It's hard to find negative things to write about Forza Horizon. It certainly is a different experience compared to Forza Motorsport 4, but that doesn't mean it's not as good. The spotless presentation and the enormous amount of things to do makes this one of the finest racing games I've ever played.
It would be a mistake to treat Horizon as just a spin-off of Forza because it's an excellent game with its own personality and great ideas.

Horizon represents a successful attempt to morph the notorious racing game into a street racer that could define a new future for the Forza Motorsport franchise.
Playground Games took a humungous, beautiful world, packed it full of entertaining challenges and events, added in tons of personality and style, and built it all around the proven Forza tech, giving racing game fans an exceptional automotive experience that they didn't even know they wanted. For as much as I love Forza Motorsport, it's going to be hard to go back after this.
Forza Horizon is a good first effort at an open world racer for the series, but it's not quite top-tier in the category yet. A decent story would be a good place to start.
It will be interesting to see how Forza Horizon fares against Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Criterion's new open world racer that is out next month. But in the absence of that review, it is clear that Playground Games has seriously raised the bar in all areas for the non-linear racing genre with Forza Horizon, and others will now have to play catchup.
Horizon's accessibility gives way to a lack of foresight. Its open world feels empty, its economic model is questionable, and its armada of cars are powerless against arbitrary AI escalation. Forza Horizon has more flash than its predecessors, but it's hollow by comparison.
O melhor jogo de corrida de xbox 360 gráficos extremamente realistas gameplay extremamente satisfatória um mundo aberto cheio de coisas para fazer muito bem feito na minha opinião melhor jogo de corrida que eu já joguei

The first **** series of racing games. However, especially in hindsight, the setting is lacklustre.

Why does this game have so many good reviews. This game isn't even really made by Turn 10. It's boring, repetitive. I was hoping for a realistic open world racer and that's not what I got.

Comment traîner une licence renommée dans la boue arcadisante ? en faire une codemasterie par exemple... à cet égard la présentation kikoolol insupportable qui prend le joueur pour un débile, ce tutoiement permanent, cette "mise en scène" à deux balles laissent une très mauvaise impression.
Ainsi, à côté de cet Horizon (bien sombre) les Forza Motorsport sont des parangons de réalisme automobile. C'est bien simple, toutes aides désactivées, on se croirait (presque) dans un Need For Speed (insulte suprême) ou dans un Ridge Racer (quelle humiliation). Alors avec les aides, on imagine même pas... ce n'est rien moins qu'une trahison.
Cela étant, FH ne s'avère pas entièrement désagréable une fois que l'on a fait le deuil de tout ce que la licence Forza implique et se révèle presque "amusant" à petites doses...
Si le jeu est très beau, il a perdu au passage ses 60 im/s... et tout cela pour se promener sur des routes bien vides qui manquent singulièrement de circulation ; les dites routes sont d'ailleurs bordées de barrières infranchissables. On a gagné au passage un cycle jour/nuit réussi mais toujours pas la moindre pluie... à l'horizon. En outre, ce monde ouvert se révèle à la longue assez chiant puisqu'il impose des allers et retours incessants pour farmer la moultitude de courses proposées.
Cependant, son mode multi-joueurs aux collisions très arcades est un avantage inattendu puisque l'absence d'inertie ambulatoire empêche les kévins ambulants (très nombreux) de vous bourrer dans les rails de sécurité, car les caisses savent rester de marbre !
Ainsi, si les Forza Motorsport sont des mets de fins gourmets, les Forza Horizon sont une malbouffe plus ou moins comestible.

a game that should have gone under a different name, because of the Forza title I am holding it upto Forza standards, giant lack of cars on game release makes it massively lacking in the variety area compared to earlier games given massive amounts of car packs but who wants to spend more then the inital 60 when previous titles already contained more. Also game contains the Bugatti. Any game that has that car without actual full blown race cars in it is ruined in my opinion, nothing can match its speed and pretty much your goal is to just get that car because once its in your possession you have the best car in the game. Lack of customization is also a issue, previous titles had much more in-depth customization that I don't feel should have been left out. This game is not a true forza game instead a cheap knock off and I do feel it can be called a knock off since its put under the Exact same title. Would be a 7 of 10 instead if it wasn't just riding the True forzas fame to get sales on a wanna be
