If you just want to goof off and terrorise other motorists for a while, you can go ahead and ignore the racing and have a good time slamming through fences and bouncing over fields. The Fast & Furious setting also allows for the game to skip out the boring progression of slow to fast cars, and immediately throws you into high-speed cars and a chunk of Nice to roam around. While I’ve never been a fan of the full-on simulation style of the main series, the Horizon offshoot loosens up the handling somewhat and encourages the player to throw their car around a little more, which is a lot more fun. Racing, as you might expect from a Forza game, is bloody good. But it’s excuse enough to get driving, and if you just turn the volume down you can safely ignore everything else he says and get on to the actual racing. An explanation for this is never given – what Ludacris says goes, it seems. The story is a terrible excuse to send you around unlocking cars, because apparently instead of stealing them you have to win them from other racers. Ludacris is in Nice to try and recruit a new member for the Fast & Furious crew and, as your character has been making waves at the Horizon Festival of the main game, he calls you up to help out. So it comes as no surprise that Microsoft and Universal Pictures joined forces to make the interactive advert that is Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious, essentially a cut-down version of the main product with Ludacris talking over the top of it. Simply slapping the aesthetic of another franchise on top of an existing game, however, is the kind of brazen move only the most cash grabbing of companies would do. There are some exceptions to the rule, of course, with the oft-cited Spider-Man 2 springing immediately to mind.

If you’ve been playing games for any length of time, you’ve probably found this to be true. The game launched in September.Movie tie-ins are often terrible.
