Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox One

Bueno

Over the years I have been a big fan of racing games. I played anything from original Need For Speed on Playstation to DIRT 3 on xbox 360. So fart DIRT was my favorite. I wasn't a big fan of the original Forza games but this one is amazing. Very well done sandbox type of a game with free roaming (sort of like GTA). The racing events are a lot of FUN and are made for every class you can think of - supercars, rally, off-road trucks, etc.You can buy and upgrade cars which in itself is satisfying. There are many other challenges such as bucket lists, hidden cars, etc. MOREOVER you can just drive around, pull up to another race and just race someone you ran in to.... damn game never gets old.I love the physics of the game, it is a compelling simulation but not too hard or frustrating like previous Forza games. There is a rewind button if you make a mistake. Going off road or cutting corners is not heavily penalized like some other games! (In DIRT there were always some rocks put at every turn so if you try to cut the corner, you car would get stuck)The upgrades and different car handling/power are well represented. So if you go crazy on engine upgrades for power and don't address the handling - the car becomes very unstable and you better go easy on the the throttle. This is not one of the game where you just max the gas pedal and scream thru every turn. You have to use your brake, hand brake and throttle judiciously depending on the car and surface you are driving on.Some missions are actually very hard but there are so fan to do I don't mind replying them until I get it right. I rarely do in other games where things become mundane and frustrating. Also everyvery time you switch or upgrade a car you have adjust your driving skill- which makes more realistic.The soundtrack on this game is also amazing. Chromeo, Royal Blood, etc - all the hottest and underground music is on there!If you have any interest in racing - YOU GOT TO GET THIS GAME ! You won't regret it.

muy buen juego esta espectacularpero les falta meterle mas contenido sin pagar por el eso de meter carros que compren no tiene mucho chiste

Let me preface my review by saying that this is a driving game, not a racing game. If you're expecting Forza 6-like physics and the kind of driving precision that makes you want to use a wheel, then you need to get a different game. Like, say, Forza 6. But if, like me, you like open world environments and a more casual driving experience that will allow you to just kick back and enjoy a few hours of largely mindless fun in a variety of really well-rendered, unique, and interesting cars, then you're probably going to like this game. It reminds me a bit of the original Test Drive in all the ways that made me love that game.The whole Horizon Festival setup seems a bit cheesy, but the events are mostly fun and there is a good variety of them. There are also cars galore, from pedestrian grocery getters to exotic supercars, so there's bound to be something (or several somethings) that will hold your interest. I realize games like this aren't for everyone, but if the concept sounds interesting or you liked Test Drive, I suggest you give it a go.One other note: Beware the DLCs. They aren't bad; in fact, some of them have some very nice content. I did feel the big car pack and a couple of the other small car packs I purchased were a little steep for what you get, however, and I'd suggest getting them on sale if you can.

This is a really good game. I purchased the game after I accidentally purchased all of the add-on content through the XBox Live Store. I had played the Forza 5 title prior to this, but this is a very different game in a lot of ways.The Good:- Large selection of cars (especially with the add-on content)- Ability to customize the cars look and performance characteristics- Open Game World -- if you don't feel like racing, there is still plenty to do- Multiple Race Events and Types- Seamless transition between offline/online play- Assists and difficulty settings allow my 11 and 9 year olds to play successfully while still providing a challenge for me- The ability to "pose" your car and take photos that are uploaded to forza's servers- Free spins unlocking either in-game credits or free carsThe Not So Good:- Drivatars have no concern for damage and will ram your car, breaking up a good line or causing you to spin out- Drivatars in offline mode have an unusual ability to take turns at speeds that cause your car to spin out or lose the line- Drivatars can totally miss checkpoints and continue racing without penalty- No matter how well you are doing in an offline road trip, you always start in position 8- Cross country events are next to impossible to win in some events, often because of the above mentioned items- Online races tend to lack any punishment for intentional griefers, so you will often get rammed as you slow to take a corner- Infected and King events only further encourage ramming and hitting an opponent- Online road trips tend to be focused on A, S1 and S2 classes with any other class being very rare- Graphics are grainy in some cases, causing pixelation on what should be sharp lines in the liveries.- Random crashes or lock ups- The occasional stutter or lag while in the middle of an eventLet me explain a few of the cons a little more in detail.Online griefing is a real problem in this game. Forget the idea of "clean" racing as it simply isn't rewarded enough. Yes, there are penalties but the penalties for ramming another player are simply losing skill points. Both players involved in the accident are penalized -- so if you are running a clean line, slowing to take a corner and get rammed, you lose out on those 8,000 skill points with a 4x multiplier. Not only are you now challenged to reclaim any lost positions -- you were penalized simply because you were in front of the person who decided ramming you was a better option than trying to take the corner.Drivatars are an interesting idea and they seem to be better implemented in Forza 5. It is great to see people from your friends list in your races, and getting rewards for your drivatar's participation in others events is nice. However, in this game the drivatar is worse than a bull in a china shop. They have no regard for damaging others, have an uncanny ability to take corners while not suffering from the same physics your car suffers from and can totally miss checkpoints without any penalties. Added to this problem is the fact you always start well in the middle of the pack -- so you are forced to battle through the worst of these drivatars in order to have a decent race.Online road trips allow voting for the next location. There are three locations displayed and everyone gets to vote. However, most of the choices are between A, S1 and S2 classes. On the rare occasion, you might see a B or a C event -- but now you are at the mercy of those voting which often tends to go to the highest class presented. It would be nice if the system presented a single class, just different locations from time to time forcing players to bring out their D, C and B class cars more often.
