"We apologise if the following reads like unmitigated hyperbole, but there’s just no getting around it: Forza Horizon 2 is one of the best racing games ever made."

Defendaaaarrrrrr

Only 5 showcase events...

No big deal... Its scripted like in H1 ^^

You win the Demo event with a 2.07 and also when driving a 2.40...


Btw:

Reviews confirm active telemetry and random rewards of cash or cars for level up. Me am happy bunny.

They also confirm the game is awesome.

 

[Brend]

Man, this looks amazing. The visuals, the sounds and the handling.

I cannot stand the Menus though, same with Forza 5.

 

[DurWinning]

Nothing much here. However it does show 1 barn find.

EDIT: Make that 3 barn finds.

Yep you can also view telemetry in the demo, just hold down on the digi pad for a few seconds.

Ok, I didn't know that it was scripted. 👍

So if like me you haven't got an X1 and want one badly to play this then in-case you haven't heard Microsoft have given the X1 another price drop in the UK (there is a thread about it if you want more info), it is now £329 without the Kinect and you can get that with Forza Horizon 2 for that price at Zavvi or at Amazon with the Day One Edition for a more expensive but still reasonable 349.85, I tried GAME but no bundle deals with FH2 yet..

Only 5 days left!

For you. Still a week for Europeans

I hope that capri doesn't take too long to get, it's sharing the throne with the fulvia for the car I want to drive most.

I'm sure it won't be too hard to get. I mean, it isn't a barn find right? If not, then I would guess that it won't take more than a couple races if you truly want one.

It'll definately be one of the first cars I buy in Horizon, alongside a few other Fords. XD

A week for you. It's X-Mas for me.

Yup, waiting for this game is like waiting for Christmas. 👍
I did read the post where you said you'll only get on Christmas day, however. Well, best wishes for you. ^^

Thanks for the links. The X360 review link is broken though.

Edit: Never mind. I searched the website and found it.

 

[Spagetti69]

Reviewers in general just confirming what we already knew.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh, I just watched the "5 New Cars You Must Drive" video. Aw man, the Capri is a barn find.
I was hoping that I could just buy it immediately.

Same here. The worst thing is that it's a late barn find meaning you're going to wait awhile until you can get it.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I know it's more likely that Horizon 2 on the 360 will just have a smilar car list as the xOne version, but I still kinda wish that Horizon 2 would keep the cars in Horizon 1.

 

[DurWinning]

Here's one showing the cars, upgrades, and paint. This also shows the prices for the cars. (Please note this video doesn't contain any barn find cars.)

Thanks for the post. I will now worship you

No problem.

I would also like to point out that another video by the same person has confirmed that their is only 5 showcase events.

 

[ImaRobot]

There's a boatload of HRE rims.

I don't think too many of us are setting our expectations too high. H2 is an improvement over H1 but its still a fairly small map and very limited game. Will be interesting to see what they do with dlc. But again, I don't have my expectations too high. I expect to have fun and that's my main focus. I am also so happy they included dynamic weather.
