Forza Horizon 2 Review: A Driving Game That Could Even Win Over People Who Hate Driving Games

Reviews_HUD_03_ForzaHorizon2 Let me start by saying I’m not a fan of most driving games. Any Gran Turismo title has left me cold, and aside from Mario Kart, Rad Racer and San Francisco Rush, I’ve mostly been content to let the genre alone.
