In Forza Horizon, you'll experience the full, open world of Colorado from the get go. There's always something to do in Forza Horizon, and there is so much variety in types of events and locales that everyone is sure to have their own favorite while other players will prefer a different type. This discrepancy makes Forza Horizon far from repetitive, and in fact, you'll find simply driving around the open world as you zip in and out of traffic a thrill all on its own. Eventually, you'll want to try out the game's various modes, and this is where you'll find plenty of substance from the normal races against competitors to the more exciting and compelling events that require to out maneuver a plane or quickly make your way through a timed contest. You'll even find special PR stunts that task you with completing Speed Challenges to progress through races at the highest speeds possible, Photo Challenges that entices you to get a vehicle to a great spot on the map for a photo shoot or even competing in Stunt Challenges that require you to chain together near misses, drifts and other dangerous maneuvers to succeed. Of course, the game features plenty of online multiplayer modes that will allow you to compete alongside friends as well, and the gameplay is just as seamless and addictive as the single player campaign. Another really cool single player feature is called Barn Find which allows you to find hidden barns around Colorado that hold broken relics that can be restored and added to your garage to unlock additional cars to use in races.
There's so much to do in Forza Horizon that you'd actually expect the game to not look so great or dip in quality at times, but miraculously, Forza Horizon manages to fit all of this content into one game and still feature amazing high definition graphics that can rival any game on the market. A really cool day and night feature exists in the game that will have you progressing through the game with hours of the day, and a variety of terrain means you'll be able to change your surroundings at whim. Head high into the mountains to race on snowy roads, head into the city for more urban surroundings or battle it out in a more rural setting and you won't have to deal with as much traffic. Then there are the cars; these impressive works of art gleam in the sunshine and feature headlights that pop-up, convertibles with retracting roofs and motors that sound alive. The folks behind the game even went the extra step to ensure you're hearing top quality voice acting in interactions between characters and always have a good soundtrack whether you're a fan of rock or like to get your thrills while listening to some speaker thumping dubstep. Essentially, you can think of anything you've ever wanted in a racing game, and Forza Horizon has it, including a Rally Expansion that releases in December for even more racing action.
