PROS

1. Graphics are top notch, greatly improved over the first game.

2. The atmosphere feels more alive than the first game with the addition of weather effects, which look stunning, and more lively crowds that are actually walking around towns this time (in the first game they were only found at horizon event areas), albeit behind indestructible barricades so that you can't hit them.

3. Good selection of cars to chose from. I think it's something like 200+ not including dlc.

4. Custom paint job creator. Create your own or download someone else's, some people have come up with some amazing paint jobs.

5. There is a lot to do. There are 168 championships and each championship has 4 races to complete plus 30 bucket list challenges(drive a specific vehicle in the game to achieve a specific goal such as meet a target speed limit at a specific speed trap), 10 barnyard finds(search for a rare old vehicle), 5 showcase events(race against a unique vehicle, a train for example), and bonus signs to find and smash(these offer xp bonuses and fast travel discounts). You also have the ability to challenge any roaming NPC/drivatar you find to a race which will be randomly generated by the game.

6. The map is a very good size and the roads are not as enclosed as the first game, meaning you can go off road and explore the environment.

7. The soundtrack is excellent and has more variety than the first game.

8. No dumb intrusive story, just racing.

9. Diving mechanics are solid and fun. Anyone familiar with the first horizon game will find driving in this game much the same.

10. More rewarding then the first game. Every time you level up you get to either spin a wheel for a random prize(credits or cars) or you earn a skill point to spend on perks. Unlocking perks will help you earn credits and xp faster.



CONS

1. Drivatars can be very annoying/aggravating to deal with. I can understand bumping and blocking me in a race but it's annoying when it happens in free roam.

2. This is just my opinion but I cannot stand the purely off road races, they frequently cross the lime from fun into frustration. I can deal with the fact you can't control your vehicle as much but I hate not being able to see where you are going and dirvatars being a bit too perfect on the off road courses. Plus there is the fact that a drivatar can miss a checkpoint and not have to turn around to go hit it but if you miss a checkpoint your pretty much f*****, better restart the race at that point because there is no way you are getting the lead back.



So that's it, everything about this game is mostly good. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. … Expand
