Rally Adventure is grounded expansion. Those aren’t typically my favorite in the Horizon series, but this one is the exception. I’m still not a huge fan of the chatter from the NPCs but every other part of this expansion is top-notch. If you love the base game, this is more of it in a better-than-ever package.
Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure brings a similar energy to the one that Dirt 2 had in the past. It's all about the atmosphere and pure joy of driving. It proves the timeless fun of the base game, but the length of the main campaign and the variability of the content are its weaker points. In addition, it also brings a lot of great improvements that will be enjoyed not only by expansion players, but also by those playing the base game.
Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure is not only a love letter to the actual motorsport but also the video games that have paved the way and inspired series like Horizon. It might not be what everyone was necessarily wanting from the second and likely final expansion for FH5, but the driving experience here is fun from start to finish and remains the core focus - with dirt roads and tracks that will keep you on the edge of your seat with all sorts of bumps and surprises along the way. It’s well worth your time if you’re looking for more adventures in the land of Horizon.
The Rally Adventure expansion is not a bad way to close the chapter on Forza Horizon 5. It’s definitely not as epic as the Hot Wheels expansion was. However, it brings with it a pretty significant new area, new vehicles, and a new variation on racing that the Forza Horizon 5 hasn’t fully explored before. The price of admission isn’t too pricey, so if you’re still engaged in Forza Horizon 5, or looking for a reason to jump back in, the Rally Adventure expansion isn’t a bad investment.
Rally Adventure may shine when it comes to visuals and pure entertainment, but as an expansion pack for the glorious Forza Horizon 5, you’d expect a much more comprehensive package. The substandard design of the roads and the nonexistence of official Rally rules are the main reasons why Rally Adventure is far behind the competition and it seems that Playground’s new policy is dragging the Forza series into a repetitive cycle.
It is great to be back in Forza Horizon 5, but Rally Adventure fell short to meet expectations because a clearly lack of personality. It is not bad as an expansion, but is not great.
The Rally Raid maintains the consistent performance of the Horizon series and aims to emulate rally racing through its weather, handling, and track design, providing an outstanding racing experience. However, beyond the racing experience, this DLC falls flat. The absence of distinctive scenery and insufficiently detailed roadbook creates a disappointing impression from the outset. Additionally, the lack of authenticity in the racing culture and the lacklustre storyline of subsequent events are unacceptable.
Al contrario que con el Dlc de Hot wheels y como fan de los rallyes este dlc no me ha sorprendido tanto.
Es un buen Dlc pero queda algo corto en mapeado y originalidad sintiéndose como contenido igual al del juego original. No es un mal añadido y es muy disfrutable pero esperaba algo mas.
Otro punto negativo es por el Helicóptero que al menos a día de hoy no se puede desactivar y molesta muchísimo por el polvo que levanta y por el ruido que hace.
Rally Adventures is an expansion that gamers have been waiting almost 1 year for...With a reveal made on social networks at the end of February, the new Forza --Horizon 5 expansion hasn't benefited from a communication campaign from Xbox or Playground Games... This gives an impression of: "We're giving you this because you've been waiting for it, but without much ambition...".
-Ambition is precisely what this DLC lacks in certain respects... Particularly in the Rally aspect, which we find very little of, on rare cars and rare races... It's not Rally Simulation, and the aim was to introduce Rally to the general public, BUT I would have appreciated a little more risk-taking, with new types of races for example. However, I did find the Rally aspect in Solo mode, as we compete against drivevatars according to their lap times, unlike in co-op, where it's just lambda races with a stopwatch.
-The Open World of this DLC doesn't bother us that much... It lends itself quite well to the Rally spirit in Mexico... But then again, very few races exploit it to any great extent. Speaking of races...
The famous Boss races against Alex and Alenjandra are classic races, and I can see the point of not doing event races like in the old Forza games (with a train, planes and motorcycles passing by), but why didn't Playground Games make original, rally-style races with shortcuts to take and things to spice up the rally? Small disclaimer for Ramiro's races (Grid Riper) which really have that rally aspect, especially in the boss races and the famous last race.
In conclusion: Rally Adventures is not a bad DLC
in ****'s a good continuation of Forza Horizon 5 with a touch of Rally for people who like to customize their cars. Some will find it disappointing, but I had a lot of fun with this DLC, even if it wasn't part of the HISTORY of Forza Horizon.
Rally races are somewhat okay, but the copilot instructions are absolutely terrible (preferring to tell you about chickens rather than the hairpin that is right behind them), there is a helicopter constantly blowing sand into your vision and the final race that you have to do regular mostly asphalt races to do to qualify? Of course it's a cross country race in buggies... Then there are bugs like every rally that starts on an incline starts me in reverse gear and my first upshift is always ignored, have to double tap to get to second gear. This is a disgrace.
To get a ""rally'' experience with big ford trucks and open wide tracks that only run for 3 minutes, instead of actual rally cars and dangerous narrow stages is very disappointing. Again, in true Forza style, driving to get the races takes more time than the actual races. And each run time don't add up as it should in rally style. It just doesn't feel like a proper expansion because it doesn't change any rule from the core game. The pace notes implementation is silly and useless, people quickly favor the race lines over it.
So if you know anything at all from rally or played even the likes of Dirt before, avoid.
