Forza Horizon 2 Reviewed on September 25 Forza Horizon 2 has sleek, shiny cars, great sound design, and top-notch tracks, but what sets it apart from the other racing games in 2014 is the hundreds of fun events, activities, and awesome off-road racing. As an open-world racer, Forza Horizon 2 gave us the opportunity to explore a beautifully designed Italy and France -- sometimes that exploration included plowing through a field of flowers to reach a Barn Find. Traveling and racing through these countries was even more fun with the the day and night cycles and addition of dynamic weather. Forza Horizon 2 capitalized on everything its predecessor established, built on it, and set a new standard for open-world racers.
