Forza Horizon - where dreams go to learn

-> Story
It all starts, that one with a ViperŽ13 the Horizon Champion Darius Flint "hunts", as it did in the demo, only looks the end a little different. After that one should grab even one of the last places for the festival, so you have to rush to the Horizon Festival with a VW Corrado. This is followed by the qualifying and everything is a little explaining. This gives a bracelet and is logged. From the story here is all about the place findene in Colorado Horizon Festival is a paradise for car enthusiasts. By completing circuit race you collect, depending on the placement of points and credits. Has accordingly the required points collected rises to you and you get a bracelet in a new color and a success. Besides a so-called still show races are offered where you can compete against a hot-air balloon, helicopter or airplane. You drive to a groomed for the race race car which you can keep for a win. Need to come to this show race to ascend in popularity list. You start with space 200 and has to jump through, drift, overtake cleanly, or other things to the front work. You get daszu points. At a certain popularity rank the Horizon manager talks to you and says where the race starts. By the way you can also attend road race. Which differ nevertheless fundamentally different from the circuit racing, as these take place in broad daylight, with no barriers and Vekehr. After a little herrumfahren also one that a barn find was said through the headset detected. To a larger area is to find these gray makiert by the barn is somewhere. In the barns are Classic cars that need to be restored. This geschiet by the local mechanic. The story is very varied by the change from stage race (race shop), road racing and circuit racing. My tip: Do not play out the whole story in 10 hours but also trip online in the open air driving and absoviert race. In sogennaten Horizon Outposts (outpost), you can still complete PR actions.

---> Graphics
Graphically, the game at the maximum that you can get out of the Xbox yet. The change between day and night looks gorgeous. The atmosphere is truly unique. Something can only be found in very few games. The cars can be compared with the Forza 4 and the intermediate scenes are extremely well done. Grafikfehler one searches in vain. Nevertheless, I have a discovered where suddenly the whole hard shoulder, shone on a country road near the dam, in rainbow colors. This did, however, limited and has not occurred to date again. The rain and the weather generally is missing but still.

---> OpenWorld
The world is not only, such as in NFS Hot Pursuit, from the left to the right guardrail, but is very open. The world is quite large and has 216 streets, is beautifully designed. Almost every street looks from covering her differently from, and runs not only string grade but is very marked with bumps. It has different spots, such as an old factory, warehouse district, dam or geysers. It also has a highway where you can impoverish his new sled next to the highways. At the Open World I would like to add the music game: There are three radio stations: Bass Arena (Drum and Bass, House, Electro), Pulse ("normal music"), Rocks (rock music). Each radio station has good 10 tracks, mixed with old and new tracks, and said Ehlich, it is the first game where I like the music really well.

---> Fleet
In fleet are about 200 cars with no add-ons. From small MiniŽs to Saleen S7 everything is verteten. Some cars are nowhere that should come into the game but it does not have "made it". All cars are hochdetalliert, and can tune like in Forza 4, only the fine tuning (axis ferrying Tung etc ...) has been removed. The sounds of motors are made absolutely do great. You can hear the difference when incorporating a turbocharger or other tuning parts attaching. But even so, any car sounds different.

---> Drivability
The ride is all Forza. As realistic as Forza 4 is not yet. It has a splash Acarde with this, as otherwise you might go to nearly 400 km / h on a country road. ;) But it's really fun. One immediately notices the difference between all-wheel, front-wheel, rear-wheel drive or asphalt and dirt. Just awesome.

---> Multiplayer
One may as well already stated above, use the Free travel and have fun with his friends. In addition there are a few Spielmodie:
-Rundstreckenrennen
-Straßenrennen
-Etappenrennen (Without Heli, ...)
-Katz And mouse
-King
If you have completed a race you get points that help one to rise in multiplayer ranking. If you went up a level, you have to bag the chance a credit reward or a car. The higher the level, the more happiness. In Free Ride mode, you can also complete the challenges you can undertake with friends.

-> Conclusion
The game is a very successful open world racing game with the touch Forza Feeling. I would recommend it to anyone. It includes all that I had imagined. A Forza Smulations game at OpenWorld base.
