Forza meets Need For Speed

Due to my experience playing previous versions of Forza, I expected this game to be more of the same. Namely, good graphics and realistic physics, just with different cars. Well, they nailed one of them. Surprisingly, it is the graphics. The scenery and the cars are beautiful in this game. The physics remind me of those in games like Need For Speed or GRID, which I'd consider marginally realistic, at best. It's basically comical how fast you can take corners in this game. Other than that, I really enjoyed playing this game. If you enjoy games similar to Forza, like Need for Speed or GRID or DIRT, you'll enjoy playing this game as well. If you're looking for "the most realistic driving simulation", as is Forza's namesake, I'd suggest a different title.

Pedal to the Metal - Exhilarating Racing Game

If you've always wanted to race through the countryside in a legendary car without danger to yourself or others (or getting a ticket), then this is the game for you. Forza has always made the best racing games and if you don't want to fork out the money for a new XBox One to get the latest Forza racing release (only plays on XBox One), this will more than fill the bill. Oh, did I mention hot babes, great graphics, exciting, competitive racing, breathtaking scenery, and a chance to score point by blowing through a speed trap at record speeds. Buy Forza Horizon and put the pedal to the metal!

If you like driving games, this one is a GREAT choice. The Forza collection is realistic and gives you lots of courses to drive and get extra cars.

I've been a long time Gran Turismo & PlayStation fan since the beginning, and have recently got into the XBox & Forza games. I'd highly recommend this game to any racing fan. I also signed up for the Best Buy Gamers Club and enjoying the benefits of 20% off new game purchases.

This is a great racing game! It may not be as much of a simulation as Forza Motorsport 4, but the free roaming aspect and the ability to drive on dirt make this game an excellent addition to the Forza series.

I have mainly been a Gran Turismo in the past but recently was introduced to Forza 5 and lived it. Now that I've played Horizon 2, I'm totally hooked. Open world, off road, circuit, sprint and cross country races; its got something for everyone. There may be less than half the cars of GT6, But they're mainly all fun (as opposed to a good portion of that other games garage).
I will say that the music selection in the game is not great. Sure there are 7 radio stations but 6 of them are variations of electronica and the other is classical.
