Forza Horizon excited me from the beginning and moving to nearly eight hours of play, the first conclusion:
Man may be divided over the entire event banter or consider it a "Underground" -Abklatsch but the fact is the atmosphere that attracts This creates a formally under the spell. Although the story of the underdog who wants to clean up the field from behind is not new, but well staged. A little story and the individual opponents break up the otherwise varied racing and provide one or the other laughs. Anyway, the story comes across as a better example in "Test Drive Unlimited 2".
Comparing the two games could cherish even when the size of the game worlds. But the fact that FH with only about one-tenth of TDU2 Hawaii Island is comparable, lagging This. Who now thinks that was negative but is mistaken. In FH everything looks more detailed and vivid than in TDU2. Whether it is the playlist of the three radio stations including complete German synchronization, the landscape with mountains, cities, deserts and forests, the countless fans who are in the closet edge, the traffic or the day / night change (unfortunately without precipitation). Everything looks very authentic here.
In terms of driving physics, everything is actually said by the previous speakers. Horizon is not Forza Motorsport but if you want a "spin-off". Physics somewhat arcade-heavy but never like on rails. The fleet is also in order. From 60s Mini Cooper to Bugatti Veyron's all there, though only about one third of the fleet of FM4. Personally, I would have one or the other law enforcers have liked in the game even at the roadside.
But I am opposed to the DLC-stitch. However, I do not believe to have this included in the assessment. Man can live with what the basic game offers a. When FM4 I needed no additional cars, because they had so little already Gelegnheit to drive everything (except Porsche but only because I am an absolute fan of the brand).
Ultimately, Forza Horizon is an all-round entertaining racing game, which carries the flair some old NFS titles with them.
