Racing a cargo plane or an army helicopter through the streets is thrilling and calls to mind the epic set pieces of the film series. The events themselves are quite enjoyable with epic point to point races, lap based races, drag races (complete with nitrous), showcases and even sections where you must smash down objects within an allotted time limit. The 3 hour campaign is diverse and well designed and while the story is by no means a deep and layered plot (are you expecting one from a Fast and Furious DLC pack?), it just works and it works so well that it almost feels like a proper single player story for Horizon. It may start off repetitive but when the fast travel option comes out it is infinitely more enjoyable than going through the process of driving kilometres back to your hideout can be a little annoying. Every time you get one of the cars, you must take it back to the garage to basically finish the quest line. The Bugatti Veyron can only be obtained after you have won it in a race, set a cool speed record and travelled back to your garage with some slight perimeters. The Plymouth Cuda is accessible after a race and another rather simple type of game mode. However, depending on the rarity and power of the vehicle you may have to complete more and more missions.

By completing a series of events and coming in the top spot you can win these much chased after rides and complete your goal. One of those people is Tej who needs your help in delivering ten select cars to his oft-mentioned crew (though there are 12 in total in the game). Basically you play as the Horizon Festival 2014 winner and after your satisfying victory people have started to take notice of you. He gets a little over the top sometimes, but his joyous recordings add greatly to the brightness of tone for this expansion. His connection instantly gives this more of an identity and it's through him that all of the narrative is delivered.

The story utilises the vocal talents of Ludacris, who plays Tej Parker in the movies.

It may feel like a 4 hour glorified demo (especially when it is free for the first two weeks to celebrate the movie's release), yet I didn't mind when I was having such fun. Rather than decide to create a linear arcade racer/action game, Sumo Digital (or Playground Games if you are on Xbox One) have combined the cars and characters of the popular film franchise with the gameplay and setting of the iconic racer.

But what if developers decided that rather than release a complete tie in, they could bring a movie to one of their existing and somewhat related games through the use of DLC? This is the case with Forza Horizon 2 presents Fast and Furious (a somewhat clunky title that should have been replaced with something like Forza: Furious 7). Licensed games have never gotten a particularly good rap, due to the fact that most of them are handled by developers without any real respect Licensed games have never gotten a particularly good rap, due to the fact that most of them are handled by developers without any real respect and confidence in the source material.

And thatвЂ™s something Sony in particular cares about a lot, given how much of its reputation rides on launching extremely high quality first party titles. As for players, no one really has any issues with game delays in this day and age, and everyone is more than okay waiting for games to be finished in order to launch without issue. But no, this will not change the dynamics of the console sales race, with shortages ensuring the PS5 will continue selling out all season long.

I think it will be a good moment for Xbox to grab the microphone, donвЂ™t get me wrong. And Sony is already in a strong position in terms of console sales for the year, and has already released some hits earlier on, Returnal and Ratchet and Clank, namely. This time around, Horizon Forbidden West has already shown off gameplay which looked perfectly great, and wasnвЂ™t a cause for concern. I can already see people saying вЂњbut you gave Microsoft a hard time when they delayed Halo Infinite out of 2020.вЂќ I would argue that was a bigger deal at the time because A) Microsoft had just shown off footage of the game that looked quite bad, and it very clearly needed more time and B) Microsoft had heavily tied the launch of the Series X/S to Halo Infinite and they lost their flagship title while Sony launched with a lot more must-haves.
