Re: Forza Horizon 2 Available Now For Xbox One and Xbox 360, Post Your Impressions

I'm surprised how much offroad there is actually. There's some off road in almost every 4 race championship as far as I can recall. I really do enjoy it, sometimes it can be a bit frustrating though as I take my Huracan through grape vines, shrubs and hills, but it does make for alot of fun trying to control some of these beastly cars through that type of terrain. I'd rather they have just left that stuff to the off road type vehicles, but I'm sure if they did, I'd probably wish I had the ability to drive other vehicles on those routes too.

Even though it's in at least once in each championship, some times its for a very short segment leaving the course split about 90% roadways, 10% off road. Sometimes its mixed in there just to keep you paying attention.

I could not stop playing this yesterday. Wife was out for the day and I must have put a good 6 hours in yesterday. Probably about 12 or more this weekend too. So addicting, there's so much to do as you play.

My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint I guess, just a preference thing... I did prefer the last games layout a bit better though. Where each wristband would open up 15-20 events or whatever rather than this one's idea of driving to a location, having to pick a class, then race the championship of only 4 races, then drive on to the next location. It gets a bit too scripted to me. I'd rather just drive around, show up to an event, run it with whatever class car I need to, then move on to the next wherever that may be, as opposed to showing up in town, picking a car/class, running the 4 mandatory events, then moving on. Just feels a little too repetitive to me from a flow standpoint.

Ripping up the golf course, flying through and around the warehouse district, and shipping yard are a blast though, and don't forget the pure speed of just flying down the runway at the airport, or absolutely flying down the highway/freeway portion weaving in and out of traffic well over 325 kph. Just awesome!
