To celebrate the 7th edition in the fast and furious
franchise, Forza decided that we needed to have a special edition of Forza Horizon 2. Now, normally I would
play the games in order and as Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious technically comes after Forza Horison 2 I’ve had to break some internal rules to do this
one.
The storyline follows some random racer dude as Ludacris takes him/her
through missions stealing all the cars which, I imagine, are the ones used in
the film as the final scene in the game has you drive them on to the plane
which I’ve seen in the trailers (sadly, I have not watched the movie yet).
The visuals are actually stunning. It makes Forza 5 look bad in comparison. While, I’m on the subject of Forza 5, that game uses its in game
music to blow its own trumpet over how good it is. Unfortunately, I didn’t
think it was all that and the music just makes it seem really pretentious. It
did look good though.
The music is typical of a racing game based on Fast and Furious in that it’s probably more at home in a Need for Speed game. Fortunately, I
didn’t play the game long enough for this to become infuriating.
The gameplay itself was fairly simple for an open world racer. You
drive around doing missions and the like and finding collectible boards,
putting together skill chains... and that’s pretty much it. I honestly didn’t
play the game long enough to find any major flaws but maybe that’s a flaw in
itself. They have only really released it as an add-on to Forza Horizon 2 and I only racked up 3 hours and 43 minutes of play
time. Maybe I will have more to say if I ever complete Forza Horizon 2?
Achievements – 1,000 Points – 25
Achievements.
Again there is not really a lot to say about getting these. Of the 25,
13 are awarded for playing through the main story. The rest involve having to
do certain things over time but none that posed any real issues and certainly
none that I had to go out of my to work for.
One that I thought would give me trouble was the Chain Reaction
achievement for Banking a skill chain in excess of 50,000 points, however I
ended up doing this during a mission with a lot of drifting anyway.

Another short review for a short game but I can’t really complain as it
is an add-on which I paid, like, no money for.
