In the great race of social driving games, Forza Horizon 2 just pipped DriveClub and The Crew to the finishing line and can therefore be seen as a trailblazer for its genre. But has it got enough to keep the others at bay or will it soon be overtaken? Ca...

If we were being super critical then Forza Horizon 2 feels a little too much like the original Forza Horizon at times. The concept and ultimate goals are the same. But so much more has been added that it would be unfair to mark it down for that. Ind...

While it uses the same graphics engine and Drivatar tech as Forza Motorsport 5 , Horizon 2 is a very different game to its track-oriented teammate. For starters, it only forces you to drive around in an underpowered coupé for a handful of races before han...
