At first I was Forza Horizon set against still skeptical and anxious to see if the concept works. So far, the Forza series was finally known only as racing Simualtion. Forza Horizon is new Wage. The title combines the best elements of an arcade open-world racer and a race simulation. Although I would anticipate ever that the cars drive not nearly as realistic as in FM4.

Forza Horizon is located in a virtual Colorado. Your goal is to win that Horizon Festival and to allow 249 driver behind you. For this is a challenging Career Mode. You take part in more than 130 different festival race series. If you come in every race in the top 3, you are allowed at the end of the series to compete against the best drivers. Defeat your this, you waving next to a cash reward even his car. So you can first go from race to race, without having to buy you a new car. Yes, to the race you have to willy-nilly go. Shelby In the really beautiful and believable designed game world your other Horizon participants can challenge to a duel, 9 Automobile Classic (including Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, Jaguar D-Type,: However, you will not soon get bored on your tours through the extensive Colorado Daytona, Mercedes SL300 Gullwing, BMW M1, Bugatti EB110, Aston Martin DB5) found in barns or destroy 100 discount signs the workshop. By the latter you get per damaged shield 1% rebate on all tuning parts. In addition, you can score points by spectacular driving maneuvers (drifts, U-turns, tight overtaking, etc.), increased by your standings. Have you reached a certain level Beliebtheits, you are invited to sponsor races where you can win a car also in addition to money. In your first sponsors races You are stepping into a Ford Mustang Boss 427 against an aircraft to, or drive a Corvette against a helicopter. In übrgigen you waving here including the Lamborghini Aventatdor and the Aston Martin One-77th Later on you can join car clubs and thus to participate in well-paid road race. A change is required in any case. There are also another 10 fast travel points. If you create the local rather simple challenges, you can free between regions jump back and forth, instead of having the tweilweise wide distances between the drive Events

What I find a bit of a shame, is the rather short career mode. After about 12-15 hours I Darius Flynt Ferrari 599XX can put in my garage and the 5,000,000.00 Cr (+ bonuses) collected Final prize money. Well I still have to drive numerous races and still more than 70 cars that I could buy. But it would be nice if there were more incentives, after the last, good 10 minute final race offline continue to play. What is also striking a little negative that repeats several races, despite the large game world.

Racing game for beginners and professionals are in any case well served because of difficulty can be, Forza-typical change to the very last detail. However, acting on the money bonus at the end of the race positive / negative.

The fleet can also be seen. This is true with nearly 200 cars (130 in the game, the rest there via download), compared to Forza 4, has been more than halved but the number of bodies is still insufficient. If you consider going the other arcade racer made by EA or Atari with only 40-50 cars at the start, 130 (-200) vehicles really a lot. From overpriced classics, from the house of Ferrari, Japanese tuners, about Mini Cooper, the 2013 Ford Focus ST 2013 BMW M6, 2013 Dogde Viper 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Aston Martin One-77, DB12 Zagato, Eagle E-Type Speedster up to superbikes like the Lamborghini Aventador, Reventon Spider, Sesto Elemento, Ferrari 458 Spider, 599XX, Koenigsegg CC-R, Agera, Pagani Zonda R, Huayra, Hennessy Venom GT or the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, and more, what your heart desires. Who incidentally installed Forza Horizon on the hard disk, can import his FM4-Score and is with 10 bonus cars (including Gumpert Apollo, Lamborghini Aventador, Jaguar XK-RS, BMW M3) rewarded. Of course, every car has in addition 4 different outside perspectives again a detailed cockpit view on board. In the night driving the valves and various control buttons also are illuminated.

The driveability of the car has unfortunately become quite arcade-heavy. Although rock muscle cars such as the Ford Mustang Boss 427 or the Chevy Camaro in the corners and tend to break, all-wheel-drive cars like the Lamborghini Aventator stick for my taste but a little too much on the road. The same applies, however, even for super sports cars such as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport or the Koenigsegg CCX-R. Anyway Forza Horizon offers a very balanced mixture and therefore can not be labeled as a pure arcade racer, because in spite of everything you do not, how can boards through narrow curves in other arcade racers of 160 km / h. When driveability the driving aids is disabled; something authentic, but does not come close to the Forza Motorsport series.

Technically Forza Horizon is his brother Forza Motorsport 4 in every way. The cars all look fabulous and also the ambient graphics, along with civil transport (also licensed cars) is impressive absolutely. The various types of landscapes, such as forests, mountains, canyons or cities to benefit nicely staged by the graphics engine from Forza Motorsport 4. True, the day and night cycle and the associated light-effects. The vision is enormous. In addition, the game runs smoothly, without stuttering and even the sense of speed is great. Pop-ups or gross Graphic mistake I could not make out so far.

The sound also leaves nothing to be desired. The engines roar powerfully out of the boxes and the 65 licensed songs from the fields of Rock, Alternative, Dance, Dubstep and Hip Hop also come across well. These were the way on 3 radio station and the DJ's will keep you always up to date when it comes to different events. The German dubbing is partially quite succeeded (DJ's), some sound speakers a little listless (opponents). A bit annoying are the partially repeated and sometimes even inappropriate speech samples.

Conclusion: Forza Horizon definitely makes a lot of fun! Whether in the race or in the free ride, the game extremely motivated to continue playing. There is much to discover and to be switched off. From the outset, raises again the passion for collecting. I can any racing game fan, it was really recommend simulations or arcade racer Forza Horizon, because the balance between the two genres is really succeeded.
