Forza Horizon 2 takes its gamers on a breath-taking road trip in a tiered series of car races where racing style is just as important as getting to the finish line first. Old-time gamers may remember the petrol-fueled delights of another racing series, the Project Gotham Racing Series, where the racer is given a cheeky type of fun.
Forza Horizon 2 is the PGR's spiritual successor. It is an amazingly polished racing game that is primarily built on the pedigree of the Forza stable. What makes it even more interesting is that it has been incorporated with a highly welcomed streak of exhibitionism.
Instead of the relatively sterile realism of stable-mate Forza Motorsport, the Forza Horizon 2 introduces a whole new type of racing fun to its racers and gamers. Burning rubber has never been this fun since PGR ruled the roads between Gran Turismo and Burnout.
The first version was a bit suffocated, and made relatively cheesy, by its Colorado festival background setting. Plus, to make matters worse, which, surprisingly, was found to be interesting back then when the game first came out, the festival was populated by highly annoying men.
Forza Horizon 2 will be taking its gamers to Europe and is bringing back the hipster shtick. Additionally, the soundtrack has already been revamped, to make the background music even more interesting and more suitable for the wild road trip.
Many of today's racing game fans have loudly suggested to get rid of the cliché faux-cool characters in the games' cut scenes. Although Forza Horizon 2 still has some relatively short of these characters who are shown setting up the race before it begins, it is nowhere as painful as the original or in the likes of Need for Speed.
Fortunately for Forza Horizon 2, and its gamers, any reservations immediately vanish as soon as the driver becomes in-charge behind the wheel. Gamers get to have that adrenaline rush in a blur of tire smoke and amazingly breath-taking scenery.
