fun happening as your surroundings can't be reached. You can have fun by running into speed signs and then drift to earn Kudos, err, Microsoft Points? There is a pay to use fast travel system to some degree. I have no idea what game people are playing, this isn't just a bad arcade racer... it is a sad racer that hopes to be a product.

Enjoy the $50 day one season pass for crap they didn't want to put in the game. Enjoy the humor of Jersey Shore mixed with the racing style of Dirt For Speed.

Crazy.

Like any good video game, it does contextualize why you're racing thr...

Yes, don't be stupid. What kinda question is that? Forza Horizon is pretty much the same game all you Forza fans know and love except with a more arcade style control system. Now don't you fret, you can go back to the simulation style Forza is know for, with an added bonus of a bigger reward percentage for the added difficulty. However, for the average racing enthusiast, you can look forward to a Burnout Paradise feel without the crazy crashing. Based in a made-up city in lovely Colorado, Forza ...
