Forza Horizon eschews the series' usual strict racing structure to deliver an open-world driving experience similar to some of the fundamentals experimented with by FUEL, albeit with significantly better execution...
Excellent presentation. Large open world with lots to see and do. Huge range of car customisation options. Highly adjustable difficulty and driving levels from arcade-style to simulation. Good variety of race events available. Enjoyable multiplayer.
"Story" seems like an afterthought. Plenty of inane dialogue.

It might look like Forza, it might handle like Forza, it might even say Forza on the box, but Forza Horizon isn't the usual Forza Motorsport affair. Instead, it's an interesting hybrid, combining the technical genius of Forza with the best bits of a Need...

Forza Horizon delivers the best of both worlds, with the handling of Forza married to the kind of action you'd find in Need for Speed. The cars are great to drive, the scenery is stunning, and there's a lot of variety to the on-road and off-road racing...

Forza Horizon takes the Forza franchise in a new direction, moving away from the very similar Forza Motorsport 3 and 4 of the past years, into an open world. You're no longer tied to familiar tracks: the world now becomes your oyster. For some, Forza...

Forza Horizon isn't your normal Forza game, which is obvious because it doesn't have a traditional numbered title. It's a spinoff with a focus on an open world racing. Sure, open world racing games aren't anything new. In fact, it's hard to pick a rand...
