Forza horizon 2 xbox one review

[VR46]

Yes guess they are unlocked at higher tier completion.

Missing checkpoints on the new island means a bit of a longer penalty too it seems, you have a black screen for a couple of seconds before being placed back where you should be.

I drove all roads too Bassman, the new map is quite small and compact isn't it.

Not sure about the DLC being out in Japan.

Well, I tried to buy it from the UK store but is basically said piss off as always but it was listed in Forza Horizon 2 game menus when I switched the console to Japanese. Then I could download it.

It's really odd the way the Xbox One market place works. I can get all the UK Games with Gold for free but can't buy anything.

It certainly didn't take long to do all the roads. I've just been driving the Fiesta XR2 for now.

I am currently searching out the Part Discount boards. I have 21/25 so far (or thereabouts). I lost interest in finding them for now so I'll try again later.

Thanks for the snaps in the Gaming Screenshots thread, Yakumo!

Let's get some more in there from the Storm Island pack, team!

Should you need some help, maps of board locations here Bassman, know finding the last few in FH2 did my head in and I had to revert to a map

My biggest issue on the main game was an extra XP Board that (of course) would not register!

[VR46]

Wasn't even aware of that, I got the achievement for finding them all and moved on.
Nice to see the next photo challenge level upped to 260 different cars too.

no problem. Did a video too.
The rain effects are no where near as dramatic as those in Drive Club but man, the wind sure kicks ass as do the tracks. Forza is now an off road rally game too

[Yakumo]

Bloody hell! My copy of Horizon 2 won't load. The game boots up but just keeps playing through the intro that has the camera panning around parked cars. Been waiting 5 minutes now. Must have seen this intro loop 6 times.

Bought the lsland...more roads to drive and things to find is alright by me!
Still have a few boards to find in the main game too.

[Bassman]

I found the new Barn Find the "hard" way. Not too difficult as the barn does appear on the map.

I found it best to replace the gearbox regardless as the stock one is only good for about 131 mph. I saw 165 (ran out of fast road) with the replacement.

Crikey new Bucket List #3 the F40 Coast to Coast, that took some doing. And that was in the first batch of "medium" ones. On to the hard ones now.

The B class old mental rally cars are a right handful, the 6R4 don't know how it got that handling score. Is permanently sideways in my hands.

[Bassman]

It does seem a little more inclined to swap ends than some of the other cars admittedly. I've been driving it on the mainland to get used to it (just a gearbox upgrade though).

[VR46]

The hard bucket list ones are pretty damn hard (for me anyway), took me ages to complete the 10 drifts in the Corvette one.
Got the other three hard ones to do still.
Losing the rear end is least of the troubles with the F40 bucket list #3.
Spoiler

->Open Spoiler<-

Driving through a bunch of trees in an F40 without colliding at 120mph takes more luck than judgement

My Missus bought me and xbox one with this, Call of Duty AW and Game of Thrones for xmas. This game is such a lot of fun. I've not played a racing game in ages but i cant seem to put this one down!

Really nicely presented and the cars are real fun to drive!

Anyways back to more racing
