However, the Fast & Furious veneer isn’t fooling anyone. No boring C and D class races - just fun cars, and a campaign with a digestible scope. If I can add a third and fourth hand to your two, this might be the best that Forza Horizon 2 ever gets. They couldn’t even throw in a “Did you see that?”ī: Fantastic Natalie Imbruglia reference aside (I have a whole story about “Left of the Middle” for another day), this feels less Fast & Furious and more like a large-scale demo for Forza Horizon 2. Ludacris’ voice over linking races just feels sort of bland. NOS and racing for pinks feel like set dressing. It’s just not there thematically because this is still Forza Horizon 2 (a very fun car driving game). On the other hand, the Fast & Furious partnership that bore this free thing feels too crass, too spurious. On one hand, I am playing a free (without Xbox Live, but only until April 10) sampling of Forza Horizon 2 that feels like it contains enough of what Forza Horizon 2 is about - especially to me, as not a car person. I am so very torn (I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel) on Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious. I’m counting the preceding as “started.” Everyone is going to see how the Destructoid sausage gets made. Start with some dialogue, send it, and I’ll respond.

However, I wouldn’t buy this for the $10 price it hits starting April 10, either. I’m not buying Horizon 2, but I gladly played this for a few hours until I’d exhausted it.

It is a nicely concentrated dose of Forza Horizon 2, though. Unfortunately, it’s not much more than a thin, thin Fast & Furious skin over Forza Horizon 2, a bit of a disappointment to the Fast & Furious fan in me. Forza Horizon has long been considered the Fast & Furious of games, so this standalone release makes sense.
