Critic Reviews for Forza Horizon 2
It's a racer informed by many others but, when it comes to open-world racing games, Forza Horizon 2 is best-in-class.
'Forza Horizon 2' has delivered an over the top, open world hit for the Xbox One.
It's going to be a busy season for racing games, with sim hopeful Project Cars, ambitious online "CarPG" The Crew and the social score-attack of DriveClub all jostling for attention. Horizon 2 sets an intimidatingly high bar for those games to meet on every front, but in one aspect it seems unbeatable. I can't imagine any of them are going to feel this happy.
By combining open-world thrills with simulation racing and letting you customize the experience to your liking, Forza Horizon 2 is an excellent entry in the series.
This sequel is a good showing for the series on the new system, but it won't blow your doors off
Forza Horizon 2's foundation is stronger than the underwhelming tracks built on top of it
