Forza Horizon (Xbox 360)

Possible the best game ever! The graphics for the time were amazing! and oh my the cut scene's they of course were just a video but they were spectacular! The game is still fresh today with the amazing multi player. The story/campaign was brilliant, the first mission with the VW Corrado was good showing off the graphics,cars and the festival! It slowly edged you into the massive world with a couple of qualifiers with low class cars which really helped you get a feel for the game and how the ai worked. After the qualifiers it is all up too you. You could just cruse the map or start entering races and going up the wristbands and when you do finally finish the story you get a big check for you to buy and customize cars! Talking of customizing the game has a lot to offer with every car available for upgrades. However I recommend not doing auto up grades and going through each part upgrading as your car will get higher spec. There is also allot DLC content. I mean ALLOT ranging from Transits to Lambo's, Hummers to Jag's luckily I purchased the season pass and got everything and had allot of fun.Talking of fun the multiplayer. It could of course do normal street races and point to point but the two most popular game modes were by far infected and free roam. Infected was a large area where all 11 people would set out and try not to get touched by the one infected car. If you were touched you stayed infected and went around with the other infected's and try to get everyone till 1 was left being crowned the winner. The lobby chats were certainly lively and I had allot of fun playing this with friends! Now free roam, where do I start. It was the most fun I have ever had! The lobby's are normally filled with youtubers recording cruse's or dragsters trying to see who has the fastest car. This was always fun and never got boring for me and even when it did you just drove round with your friends! The cars were transported from singleplayer so had all your customization even the the custom paint jobs but there was one downside. If you had some DLC and someone else saw your car it just came up as a fully blacked out BMW. There was also a radio in both game modes which was amazing played some bangers! There was actually 3 radio station's one for rock, one for pop and one amazing station for house/edm/dubstep. Some of the tunes they played were the tune to my summer!To sum this all up a amazing game combining music culture and car culture with an amazing out come! I am very sad that I now own a PlayStation 4 and didn't get the chance to play Horizon 2 or replay 1! But have slight hope as apparently the next Forza (Horizon 3) is on PC!

When this game came out it didn’t really introduce anything new that hasn’t been done before but where this game excels is how much better it was as a whole package with a variety of hundreds of cars to race and customise, plenty of races and fun challenges to complete, the open world was set in Colorado and was done to great detail with amazing graphics when it was released and still hold up well now. This is the first game in the horizon series and has got a lot better with the newer iterations.

This game is a spinoff format from the forza series, it is the same style as the project Gotham racing games where you drive around a map and have to race various events.The races are mainly street circuit racing with a few dirt tracks included, you also have the option of small head to head races for a few grand whenever you feel like toasting your newly tuned car and seeing if you can win other gamers cars or just the AI.I managed to get along with this even though I prefer more serious games such as the originals.

Not a bad game but disappointed the steering is inconsistent you can just spin off know matter how careful you are with the throttle and even with traction turned on which spoils the game. Graphics are very good though. Another thing I was disappointed with was the sound of the engine noises you just can't here them in most cars when in cockpit view. Very surprising because the sound in Forza 4 is Fantastic.. Again not very versatile with the gameplay. i.e. everyyhing fixed the amount of laps etc but that's just the same as with all the Forza games can't pick any track the amount of laps so on, funny nearly every other racing game lets you.

The game came on time, very happy with the condition of game and like the 'open world' feel of the gameplay. High quality rendering of the environment (just have to not expect everything to react on impact - by accident of course. Performance of vehicles is suitable to the power of the car. Cannot open doors, move windows up / down, but that said you do not miss these details. Have good rendered self "virtual driver".
